Defining the Impact
Trauma: This is the emotional and physiological response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event. It can shatter your sense of security, making the world feel unpredictable and dangerous.
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder): This can occur when the initial trauma doesn't "settle." It often involves intrusive memories (flashbacks), avoiding reminders of the event, and feeling constantly "on edge" or hyper-vigilant.
Our Path Forward: Safety First
Healing from trauma is not a race, and it is certainly not about being re-traumatized in the therapist's chair. Our work together is built on a foundation of predictability and choice.
Pacing and Control: We will go slowly. You are the one with your foot on the pedal. We only move toward difficult memories when you feel ready and regulated.
Grounding in the Present: Before we ever touch the pain of the past, we will focus on grounding techniques. These are practical tools designed to keep you tethered to the safety of the "here and now" when your mind tries to pull you back into a memory.
Safe Exposure: When the time is right, we will use gentle, managed exposure to help your brain process what happened. The goal is to transform "terrifying memories" into "past history"—things that happened to you, but no longer control you.
You don't have to stay trapped in the past. We will work together to build a present where you feel safe in your own skin again.

Vanessa Hooper
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
Trauma changes how your body and brain respond to the present, not just how you remember the past. As an EMDR-trained clinician specializing in complex childhood and relational trauma, I help you process what happened and reclaim a sense of safety in your own life.

Melissa Watson
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMHC, ATR
I specialize in treating trauma. I am trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), a well researched therapeutic approach that supports clients to work through trauma and stressful memories, and requires less talking than traditional therapy.

Acumen Psychological Services PLLC/ Dr Robinson
Psychologist, Psy.D., ABPP, PSYPACT
Trauma can result from various situations or events that are life threatening. While some individuals might have survived a traumatic upbringing or recent incident, they might find themselves still struggling in new ways or even repeating similar trauma patterns in their lives. If you're still struggling with deep pain from childhood or recent traumatic events, it's ok to reach out for help in your healing journey.
