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.

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.

Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trauma can shape how you see yourself, relate to others, and experience safety in the world. I work with adults navigating complex, developmental, relational, medical, racial, and other forms of trauma. My trauma-informed approach helps clients better understand adaptive survival responses, strengthen emotional resilience, and move toward healing at a pace that feels safe and collaborative.

Ivan Canzek
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner
Trauma and PTSD
Trauma can leave a person feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or stuck in survival patterns long after the difficult experience has passed. I support clients in gently exploring these patterns, building nervous system regulation, and restoring a greater sense of safety, stability, and connection with themselves and others.

Danielle Thurman (Roots and Wings Family Therapy)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) are highly effective approaches for supporting individuals with trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder by addressing both relational wounds and internal emotional experiences. EFT helps individuals identify and transform patterns rooted in fear, disconnection, and attachment injuries, creating a sense of safety and secure connection that is essential for trauma healing. These corrective emotional experiences can reduce hyperarousal and help regulate the nervous system. At the same time, IFS supports individuals in gently exploring and understanding the parts of themselves that carry traumatic memories, shame, or protective responses such as avoidance or hypervigilance. By fostering compassion and self-leadership, IFS allows these parts to be witnessed and healed without overwhelming the individual. Together, EFT and IFS create a safe internal and external environment that promotes integration, resilience, and a renewed sense of stability after trauma.
