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.

Mary Sayre
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed, LPC
Trauma can be one incident or it can be a lifetime of neglect and absence of emotional and physical security. The brain changes to adapt to the unsafe environment. Working to rewire the brain is key in trauma therapy.

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.

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.

Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is the experience not just of what happened to us, but by how our bodies, neurology, and hearts respond to what happened to us. Traumas of 'small t' and traumas of 'big T' both create adaptions to our true selves that can lead in our being 'stuck' in ways that don't serve us, that may create more trauma, or disconnection from our true selves and to our relationships with others. We have multiple ways of healing trauma, including complex traumas, including Flash Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), clinical hypnosis, somatic work, art therapy and more. Coming back to your true self, perhaps for the first time, is not a journey to be missed.
