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.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Danielle Watkins at Sound Wellness Counseling PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LMFT, LMHC, NCC, PMH-C
When specializing in trauma and PTSD treatment, I focus on supporting individuals who have experienced deeply distressing or life-threatening events, helping them process and heal from the lasting emotional, psychological, and physical effects. This work addresses symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, hypervigilance, and avoidance, while providing a safe and structured space to explore traumatic experiences. Using evidence-based approaches like trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and grounding techniques, counseling helps clients regain a sense of safety, process difficult memories, and rebuild resilience. The goal is to empower individuals to reclaim control, restore emotional balance, and move toward healing and post-traumatic growth.

Trauma and PTSD
Doria McGahey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Much of my work is focused on trauma and PTSD. So many folks have lived through trauma in their childhood years or as an adult whether it be childhood abuse or neglect or a physical injury or experience such as a car accident, assault or a medical experience. I utilize a combination of tools including EMDR, boundaries work, assertive communication skills, ego-states interventions, ACT work to help folks heal, grow and move past the distress and pain that the experience has caused and maybe kept them stuck

Trauma and PTSD
Michelle Meade
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
My training is rooted in relational psychoanalysis, a profound (though not trendy) way to address the way trauma affects our relationships to self and others. If you've read What My Bones Know, by Stephanie Foo, it's in the same arena as Dr. Jacob Ham's approach. From that foundation, we often integrate Internal Family Systems (a kind of parts work) and somatic work to get beneath the surface and rebuild self-trust.

Umbrella Therapy - Andrew Baker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
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.
