Let's help you to understand the impact of what happened to you and develop a plan for managing your trauma reactions. I empower you to heal and to move from just surviving to thriving.

Christina Sheehan
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC
Trauma isn’t just what happened to you—it’s what stayed in your body long after. I help clients safely process and integrate traumatic experiences using a relational, grounded approach that respects your pace. Whether you’re living with flashbacks, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness, healing is possible. You don’t have to carry this alone anymore.

Trauma and PTSD
Brianna Kriley, Wellness Rooted Counseling
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, ACS, NCC, LMHC, LPC
My background is in helping people with trauma and PTSD, especially when it disrupts daily life. I focus on both past trauma and how it can resurface during new challenges. I believe that most reactions to trauma are normal, even if they don’t always feel that way. We’ll work together to identify triggers, build regulation skills, and find healthy ways to release the energy stored by trauma. You don’t have to talk about your trauma if you’re not ready,healing can happen in many ways. I use evidence-based practices to support you, always remembering that while trauma can shape our lives, it doesn’t have to define them.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Brandon Zahl
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Unresolved trauma is a ghost that haunts us in every part of our lives. Mental, emotional and even physical consequences manifest from our past experiences, even if we don't remember them. We don't want to "go back there" yet we remain stuck, either consciously or unconsciously, until we tap into the body's innate ability to heal from the past. Together we'll work on connecting with a sense of safety and security in the present moment and work on tools for you to manage anxiety and depression. Then we'll gently begin revisiting the unprocessed trauma, bit by bit, until we've processed it through and you are free of the past.

My approach combines thoughtful medication management with a deep understanding of how trauma lives in the body and mind. Together, we’ll work to restore a sense of safety, empowerment, and connection—on your terms, at your pace.

Trauma and PTSD
Brittney Neidhardt
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I specialize in working with folks with Complex PTSD (or neurodevelopmental trauma) and the impact that trauma can have on a person's life. I enjoy walking along side and with people as they reconnect with what makes them uniquely who they are or discover it for the first time. Trauma can impact every part of our lives, so my approach includes identifying all the ways it can show up and how to heal each part so folks can feel at home in their own body and life.

Trauma and PTSD
Hannah Muetzelfeld
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based treatment for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms. CPT helps individuals process and reframe unhelpful beliefs related to their trauma, allowing them to regain a sense of safety, trust, and control in their lives. I work collaboratively with clients to adaptively apply this modality to each unique case.

Angelica Amaya
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW,LICSW
I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), providing a safe and supportive environment for healing. I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to help clients process distressing memories, reduce emotional intensity, and restore a sense of balance and control. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and tailored to each person’s unique pace and needs on their journey toward recovery.

Trauma and PTSD
Brian Jones
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MEd, LMHC, LPC
I specifically focus on people with religious trauma. You might not have thought about your trauma as religious. But did you have a tough time growing up in a strict church environment? So did I. Maybe you didn't even realize the effect it had on you until much later in life.
I use Internal Family Systems therapy, which is an approach used specifically for trauma. However, it is not a PTSD approach. If you suffer from severe PTSD symptoms, I'm probably not the right fit for you. If you're not sure, schedule a free consultation. I can provide you with referrals to PTSD specialists if we decide that's appropriate.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Daniela Guerrero
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Trauma is not about what happened to your but rather how your body processed it. Sometimes we are quick to dismiss our traumas because they "shouldn't have been traumatic". Let's try EMDR and see if we can help work through some of those experiences.

Trauma and PTSD
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, trauma isn't the thing that happened 15 years ago (or last week), it's the ongoing effects that that incident continues to have on your body.
We can work together to figure out how your body is still reacting to that incident, and work to help your body 'catch up' to the present moment. If you're safer now than you were then, there are ways we can help your body 'complete' the threat response from so long ago, and land in the comparative safety of the present moment.
I can't treat PTSD, so if you've been diagnosed with PTSD you should still work with a licensed mental health professional, even as you work with me. What I can do is support your body in turning down the volume on that threatened feeling that has been coming up since the trauma-inducing events.
