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
Debiruth Stanford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CDWF, CEQP
Sometimes the brain does not process intense or disturbing life events or stressors. This can lead to post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI, aka PTSD). A person with PTSI may experience anxiety, depression, physical pain, flashbacks, nightmares, heightened startle response, hypervigilance, and a host of other issues that make life difficult if not unbearable. I can assist in reducing or even neutralizing those effects through targeted therapy that helps the brain effectively process past events. My most-used modality is EMDR followed by Lifespan Integration, certain hypnotherapy techniques, and cognitive behavioral therapies. Let's talk if you are tired of living on the edge.

I use a trauma-informed approach throughout my practice because trauma is unfortunately so common throughout the world.

Trauma and PTSD
Jed Jacobson
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
PTSD and trauma symptoms often emerge when the mind and body stay stuck in survival mode long after the threat has passed. My therapeutic approach creates a calm, attuned space to explore these patterns and develop new pathways of regulation and meaning. Together we work toward restoring balance, resilience, and a felt sense of wholeness.

Trauma and PTSD
Daniel Hong
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC
Trauma and PTSD can leave lasting emotional, physical, and relational imprints, often shaping how safe, connected, or present you feel in your daily life. Beginning trauma work can feel intimidating, especially when painful memories or experiences have been carried for a long time. I approach this work with care, pacing, and deep respect for your nervous system and readiness. Using EMDR alongside a relational, person-centered foundation, I aim to create a space where trauma processing can feel safer, more contained, and achievable. Together, we move at a pace that supports stability while allowing healing, integration, and a renewed sense of agency to emerge over time.

Trauma and PTSD
Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Trauma and PTSD can affect how you experience safety, connection, memory, and your own body. Symptoms may include anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbing, intrusive thoughts, dissociation, or difficulty feeling grounded in the present moment.
In therapy, trauma is approached with care, pacing, and respect for your nervous system. We do not force disclosure or overwhelm the system with intensity. Instead, we focus on creating safety, stability, and choice in the therapeutic process.
From a psychodynamic and trauma-informed perspective, we also explore how past experiences continue to shape present emotional responses, relational patterns, and internal beliefs. Healing involves not only understanding these patterns, but gently updating the nervous system’s sense of what is safe now.
Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy supports this process by helping you track the “felt sense” — the subtle body-based experience of emotion and memory — in a way that allows trauma to be approached without reactivation or overwhelm.
Over time, clients often experience greater regulation, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of connection to themselves and their lives.
