Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Lisa C. Holder
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
The affects of trauma can be debilitating and long lasting. Sometimes it is invisible to others as it is buried deep in the body and nervous system causing problems in relationships, health, and self esteem. Trauma and PTSD can be triggered out of seemingly nowhere and when we least expect it, or it can be an ongoing daily interference to a happy life. I have over 25 years of experience treating trauma in its various forms such as abuse, war, and accidents to name just a few. I use an eclectic approach including EMDR and Somatic therapies. If you are struggling with any type of traumatic experience I’d love to help you!

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
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.
