Trauma and PTSD
Gregory Smith
Counselor/Therapist, ALC (Associate Licensed Counselor), BCPC
Since trauma is at the root of PTSD and dissociation, I understand the effects that trauma has upon an individual. In the 1990's, I worked as a North Carolina Paramedic and experienced the effects that trauma can have upon an individual. Whether it is childhood traumas, military experience traumas, or any other unexpected experiences that the flight and fight response system was not an option, and therefore, the freeze response resulted in the trauma; healing requires various approaches. Being a pastor living overseas for 19 years ministering to American military stationed outside of the USA has given me many opportunities to minister to those affected by trauma. Often those who experienced traumatic experiences on more than one occasion develop complex PTSD with dissociation. My experience working with dissociative individuals is very beneficial when understanding and helping those with PTSD and sometime complex PTSD.

Joy Rabon
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT, CCTP, CIMHP
I have a special interest in working with trauma and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I have found that a significant percentage of clients seeking counseling have experienced some form of trauma. Trauma is often misunderstood, and ongoing research is expanding our understanding of its effects. I stay current with research on trauma, including childhood trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and chronic complex trauma, to better support clients seeking help.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
As a psychologist working with trauma, I utilize evidence-based treatments to help clients process and heal from their experiences. I often use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to assist clients in addressing and reframing the negative thought patterns and emotional responses associated with their trauma. This approach helps them develop coping strategies and gradually face and work through their traumatic memories. Additionally, I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to facilitate the processing of distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. My approach is empathetic and client-centered, ensuring that each individual feels supported and empowered throughout their recovery journey. By applying these evidence-based treatments, I aim to help clients regain a sense of safety and control, ultimately guiding them towards healing and resilience.

Trauma and PTSD
Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma is like a infected wound that sometimes the surface layer has healed, but the damage is still continuing within. An unhealed wound can often be reopened by different triggers, and the symptoms and patterns repeat again. As your therapist, my role is guide and help you affectively "clean" and "treat" the wound, so that it can stop the damage and heal properly.

Trauma and PTSD
Kayla Jarred
Psychologist, PsyD
Whether your experience of trauma is recent (acute) or long term (chronic), it is never to later to work your way through the impact that traumatic event had your life. Work to understand your reactions/responses to situations and then discover ways to overcome the negative impact the trauma had on your thinking, emotional responses, and other overwhelming experiences. Either through a structured program, or just through discussion, self-exploration, and skill building, pick your path and stride forward.
