Trauma and PTSD therapists in Salem, Virginia VA
Heather Clifft
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms one's ability to cope, causes feeling of helplessness, and diminishes one's sens of self and the ability to feel a full range of emotions and experiences. The effects of trauma are deeply personal and overwhelming. As a therapist, it is a privilege to hold space for your story and pain. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy and will partner with you to carve a path to recovery that is focused on your individual and unique needs.

Melanie Mosbarger
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CTTS
I am a certified Trauma Treatment Specialist, as a result I have extensive training on the subject, but the best experience comes from the individuals I have served. I have had the privilege to come alongside many people dealing with traumas from their childhood of abuse, neglect, abandonment, traumas from sexual abuse and domestic violence which in some cases have resulted in complex PTSD. Through EMDR and holistic approaches I can help you to process through what your traumas are at your pace. I don't rush into this process, I allow you to take the lead, after you have skills and tools we can begin to unpack these core issues.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
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.
