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
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in trauma and PTSD, my treatment approach is rooted in compassion, safety, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive processing therapy (CPT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), I collaborate with individuals to process traumatic memories, challenge negative beliefs, and develop effective coping strategies. Creating a safe therapeutic environment is paramount, allowing clients to explore their experiences at their own pace while feeling supported and validated. Psychoeducation about trauma responses and self-regulation techniques empowers individuals to manage symptoms and regain a sense of control over their lives. Additionally, I integrate mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, and grounding exercises to promote emotional regulation and resilience. My goal is to facilitate healing, restore a sense of safety, and empower individuals to thrive beyond their traumatic experiences.

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.
