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.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

Ian Hagemann, MSW
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, SWAA 60977729
I use a trauma-informed approach throughout my practice because trauma is unfortunately so common throughout the world. I focus on symptom reduction, supporting my clients to better understand how their experiences affect them in the world, and help Clients develop concrete skills to keep their energy in the present and the future rather than in the past.

PTSD/Trauma
Debiruth Stanford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, DWTF, 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.

PTSD/Trauma
Kody Evans
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma can continue to affect you long after an experience has ended, sometimes showing up through anxiety, heightened reactions, avoidance, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from yourself and the people around you. Therapy can help you understand how past experiences are influencing the present and develop healthier ways of responding when old reactions surface. My approach is thoughtful and collaborative, with an emphasis on creating a sense of safety, building practical coping skills, and helping you move forward without allowing the past to define what comes next.

Trauma can result from various situations or events that are life threatening. While some individuals might have survived a traumatic upbringing or recent incident, they might find themselves still struggling in new ways or even repeating similar trauma patterns in their lives.
