Sherry Murray
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
We often see trauma in so many places that we think that what happened to us is not as bad as what we see others going through. And that may be true, but what happened to us affects us, not those others, and focusing on others will not help us heal from our trauma. How do you know if your trauma is still affecting you? If you feel like the trauma just keeps happening over and over, you wake from nightmares about it or can't sleep at all, and your digestive system is a wreck, you have a hard time trusting others and your self esteem is rock bottom.

Aryn Ziehnert
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trauma is not defined only by what happened to you, but by the lasting impact it leaves on your mind, body, and sense of safety. Living with trauma or PTSD often means navigating unexpected triggers, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or intrusive memories that pull you back into the past. In our work together, healing is never forced or rushed. My practice offers a gentle, trauma-informed harbor where safety and pacing are prioritized above all else. Using evidence-based, compassionate approaches, we will work collaboratively to help soothe your nervous system, process painful experiences without overwhelm, and restore a sense of calm, control, and wholeness.

Olena Miller
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC, LCMHC
Trauma can continue to affect you long after the experience itself is over. You may find yourself feeling stuck, on edge, disconnected, or struggling with patterns that seem difficult to change. I specialize in working with trauma and PTSD and have been trained in EMDR since 2018. I use EMDR frequently because I’ve seen how effective it can be in helping clients process difficult experiences and reduce the impact they continue to have on their lives. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space to work through these experiences at a pace that feels manageable for you.

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.
