Trauma and PTSD
Monica Thoelke
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Treating Trauma and PTSD is a multidimensional process that involves elements of Exposure therapy or Cognitive processing therapies joined with Somatic or body based approaches. My trauma treatment approaches have evolved from studying multiple methodologies for processing, giving space to and releasing trauma triggers. Healing and transformation take place at multiple levels.

Trauma and PTSD
Sarah Chun
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
As a trauma-focused therapist, I utilize EMDR to help clients process childhood traumas, complex traumas, and any other trauma experiences. It has been an honor to witness clients process traumas and feel more fully connected to themselves after EMDR. If you are nervous about starting this process please reach out and we can talk it through.

Trauma and PTSD
Kaylie Groenhout
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, EMDRIA Certified Therapist
Because trauma and PTSD live in the body and nervous system, talk therapy alone is often not enough to find relief. I utilize EMDR and IFS-informed parts work to help you process stuck memories so they no longer trigger a survival response in the present. This specialized approach allows you to finally feel safe in your own skin and move forward without the constant weight of the past.

Trauma and PTSD
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.
