Matthew Wolfe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MHP
Trauma work can look many different ways and requires some specific understanding of the nervous system, attachment processes, and survival mechanisms. Once we have a good grounding we will be able to integrate the experiences you've gone through, diffusing their emotional activation, and addressing the longer term/subtle impacts that might still be disrupting your relationship to self and other.

PTSD/Trauma
Arthur (Archie) Levine
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LMHC
Experiencing traumas can change the brain in profound ways, affecting the way a person perceives the world & reacts to triggering situations. The brain stores traumatic memories in a way that the person perceives the memory as being still in process. Through the use of Thought Pattern Management, Hypnotherapy, & Hypnotherapy, traumatic memories can be processed in a way that enables the brain to change the way it stores these memories, allowing the person to recognized that the event is in the past & that they are now safe. The person is then free to heal & grow, leaving the pain somewhere in the past.
