Trauma and PTSD
Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with individuals who have experienced trauma and its lasting emotional, psychological, and physiological effects. With extensive clinical experience treating trauma across community mental health and private practice settings, I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how trauma impacts the brain, body, and nervous system. I also help clients learn how to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, building skills to reduce reactivity, increase grounding, and restore a sense of internal safety. Together, we process traumatic experiences at a safe pace while strengthening emotional regulation and resilience. My approach is compassionate, structured, and trauma-informed, supporting clients as they move toward healing and integration.

Trauma and PTSD
Megan Anderson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Therapist & A Couch is a space rooted in the belief that every part of you belongs. Many people who walk through my door are navigating all types of trauma alongside varying degrees of fear, hurt, disappointment, sadness, or depression. These struggles often point to deeper questions about why we hurt the way we do, what our pain may be trying to illuminate about our lives or relationship with others, and what it takes to feel alive in the world again.
No matter the story someone arrives with, the diagnoses they may carry, or the identities they may hold, we begin with the core human experiences that connect us all — our wishes, fears, wounds, conflicts, patterns, walking contradictions...our messiness. Within these places live the quiet truths that shape who we are. Together, we gently sift through what’s been heavy so you can feel lighter, freer, and more whole.

Trauma and PTSD
Kimberly Zacher
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC, SAC
Trauma can leave lasting imprints on the body, mind, and nervous system, affecting how you feel, relate, and respond to the world around you. Post-traumatic stress may involve flashbacks, anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or difficulty feeling safe. I provide a trauma-informed, compassionate approach to help you process what happened without retraumatization. Using modalities such as EMDR, somatic therapy, sensorimotor treatment, and parts work, we focus on restoring a sense of safety, connection, and control. Healing from trauma is possible, and you do not have to go through it alone.

Trauma and PTSD
Sarayu Meraki
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NARM Master Therapist
Complex trauma lives in the patterns in how you relate to yourself, your body, your needs, and other people. You may notice self-pressure, shame, self-abandonment, relational fear, perfectionism, shutdown, or the feeling that you have to earn connection by becoming easier, smaller, or more useful. In therapy, we do not treat these patterns as proof that something is wrong with you. We get curious about how they helped you survive. My work is depth-oriented and relational, focusing on agency, self-trust, and present-moment experience. Healing is not about forcing yourself to move on. It is about understanding the ways you had to leave yourself, honoring the intelligence of your adaptations, and slowly building the capacity to reconnect with whatever matters most to you.
