Trauma can live in the body and nervous system long after an event has passed, showing up as anxiety, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, or feeling stuck in old patterns. I provide trauma-informed therapy that helps you gently process painful experiences while building safety, stability, and resilience. Our work focuses on restoring a sense of control, connection, and wholeness — at a pace that honors your nervous system and your story.

PTSD/Trauma
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma can continue to shape how you experience yourself, other people, and the world long after the original events have ended. You may understand intellectually that you're no longer in danger, yet still find yourself reacting intensely to certain situations, struggling to trust others, feeling disconnected from your emotions, or repeating patterns you wish you could leave behind. My approach to trauma therapy goes beyond recounting what happened or learning to manage symptoms. We work at a pace that respects your capacity, exploring how past experiences continue to influence your present while creating new emotional experiences that can help shift deeply learned expectations about safety, connection, and your own worth. I work especially well with people who experienced relational trauma, narcissistic abuse, childhood abuse or neglect, or complex trauma.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with adults experiencing the lasting effects of trauma, including childhood experiences with emotionally immature, unpredictable, or emotionally unavailable caregivers, as well as financial insecurity and instability that shaped an early sense of safety. I also have extensive experience treating PTSD related to specific traumatic events. My approach considers how past experiences continue to influence relationships, self-worth, emotional responses, and a person’s sense of safety in the present.

Denise Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW-C
As a Certified EMDR Therapist and an Approved EMDRIA consultant, the bulk of my clients come to me for trauma, PTSD, or Complex PTSD (sometimes known as developmental trauma). A common myth about EMDR is that it re-traumatizes the client, but when it's done properly that's not true. Trauma victims who receive any kind of therapy (not just EMDR!) need and deserve to be attended to slowly and listened to with profound sensitivity to their lived experience in order to bring them relief without re-traumatization. In addition to being an EMDR therapist, I am a trauma-informed practitioner who understands the importance of using the relational aspects of EMDR to help clients move through and process their trauma while feeling protected and safe.
