Trauma and PTSD
Mark Flanagan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MPH, MA
Trauma can irrevocably change our life. There is the time before the trauma and the time after it. We are changed, different, in some deep and lasting way. If we are in a profession or life circumstance that puts us in contact with repeated traumas, the effects ca be cumulative, slowly chipping away at our ability to live a full and meaningful life. I am fully trained in brainspotting, an effective tool for dealing with images, sensations and troubling thoughts associated with trauma. Trauma is an internal wound that needs healing, but often cannot heal on its own. I can help you navigate the difficulty of trauma, help resolve much of the negative effects and take steps into a new life, perhaps different than before, but with the hope of joy, peace and wholeness.

Tomeki Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, NCC, LPC
Traumatic events often leave a lasting imprint on your life. Sometimes emotional healing from trauma can occur somewhat naturally, as life goes on. At other times, trauma leaves a more indelible impression on a person’s life by causing frequent bouts of emotional distress, impaired judgement, and even physiological symptoms. I employ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, a form of psychotherapy developed for and scientifically proven to help people suffering from the effects of trauma and PTSD.

Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Trauma and PTSD, especially C-PTSD, includes any emotional experience that was upsetting and different than you had experienced up to that point in your life. C-PTSD often involves parental neglect, unavailability, or inconsistency. I am not one of the therapists who will tell you that you need to forgive and rebuild your relationsihp with anyone you choose not to have in your life. The idea that people should continue to endure mistreatment simply because someone is family is absurd. Of course, trauma and PTSD can include experiencing or witnessing any type of violence, abuse, accidents, or the threats of violence or abuse. Trauma has been my specialty since the beginning of my career and I have taken extensive training on the treatment of trauma. More importantly than if I am qualified to treat you for upsetting or traumatic past experiences is the fact that I will never minimize your experiences. Please do not avoid going to therapy because you think what you experienced was "not that bad." If it was upsetting to you when it happened and it still affects your life in any way I want to help you reduce or eliminate the impact of those experiences on your present day and future life.
