PTSD/Trauma
Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma lives in the body as much as in memory, showing up as hypervigilance, flashbacks, numbness, or reactions that feel far bigger than the moment warrants. It makes sense: your system learned to protect you. I offer a careful, paced approach that respects that wisdom while helping you feel safe in your own skin again, so the past loosens its grip and the present becomes yours to live. This includes trauma tied to falls, injuries, and frightening experiences with horses.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
A trauma-informed approach underlies all of my work as a therapist. I know that many clients come to therapy not specifically because of trauma, but because they feel lonely or inadequate, they are depressed or anxious, or just cannot seem to have the intimacy they crave. Sometimes acknowledging trauma comes later in the therapy work and that is okay. Just know that I trust that you will talk about it when you are ready.
I would like to join you in acknowledging how the past has affected your present and in charting a course to healing that works for you. You may wish to talk about particular pains from the past and you may wish to focus on the future. We will work together to find the balance that is right for you, so that you can live the life that you really want to live.

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.
