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
Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma has a way of living in the body and the mind long after the event itself has passed, and for many girls and women, it can quietly shape the way they see themselves, their relationships, and the world around them without them even realizing it. At Alabaster Counseling, we provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for girls and women who are carrying the weight of trauma and PTSD, whether it stems from childhood experiences, abuse, loss, assault, or any other painful chapter of your story. We understand that talking about trauma takes tremendous courage, and we will always move at your pace, honoring your boundaries and your process every step of the way. Our goal is to help you feel safe, understood, and empowered as you work through what you have experienced and begin to reclaim the sense of peace, wholeness, and freedom that is rightfully yours.

Trauma and PTSD
Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Trauma can continue to shape how you feel, respond, and relate long after the original experience has passed. It may show up as hypervigilance, emotional numbing, reactivity, or a persistent sense of being on edge. Many women find themselves trying to function while their nervous system remains stuck in protective patterns. In our work together, we focus on understanding these responses, gently increasing your sense of safety and regulation, and building new ways of relating to yourself and others that are not defined by past experiences.

Newport News is defined by its location at the heart of the Hampton Roads shipbuilding and military industrial complex — home to Newport News Shipbuilding (now HII), one of the country's largest and most strategically significant defense contractors — creating a therapy community serving a large workforce navigating the psychological pressures of national security-adjacent industrial work alongside the region's substantial military population. The city has a large African American population with deep community roots in the Peninsula, and culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma, community resilience, and the particular dynamics of working-class Black life in Hampton Roads are an important part of the local landscape. Riverside Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community. Newport News shares the Hampton Roads mental health ecosystem with Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Hampton, and residents often access care across the region.
