Have you experienced a disturbing event? Recent and complex traumas can create fear, overthinking and difficulty sleeping. It can disrupt your self-worth, work and relationships. For 25+ years I've worked with survivors of trauma including rape, incest, attachment wounds, 9/11, natural disasters and school shootings. It's important to have a therapist who is nurturing, nonjudgmental and supportive on your healing journey. I have the expertise to help you stabilize to safely process the traumatic memories using several evidence-based therapy techniques, including DBT , CBT and EMDR. You can move forward in your life. You are not your trauma and you don't have to continue to suffer on your own. Our work together will help you to feel regulated and less triggered.

Kalin Palmer, Healing Connections Therapy LLC
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LMHC, LPC
Trauma responses are my jam - as an EMDR therapist, my primary goal is to help clients lower emotional responses to trauma and reprocess any information that was learned in an unhealthy or unhelpful way. EMDR allows clients to share only limited details of traumatic events while left-right movements help the brain to heal naturally. We will work together on helping you take control of how you can handle triggers, trauma responses, and overall mental and emotional health as a survivor of trauma.

Lauren A. Matos
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MCAP
Living with traumatic memories and PTSD can feel like a constant battle, where past experiences intrude on the present, making it difficult to find peace or feel safe. Over the last 10 years, I have used EMDR therapy to help clients process and reframe these painful memories, working to reduce the emotional impact that trauma has on their lives. EMDR provides a structured approach to healing, enabling clients to desensitize distressing memories in a way that feels safe and controlled. Together, we work through these memories gradually, fostering resilience and empowering clients to reclaim control over their emotions and responses. With EMDR, my goal is to support clients in breaking free from the grip of trauma, helping them rebuild their lives with renewed strength, hope, and confidence.

Jenn Zatopek
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, EMDR
I'm a trauma specialist, and I use EMDR and mindfulness to help you heal from past pain. EMDR helps to unlock the trauma from the nervous system, but I don't start out doing EMDR. I start out doing a lot of resourcing and grounding to help you feel safe inside your own skin. Then when you are ready to begin processing we can do so.
