Trauma and PTSD
Chuck Satterwhite
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MDiv
One thing that has greatly enhanced my view of therapy is training to facilitate trauma healing groups. Part of our work together will include developing tools to use in moments when PTSD makes its appearance. We will move at a speed you are comfortable with to process your story and change your narrative moving forward.

Trauma and PTSD
Tricia Mazza
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Trauma often shows up as hypervigilance, self-doubt, and a lingering sense that you have to stay on guard in relationships. You may notice patterns of over-functioning, people-pleasing, or difficulty trusting your own instincts. These responses are not flaws—they are adaptations to experiences where your emotional safety was compromised. In our work, we focus on helping you understand these patterns and reconnect with a sense of safety, clarity, and self-trust.

Trauma and PTSD
Kristee Barker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
I am a trauma specialist. Trauma — whether from childhood, relationships, military service, first responder work, or sudden life events — leaves lasting imprints on the nervous system and on how you see yourself and the world. I use trauma‑focused approaches like EMDR and IFS to help you process what happened with safety and clarity, and skills‑based approaches like DBT and CBT to support you in building steadier, healthier ways of coping. My style is gentle and directive. Together, we work to calm your nervous system, untangle the patterns that trauma created, and help you feel grounded, empowered, and more fully yourself again.

Trauma and PTSD
Shay Malone
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing the ongoing effects of childhood abuse and neglect. This includes emotional neglect as well, which is often a surprise for clients who remember their home as a happy place. Chronic childhood stress is one of the most common causes of anxiety and depression, as well as autoimmune disorders. Adults who had chronic childhood stress are also far more likely to end up in emotionally unsafe relationships.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Narcissistic abuse and coercive control cause real, clinically significant trauma. Many of the mothers I work with have never been told this — they've been treated for anxiety or depression without anyone naming the source as relational trauma. The symptoms are real: intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, emotional flashbacks, difficulty trusting others, avoidance of anything that triggers memories of the relationship. Complex PTSD, which develops from prolonged exposure to psychological abuse rather than a single traumatic event, is especially common in survivors of narcissistic relationships. As a licensed psychologist with 30 years of clinical experience and advanced training in trauma, post-separation abuse, and narcissistic abuse recovery, I provide trauma-informed therapy specifically designed for mothers healing from relational trauma and complex PTSD. My approach addresses the trauma at its roots — not just the symptoms — using evidence-based methods tailored to the specific trauma patterns that narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships create.

Richard Forde
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor
I address trauma and PTSD through a trauma-informed, nervous-system-focused approach that emphasizes safety, stabilization, and healing at a sustainable pace. Using evidence-based methods such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems, I help clients gently process traumatic experiences, reduce symptoms, and develop healthier, more adaptive ways of responding to stress. For clients who desire it, Christian faith can be thoughtfully integrated to support hope, meaning, and restoration.

Trauma and PTSD
Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with a compassionate and faith-centered approach, integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles to guide individuals toward healing and restoration. Recognizing the profound impact of trauma on the mind, emotions, and spirit, I create a safe and supportive environment that incorporates prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on God's healing power. Drawing upon biblical teachings of comfort, resilience, and restoration, the counselor collaborates with individuals to navigate the effects of trauma and develop coping strategies. Encouraging a reliance on God's strength and the transformative power of faith, the counselor assists individuals in processing and overcoming traumatic experiences while fostering a sense of safety and trust in their Christian beliefs. This integrated approach aims to support individuals in their journey toward emotional healing, resilience, and spiritual renewal within the context of Christian values.
