Vittoria Donato Grant
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC, NCC
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Traumatologist, and Nationally Certified Counselor, I specialize in trauma therapy and the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Trauma can deeply impact a person’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being, often resulting in anxiety, flashbacks, and difficulty trusting others. Utilizing evidence-based approaches such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and mindfulness techniques, I help clients process their experiences in a safe environment. My goal is to support individuals in regaining a sense of safety, control, and empowerment as they work through past trauma and build resilience.

Trauma can be one incident or it can be a lifetime of neglect and absence of emotional and physical security. The brain changes to adapt to the unsafe environment. Working to rewire the brain is key in trauma therapy.
