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.

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.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
My understanding of trauma has shifted along with international research on why some events create lasting challenging effects for some people but not for others. Our collective awareness has gone from thinking, “What's wrong with you?” to asking, “What happened to you?” and now focusing on, “Who was there for you?”
A simple retelling of a traumatic experience does not always deeply heal the one who suffers. While it can feel good to be truly heard, especially for those who have never told it before and need real empathy, repeatedly telling the story does not often change the subconscious beliefs implanted during the trauma or the nervous system’s reactivity.
Instead, we build a new relationship with a traumatic experience by re-approaching the memory and inviting a shift. Often the shift is around “Who could have been there for you.” While in factual reality, no one may have stopped the trauma, we can access another perspective that enables our bodies, hearts, and minds to feel supported. We can do this many ways: through role play, through calling in ancestors or pop stars or our highest selves, or by letting our wise adult-self take over the situation. Or we may use drawing materials or nature to discover a new part of the experience we didn’t realize before.
I've taken many trainings in the origins and effects of trauma and PTSD, and I find working with the nervous system and imaginal realm (creative liminal space) highly effective. I'm not a licensed mental health therapist; I'm a spiritual life coach, so my work is integrative. I offer: calm spaciousness & empathy as you talk, embodied processing options (drawing, clay work, self soothing), and inner parts work (mediated inner dialogue or a “committee of voices,” similar to Soulwork or Internal Family Systems).
Then we make a plan to implement the new shift into everyday life.
