Kevin Childs
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Traumas large and small have the potential to live in our minds and bodies for a lifetime. We want to free ourselves from the burden of those experiences. Therapy is a key factor in addressing the issue of trauma. We approach it from a variety of angles and help our people live free from fears of the past.

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.

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.

A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Trauma can continue affecting you long after the experience itself has ended. You may find yourself feeling constantly on guard, avoiding certain situations, struggling to trust others, experiencing painful memories, or noticing that past experiences continue to shape your relationships, boundaries, self-worth, and the way you respond to conflict. I help women explore how trauma and difficult past experiences may still be influencing their lives today. Together, we’ll work toward understanding your responses with greater compassion, processing what you’ve carried, strengthening your sense of safety and self-trust, and creating healthier patterns that allow your past to be part of your story without continuing to define your future.

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.

Summit Counseling Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, ATR-BC
Trauma and PTSD are supported through individual counseling. Some counselors offer art therapy and we have one counselor who does EMDR. Reviewing past trauma can be beneficial in the counseling process as it can be a means of neutralizing the trauma. Trauma does not have to define you and we can identify how trauma has shaped your present and how to cope going forward.
