Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Healing from trauma and PTSD requires a compassionate, structured approach that acknowledges both emotional and physiological responses to past experiences. I provide a safe, supportive space to process trauma at a pace that feels right, using evidence-based techniques like trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and somatic awareness. By addressing triggers, regulating the nervous system, and reframing distressing memories, individuals can regain a sense of control, safety, and self-trust. My approach emphasizes resilience, emotional integration, and reclaiming a life not defined by past trauma.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, including the kind that doesn't always fit a single dramatic event, ongoing racialized stress, immigration-related trauma, or the accumulated weight of navigating institutions and environments not built with you in mind. My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, to help process what happened and rebuild a sense of safety and stability. Many of my clients are first-generation professionals or Latinx adults for whom trauma is layered with cultural and immigration history. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’ve experienced trauma, you may feel like your mind and body are still reacting as if the event is happening now. You might have intrusive memories, heightened anxiety, difficulty relaxing, or feel triggered by situations that don’t seem to make sense. Even when you know you’re safe, your system may not fully believe it—leaving you feeling on edge, disconnected, or exhausted.
I help clients process and resolve trauma in a way that feels safe, structured, and effective. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work to understand and shift the thoughts that keep you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we gently access and process the emotional patterns stored at a deeper level—helping your mind and body update their response to the present. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you reconnect with your life, your values, and a sense of forward movement.
What’s often missing isn’t awareness—you may already understand what happened and why it affected you. What’s missing is a way to help your nervous system fully process the experience so it no longer reacts as if you’re still in danger. Without that, the symptoms can persist, even when you’re trying to move on.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready for relief. If you’re willing to approach this in a supportive and effective way, I can help you reduce triggers, feel more grounded, and regain a sense of safety, control, and peace in your life.

Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
The impact of a single, traumatic event or experiencing an environment that provides a chronic sense of danger can have a debilitating effect on how we view the world and how we function in it. Through therapy, we'll identify how your experiences of trauma are manifested in your body and thoughts, and work on improving upon your awareness of triggers and improving coping behaviors.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience helping clients who have experienced physical, emotional, and/or sexual trauma, particularly in their childhood. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

Trauma can deeply impact a person’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being, often resulting in anxiety, flashbacks, and difficulty trusting others.
