Trauma and PTSD
Kate Regnier
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, LCSW, LICSW
When trauma hits, it's unexpected and our systems aren't prepared for handling it. It's not a weakness, it's just being human. While our bodies try to process what has happened, they become overwhelmed and sometimes stuck and it can't process the trauma properly. Instead, we end up with nightmares, intrusive images, flashbacks, irritability, numbness, stomach aches, and other scary symptom's. This is our bodies actually trying to protect us. They're just a little confused on how to do it. We'll reprocess the trauma and the symtpoms to help your body learn that it is safe now and doesn't have to keep you on such high alert.

Kris O'Shee
Counselor/Therapist, MA in Counseling Psychology, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I am certified in the treatment of Trauma and PTSD from the Center for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington, DC. I have traveled to war-torn countries working with refugees and medical teams helping to alleviate the mental suffering caused by the shock and horror of war. And while most of us have not been in war zones, we can experience similar effects on our nervous systems caused by early childhood abuse, domestic violence, or the sudden death of a loved one. We can go through frightening panic attacks and have what can feel like inexplicable anxiety. We now know how the body responds to stress and what tools are useful in alleviating its effects on our lives. Meditation, movement, drawing, visualization, and guided imagery are some of the approaches which I have found to be helpful in calming the nervous system and restoring more balance to our mental and physical lives; in a sense, getting our lives back. I want to help you in this healing process and to give you the tools you can then implement, on your own, in order to have more stability and inner peace.

Alison Huang - Grow Your Mind Psychotherapy
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." We can't change what happened to us, but we can change how we respond to trauma. I am a trauma-informed therapist who specialized in treating people with trauma history. I was trained in strengths-based trauma recovery and somatic experiencing to help clients release their traumatic responses, regulate their physical responses, and connect their body and mind.

Lauren Rothstein
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In working with Trauma and PTSD, I employ a trauma-informed and patient-centered approach. This involves creating a safe therapeutic space where individuals can explore and process their traumatic experiences. Techniques such as Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may be used to address symptoms and promote healing. The focus is on helping individuals regain a sense of control, manage triggers, address avoidance, and work towards building a foundation for long-term recovery.

Dr. Wayne Bullock

As you move through life, you might go through an experience that is overwhelming to you. Trauma is the result of an experience so distressing that it leaves you feeling disconnected from yourself and others. You might feel jumpy, numb, distrusting, and unsure of your future. Sharing and processing with someone who can help you to understand and make sense of the senseless can help you to begin to heal from your trauma.
