PTSD/Trauma
Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
My understanding of trauma has shifted along with international research on why some events create lasting challenging effects for some people but not for others. Our collective awareness has gone from thinking, “What's wrong with you?” to asking, “What happened to you?” and now focusing on, “Who was there for you?”
A simple retelling of a traumatic experience does not always deeply heal the one who suffers. While it can feel good to be truly heard, especially for those who have never told it before and need real empathy, repeatedly telling the story does not often change the subconscious beliefs implanted during the trauma or the nervous system’s reactivity.
Instead, we build a new relationship with a traumatic experience by re-approaching the memory and inviting a shift. Often the shift is around “Who could have been there for you.” While in factual reality, no one may have stopped the trauma, we can access another perspective that enables our bodies, hearts, and minds to feel supported. We can do this many ways: through role play, through calling in ancestors or pop stars or our highest selves, or by letting our wise adult-self take over the situation. Or we may use drawing materials or nature to discover a new part of the experience we didn’t realize before.
I've taken many trainings in the origins and effects of trauma and PTSD, and I find working with the nervous system and imaginal realm (creative liminal space) highly effective. I'm not a licensed mental health therapist; I'm a spiritual life coach, so my work is integrative. I offer: calm spaciousness & empathy as you talk, embodied processing options (drawing, clay work, self soothing), and inner parts work (mediated inner dialogue or a “committee of voices,” similar to Soulwork or Internal Family Systems).
Then we make a plan to implement the new shift into everyday life.

Kinnari Birla
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Traumatic experiences can have lasting effects on emotional, physical, and psychological well-being. Whether the trauma stems from a single event or ongoing experiences, it can lead to symptoms such as intrusive memories, heightened anxiety, difficulty trusting others, emotional numbness, sleep disturbances, irritability, or feeling constantly on edge. Healing is possible with the right support.
At Elvive Psychological Services, we provide compassionate, trauma-informed care for children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced trauma or are living with post-traumatic stress. Our clinicians create a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where clients can process difficult experiences at their own pace while developing healthy coping strategies and building resilience.
Using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, we help clients better understand the impact of trauma, reduce distressing symptoms, strengthen emotional regulation, and reconnect with a sense of safety and control. Our goal is to empower clients to move beyond surviving and toward healing, growth, and a more meaningful, fulfilling life.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
My hypnotic formula is trauma-sensitive. I work with men and women experiencing a full spectrum of symptoms of chronic trauma and abuse. We use a variety of frameworks to process, heal and move on in life, so that you are finally comfortable in our own skin. Ultimately, we reset your nervous system, give you the tools to emotional regulation, and progam in a pathway to safety, at all times. We get there by first looking at the symptoms you are experiencing, and the associated beliefs and emotions, then reframe them with healthier and desired alternatives, while defining your new goals. We may use a hypnotic regression to allow the inner child to confront their antagonist and finally emotionally release what's been held back and suppressed for too long. Once this happens, there is a chance to forgive (if this is appropriate and/or available to you), along with a beautiful formula where we reach a core state of love, reprocess and reframe the unwanted programming, and grow the child up to a healthy and mature adult. Throughout the process, I also provide coping skills like tapping to use in the event there is a shame or trigger spiral. I train you in the breathwork technique that can change your chemical makeup from dread or fear to an elevated, inspired state. Most clients experience release and reach a state of inner peace by the third session.
