Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma or are navigating symptoms of PTSD. Trauma can impact how you think, feel, and respond—often showing up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, numbness, or feeling constantly on edge. Together, we focus on helping your nervous system feel safer, processing past experiences at a pace that feels manageable, and building tools to support regulation in everyday life. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies with mind-body techniques, helping you move out of survival mode and toward a place of greater stability, connection, and control.

Reclaim Counseling, PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC
Trauma is any time in your life where your emotions overwhelmed you past the point that you had the resources to cope with in the moment. Whether it was because you were alone without a trusting adult to guide you, too young to understand what was happening, or an event or person was terrifying.

Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Trauma can continue affecting you long after the danger has passed. You may experience intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance, emotional numbness, shame, irritability, difficulty trusting others, or a constant sense that something bad is about to happen. Past experiences may also influence your relationships, self-worth, and the way you respond to conflict or vulnerability.
My approach is both insight-oriented and structured. Drawing from Adlerian and psychodynamic therapy, we may explore how traumatic experiences shaped the beliefs you developed about yourself, other people, and the world. Understanding these connections can help you recognize when old survival responses are still influencing your present life.
I use evidence-based approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, or EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, or CPT, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT. EMDR may help reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories. CPT and CBT can help you identify and challenge beliefs related to guilt, blame, safety, trust, control, and self-worth.
We may also use mindfulness, grounding, and emotional regulation strategies to help you manage distress and remain connected to the present. Treatment is paced carefully, and you will not be expected to discuss painful experiences in more detail than you are ready to tolerate.
My goal is not to erase what happened. It is to help the past feel less present, reduce the power traumatic experiences have over your choices, and help you regain a greater sense of safety, connection, and control.

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.
