PTSD/Trauma
Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Trauma can continue affecting you long after the danger has passed. You may experience intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance, emotional numbness, shame, irritability, difficulty trusting others, or a constant sense that something bad is about to happen. Past experiences may also influence your relationships, self-worth, and the way you respond to conflict or vulnerability.
My approach is both insight-oriented and structured. Drawing from Adlerian and psychodynamic therapy, we may explore how traumatic experiences shaped the beliefs you developed about yourself, other people, and the world. Understanding these connections can help you recognize when old survival responses are still influencing your present life.
I use evidence-based approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, or EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, or CPT, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT. EMDR may help reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories. CPT and CBT can help you identify and challenge beliefs related to guilt, blame, safety, trust, control, and self-worth.
We may also use mindfulness, grounding, and emotional regulation strategies to help you manage distress and remain connected to the present. Treatment is paced carefully, and you will not be expected to discuss painful experiences in more detail than you are ready to tolerate.
My goal is not to erase what happened. It is to help the past feel less present, reduce the power traumatic experiences have over your choices, and help you regain a greater sense of safety, connection, and control.

PTSD/Trauma
Celeste Tomasulo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When we think of trauma, we typically think of Big “T” traumas: accidents, assaults, and overt physical danger. There are also Little “t” traumas which are chronic and ongoing moments where we’ve felt unsafe, unprotected, or in a constant state of survival (fight, flight, freeze, fawn). The brain interprets trauma from both real and perceived events. Trauma is not the event that happened, it's the internal reaction your body has in response. Using a trauma informed approach, I guide you through resourcing your body to address stored and unresolved trauma in a safe and grounded environment. This helps the body to reprocess these events and heal the parts holding onto these distressing memories and emotions.

Acumen Psychological Services PLLC/ Dr Robinson
Psychologist, Psy.D., ABPP, PSYPACT
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. If you're still struggling with deep pain from childhood or recent traumatic events, it's ok to reach out for help in your healing journey.

Vancouver, Washington sits directly across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon, and its mental health landscape is shaped by its dual identity as an independent city and a satellite of Portland's larger urban ecosystem. Many residents commute into Oregon for work, and a significant number access Portland's broader therapy market alongside local Clark County providers. Common therapy concerns include stress related to rapid population growth and rising housing costs, work-life balance, relationship difficulties, and the economic pressures facing households in a Pacific Northwest metro area. Washington's and Oregon's mental health systems are each accessible to Vancouver residents, giving the city's population an unusually broad range of in-person and telehealth options.
