Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma work cannot work solely on a verbal level-for years, I worked in verbal therapy alone and observed people coming to better understandings of what happened to them and how it left marks even in the present day while continuing to suffer. But once I integrated EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting into my work with people with trauma, I began to see true shifts in nervous system functioning and healing that was core deep and not just simply coping, bringing true and lasting relief from the pain of the past.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma has a way of showing up and persisting despite our efforts to keep it at bay. For some, it’s like a thorn that has settled into place and doesn’t hurt too badly as long as you focus your attention elsewhere. For others, it’s an unavoidable, constant source of pain, anger, and fear. Whether it happened recently or decades ago, trauma can take up valuable space in our lives. This may come in the form of unwanted memories, difficulty trusting others, feeling on edge, irritability, avoiding certain situations, or maybe all of the above. Unfortunately, efforts to avoid thinking about past traumatic events often keep people from seeking treatment and finding relief. Although challenging, addressing and resolving emotional wounds can be incredibly liberating and rewarding. Trauma treatment can positively shift the lens through which you see yourself, your relationships, and ultimately the world around you.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Millie C. Astin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trauma can happen to anyone at any time. Combat, sexual assault, interpersonal violence, and other forms of injury and threat to life can lead to crippling symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). These can include intrusive thoughts about the trauma, nightmares, feeing on guard, not being able to sleep or concentrate, irritability, and feeling disconnected from others. There are several very effective treatments for PTSD that help you face the trauma directly so you can come to terms with it and move on with your life. These include Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement and Desensitization Therapy (EMDR) and a new, briefer treatment called Written Exposure Therapy (WET). I have extensive experience with all of these approaches and can help you regain your life with them. Additionally, I worked for many years at the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, leading the PTSD Clinic, so have lots of familiarity with veterans as well as civilians.

PTSD/Trauma
Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
I've found that the range of traumas that people experience disrupts our experience of day-to-day life and relationships in so many ways. So many people who've experienced patterns of traumatizing, persistently invalidating, or minimizing experiences have found coping strategies to manage the profound impacts of trauma but eventually find that those strategies no longer work. Together, we will look at the impact of traumas and using a range of practices, which potentially include EMDR, internal parts work, and polyvagal theory, we will work to supportively rebuild a sense of self-guided trust in the world.
