Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Chiara Simeone-DiFrancesco
Psychologist, PhD
I am very sensitive to person's trauma and making therapy a "safe spot" for them. In addition, we work together to help understand the effects of the trauma on your life and on your relationships. People with trauma also confuse those around them, and it is not their fault. The trauma is like a bucket of ice water, and it splashes up and hits you and your relationships. I'll help you learn to carry that ice-bucket together and start to melt the ice. We have many ways in psychology to address trauma, and together we will explore the interventions that are intune with you. Trauma is not always only in your "brain/head". Your body can hold trauma in many ways that can confuse you (especially regarding intimacy), including ways that are bound to confuse your mate. I'd love to help you overcome it! Schema Therapy uses tools that are very safe and tested, including building up your strength resources and learning how to soothe/calm activation of bad memories. I hope and pray you reach out to a therapist and invest in yourself to overcome whatever you have gone through.

Amanda Ruechel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
When we experience trauma ( a distressing experience), our minds and our bodies are trying their best to just survive every day. When our trauma is not processed and healed, it shows up in our lives and can look like: overwhelm, flashbacks, anger, troubles sleeping, difficulties with concentration, and feeling out of touch with your body. Wildflower Mental Wellness can help support you by processing your trauma to help you reduce your PTSD symptoms.

Chuck Gray, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Rather than limit counseling to only one approach, I offer my clients what I think is best specifically for them from a wide array of expert approaches in my marriage and other counseling. In addition to leading seminars to train other professionals in marriage counseling, I have benefited by receiving extensive professional training from most of the leading marriage counseling experts in the country, including but not limited to John Gottman, Susan Johnson, John Gray, Harville Hendrix, Virginia Satyr, Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Gary Brainard, Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, Janice Abrahms Spring, and Neil Jacobson. In conducting counseling, I am fortunate to be able to choose from numerous resources including principles from Gottman's research, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mars & Venus Counseling, Imago Therapy, Positive Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Systems Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Gestalt Techniques, NLP, and EMDR. I also offer counseling tools that I personally developed here in Houston.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
My background as a licensed psychologist and a trauma survivor uniquely positions me to offer compassionate and effective support to individuals who have experienced trauma, whether it be abandonment or physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. My personal journey through trauma has given me firsthand insight into the complex and often challenging process of healing. This, combined with my education and professional experience, enables me to approach therapy with deep empathy, understanding, and a genuine connection to my clients' experiences. I believe in the power of resilience and the potential for growth in the face of adversity, and I am dedicated to helping survivors on their path to recovery and empowerment.
With EMDR as my primary treatment modality, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise in guiding individuals towards trauma healing. My approach focuses on collaboratively identifying trauma targets for processing while also prioritizing resourcing techniques to reestablish a sense of safety and inner peace. Through EMDR therapy, I help clients transform the way traumatic memories are stored in the brain, ultimately freeing them from flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance patterns associated with trauma. My commitment is to support individuals on their journey to reclaim their lives and find lasting relief from the effects of trauma.
