Trauma and PTSD
Suzanne Greene
Marriage and Family Therapist, JD, MA, LMFT, CCTP, CAGCS
Most people have experienced a form of trauma at one point in their life. Trauma can stem from a variety of events and circumstances at any age. These events may include abandonment, bullying, experiencing or witnessing acts of violence, a health diagnosis, and emotional, physical or sexual abuse. Symptoms may include anxiety, depression, destructive behaviors, sleep disturbances, and withdrawal. Psychotherapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for trauma. As a certified clinical trauma therapist, I will work with you to help you understand how the trauma has impacted your life, as well as the effect on your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. In therapy you will feel heard and protected as you process your emotions and memories. The goal of trauma focused therapy is to show you that you have control of your life, not your past experience. You are more than your trauma and your narrative can change.

Sean Sprigle

I have recovered my own trauma prior to becoming a trauma specialist. I suffered from PTSD my entire life without knowing what was wrong with me, but I don’t live with PTSD anymore. I am no longer traumatized and I can help you get there as well.

Trauma and PTSD
Ross Kellogg, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Single event trauma and long-term developmental trauma in childhood can each be overwhelming experiences that bring about an overwhelming set of symptoms that often end in a lot of isolation for the traumatized person. Therapy can help you re-engage with people and life again. A multi modality approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy couples with Object Relations Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy can often be an effective method for managing symptoms, getting back to feeling good, and accepting the full impact and meaning of the traumatic event(s).

Trauma and PTSD
Tim Eby-McKenzie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Most of my clinical career has focused on finding more efficient and effective ways to address, understand and heal the impact of trauma in people's lives. Acute Stress Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are two ways trauma manifests in people's lives when trauma gets "stuck" in the nervous system, and cannot resolve effectively and adaptively. I use EMDR to assist clients to overcome this "stuckness" and to move forward into healthier lives.

Trauma and PTSD
Juliet Baxter
Therapist, AMFT
As a somatic therapist, my view is that working with the body and the nervous system is key to working with trauma. Trauma is an overwhelming event that the body holds onto because it could not be processed at the time. That is why the body must be included in the recovery.

Trauma and PTSD
Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Trauma is what happens when we experience something that is overwhelming or life-threatening. Sexual or physical abuse, neglect, accidents, natural disasters, crime, loss of loved ones... All of these things can leave a mark. Our brain responds to trauma the way it has for thousands and thousands of years. And while that helped us survive in more primitive times, today it can leave us unable to function, riddled with fear and anxiety, avoiding the very things that used to bring us pleasure. At its worse, trauma becomes Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. The good news is that the field of psychology, through the use of brain imaging, has developed powerful treatment approaches to the resolution of trauma and PTSD. The field of Somatic Psychology has been a hotbed for the development of effective treatments including EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, and Sensori-Motor Psychotherapy. With 25 years of experience, training in many of these approaches, and both an MA and Ph.D. in Somatic Psychology, I am eager to help you recover from the devastating impact of trauma.

Trauma and PTSD
Amy Childers
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Trauma refers to an emotional response to a distressing or disturbing event, often involving feelings of fear, helplessness, or horror. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms can include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event, which persist over time and interfere with daily life. Treatment typically involves therapy, medication, or a combination of both, aimed at reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.

Trauma and PTSD
Jessi Blank
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
As a trained and certified integrative somatic trauma therapist, I help clients with history of trauma and PTSD learn how to better move through their various traumas by imploring a "bottom up" method. I start to familiarize my clients with their bodies- teaching them that the body (soma) holds memory of trauma before the brain conceptualizes it. I allow my clients to become familiar with the language of their body by exploring the various sensations they notice and how different stressors show up in their body. I help my clients to become more empowered by helping them map out their nervous system states, making them feel a bit more in control of their own process towards healing the residue that trauma often leaves behind.

Trauma and PTSD
Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
We live in a world where traumatic experiences are all too common. Frightening and even life-threatening events happen around us and may even invade a person's life; we call these experiences "shock trauma." Many people have also experienced "developmental trauma," when every day of growing up they faced intensely difficult circumstances. Trauma and PTSD take a terrible toll on a person's mental and emotional health and wellbeing. Generally speaking, it doesn't just go away on it's own; it requires treatment. I am here to help, and would be happy to answer any questions you have.

Trauma and PTSD
Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I haven't met a client who couldn't benefit from some degree of healing from trauma, whether relational, developmental, systemic, big T, complex trauma, PTSD... we all carry trauma in varying degrees until we're able to integrate it. My work is trauma informed, with a foundation in somatic psychotherapy which is needed for lasting results - trauma impacts the body as well as the brain. If you ignore the body in therapy the thoughts and emotions may improve for a time, but the patterns of constriction that impact the body will remain and sooner or later the distressing thoughts and emotions will return. I also draw on EMDR, neurobiology, energy psychology, self-compassion, mindfulness and other modalities. My work is compassionate yet direct and results driven.

Trauma and PTSD
Heather Marriatori
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma is an emotional and psychological response to an event. This event could be something you experienced personally or something you witnessed. Your experience could include shock, denial, unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, nightmares, strained relationships and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea. There is no reason to continue experiencing this alone. Contact me and we can discuss ways to get feeling like you're back in control and no longer suffering.
