Trauma and PTSD
Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma doesn’t always come from one big event—small, repeated experiences can quietly shape how safe, seen, or steady you feel in the world. In our work, we create a supportive space to notice these patterns, understand how they affect your relationships and sense of self, and gently foster healing. Approached with curiosity and care, you can find greater safety, insight, and self-understanding.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Narcissistic abuse and coercive control cause real, clinically significant trauma. Many of the mothers I work with have never been told this — they've been treated for anxiety or depression without anyone naming the source as relational trauma. The symptoms are real: intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, emotional flashbacks, difficulty trusting others, avoidance of anything that triggers memories of the relationship. Complex PTSD, which develops from prolonged exposure to psychological abuse rather than a single traumatic event, is especially common in survivors of narcissistic relationships. As a licensed psychologist with 30 years of clinical experience and advanced training in trauma, post-separation abuse, and narcissistic abuse recovery, I provide trauma-informed therapy specifically designed for mothers healing from relational trauma and complex PTSD. My approach addresses the trauma at its roots — not just the symptoms — using evidence-based methods tailored to the specific trauma patterns that narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships create.

Trauma and PTSD
Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma can leave lasting imprints—flashbacks, anxiety, emotional numbness, or a sense of being “stuck.” Healing begins with safety and understanding. In therapy, we’ll use evidence-based trauma approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, and DNMS to process and release painful memories at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll work toward restoring trust in yourself and the world, helping you feel more grounded, empowered, and whole.
