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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
