Trauma and PTSD
Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Trauma and PTSD exist because of explicit and implicit memory of events that are out of the ordinary. Therapy explores the connection to both in a safe environment. Symptoms arise from these experiences that can be debilitating and exhausting. Sorting out these connections lead to healing.

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
Perez Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Treatment for PTSD often involves trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), where individuals process traumatic memories and develop healthier coping strategies. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is another effective approach, helping patients reprocess traumatic events and reduce emotional distress.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Sven Schild
Psychologist, PhD, SEP, TCC
My approach to working with trauma and PTSD involves integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). ACT helps clients accept their traumatic experiences and related emotions without judgment, fostering psychological flexibility and resilience. EMDR is used to process and resolve traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact and allowing clients to reframe their experiences in a healthier way. SE addresses the physiological effects of trauma, helping clients release stored tension and restore a sense of balance and safety in their bodies. This holistic approach supports clients in healing from trauma, reducing PTSD symptoms, and enhancing their overall well-being.

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.

Trauma and PTSD
Christin Frederick
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
You might be feeling the effects of interpersonal trauma, which occurs when we are deeply hurt by someone else's actions. This type of trauma can stem from experiences such as child abuse and neglect, witnessing domestic violence, living in high-conflict environments, intimate partner violence, or bullying.
While we all encounter pain caused by others at some point, it doesn't always lead to lasting negative effects. However, if our ability to escape, fight back, or cope with these painful experiences is limited, the impact can be long-lasting. Often, the effects of these traumatic events remain hidden until we struggle to maintain healthy relationships.
If you are feeling frustrated and unsuccessful in your relationships, whether it's with friends, in your marriage, or in your role as a parent, we are here to help. We can guide you through the confusion and help you build thriving, successful relationships.
We treat trauma-related symptoms using an integrative approach that may include resetting the social engagement system through mindfulness, somatic processing, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
