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.

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.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Jeffrey Kehoe
Counselor/Therapist, ND, L.Ac, BCB, FABORM
Safety plays a key role in trauma and PTSD, and it is just as critical in the healing process. Whether we realize it or not, our body's response to these experiences is often a safety mechanism. However, after time, it can get in the way of recovery. It is imperative that I create a safe environment for patients in order to better understand their personal experience(s) and support them moving forward.

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.
