Trauma and PTSD
Alyssa Kushner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma is the lasting response that impacts you psychologically, emotionally, and physically after a distressing event. Complex trauma comes from multiple exposures to various traumas over time. Both can impact your nervous system and body’s ability to cope and regulate. Trauma can play a major role in why you behave, think, and feel the way you do. I will bring body-up somatic approaches first to make sure you have the resources and skills to talk about and heal trauma. We will work together to learn what your trauma responses look like and have ways to get back into a state of safety. I also prioritize and understand the importance of having a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship first - before opening up. I bring a trauma-first, somatic, and holistic lens. I am also trained in EMDR and can use as part of the treatment plan if needed.

Kris O'Shee
Counselor/Therapist, MA in Counseling Psychology, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I am certified in the treatment of Trauma and PTSD from the Center for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington, DC. I have traveled to war-torn countries working with refugees and medical teams helping to alleviate the mental suffering caused by the shock and horror of war. And while most of us have not been in war zones, we can experience similar effects on our nervous systems caused by early childhood abuse, domestic violence, or the sudden death of a loved one. We can go through frightening panic attacks and have what can feel like inexplicable anxiety. We now know how the body responds to stress and what tools are useful in alleviating its effects on our lives. Meditation, movement, drawing, visualization, and guided imagery are some of the approaches which I have found to be helpful in calming the nervous system and restoring more balance to our mental and physical lives; in a sense, getting our lives back. I want to help you in this healing process and to give you the tools you can then implement, on your own, in order to have more stability and inner peace.

Dr. Wayne Bullock
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd
As you move through life, you might go through an experience that is overwhelming to you. Trauma is the result of an experience so distressing that it leaves you feeling disconnected from yourself and others. You might feel jumpy, numb, distrusting, and unsure of your future. Sharing and processing with someone who can help you to understand and make sense of the senseless can help you to begin to heal from your trauma.

Alison Huang - Grow Your Mind Psychotherapy
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." We can't change what happened to us, but we can change how we respond to trauma. I am a trauma-informed therapist who specialized in treating people with trauma history. I was trained in strengths-based trauma recovery and somatic experiencing to help clients release their traumatic responses, regulate their physical responses, and connect their body and mind.
