The impact of a single, traumatic event or experiencing an environment that provides a chronic sense of danger can have a debilitating effect on how we view the world and how we function in it.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop in individuals who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. Trauma, broadly defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience, can have lasting effects on one's emotional and psychological well-being. Common sources of trauma leading to PTSD include but are not limited to, combat exposure, sexual assault, accidents, or natural disasters. Symptoms of PTSD often manifest as intrusive memories, nightmares, heightened arousal, avoidance of reminders, and negative changes in mood and cognition. Trauma affects individuals differently, and while some may recover naturally over time, others may need therapeutic intervention. Effective treatments for PTSD include various forms of psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), as well as medications that target specific symptoms. Recognizing and addressing trauma is crucial for promoting healing and restoring a sense of safety and well-being.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a psychologist specializing in the full range of trauma, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reinforce a sense of safety, control, and worthiness. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our nervous system is forced to adapt in extreme and overwhelming situations, and how those adaptations can be reinforced or blocked by our relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.

Abby Cobey
Psychologist, PsyD
Treatment for trauma and PTSD is really hard. It doesn't feel good to remember the things we most want to forget and unfortunately there is no easy way to heal. You've likely already discovered that avoidance won't work. What we will work on together is feeling the feelings in session so that they are less likely to creep up on you when you don't expect or want them. We'll look at your thinking surrounding the event and how your thinking has changed over time. It will get better.
