Trauma and PTSD
Helping to Heal Counseling Services, LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Many individuals will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster. While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or post-traumatic stress far after the event has passed. In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.

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.

Brad Croyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship or family issues as well as a host of other related issues and use EMDR to treat these problems. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing them that helps you get your life back. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor presently. We will work on your past directly so you can gain perspective and make needed changes allowing you to move beyond it once and for all. Our goal is to make lasting and desired changes to promote healthy relationships and positive interactions.

Trauma and PTSD
Rena Diamond
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC, NCC, CCH
Traumatic experiences can occur at any point in the lifespan, and be acute, chronic, or complex. Humans are inherently deeply resilient, yet without treatment, the aftereffects of trauma can last for years, causing physical or emotional symptoms, impacting our sense of safety in the world, and influencing our relationships in unpredictable ways.

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.
