Nathan Duff
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC (CCTP, CYMHS, C-DBT, C-PD)
I’ve been working with trauma, particularly sexual trauma, since the 1990s. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), my approach is slow and careful. While some people are comfortable jumping right into these stories, for most people it's very difficult to even begin the discussion. I understand how difficult it can be to even begin discussing trauma, so I always start by negotiating *how* we talk about it in a way that feels safe. My work has included everything from sexual trauma, to combat, to EMS, and many complex trauma cases. Possibly because I'm male I've seen an unusual number of survivors of female sexual perpetrators, a group that face some unusual challenges that aren't often discussed.
For more on my approach to trauma work, you can read articles on my website.

Mary W. Prentiss
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect how you feel, think, relate to others, and experience your everyday life—even long after the event has ended. I provide trauma-informed therapy for clients working through traumatic experiences, PTSD symptoms, anxiety, emotional triggers, and difficult memories.
I use approaches including EMDR and other trauma-informed interventions to help clients process experiences at a pace that feels safe and manageable. My goal is not to erase what happened, but to help you feel less controlled by it and more grounded, safe, and connected in the present.

Aryn Ziehnert
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trauma is not defined only by what happened to you, but by the lasting impact it leaves on your mind, body, and sense of safety. Living with trauma or PTSD often means navigating unexpected triggers, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or intrusive memories that pull you back into the past. In our work together, healing is never forced or rushed. My practice offers a gentle, trauma-informed harbor where safety and pacing are prioritized above all else. Using evidence-based, compassionate approaches, we will work collaboratively to help soothe your nervous system, process painful experiences without overwhelm, and restore a sense of calm, control, and wholeness.
