Toi Bowers, LSW
Counselor/Therapist, LSW
Sometimes bad things happen, and trauma can affect many parts of your life. Trauma is when something really scary or hurtful happens, and it can change how you feel and think. It can make you feel anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed. When we experience trauma, our bodies and minds remember it in ways that can make us feel on edge, even when we’re safe.
If you’re struggling with trauma or PTSD, you’re not alone—I’m here to help. It’s normal to feel a mix of emotions like fear, sadness, or anger. In our counseling sessions, we’ll create a safe space where you can talk about your experiences and feelings at your own pace. Together, we’ll work to understand how trauma has affected you and find ways to help you heal and move forward. With support, you can start to feel better, build strength, and find hope for the future.

Stephanie Ennen
Therapist, LPC,LCPC, LMHC
I specialize in providing compassionate support for individuals coping with trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I understand that trauma can have a profound impact on your emotional and psychological well-being, often leading to feelings of anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness.
In our sessions, we will create a safe and supportive environment where you can share your experiences at your own pace. Utilizing Trauma-Informed Care principles, I prioritize your sense of safety and empowerment throughout the therapeutic process.
I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you process traumatic memories and reduce the distress associated with them. Together, we will work on reframing negative thought patterns and developing healthier coping strategies.
Mindfulness techniques and relaxation exercises may also be integrated into our work to help you manage anxiety and cultivate a sense of calm. These practices can assist you in grounding yourself and enhancing emotional regulation.
A vital part of our therapy will involve psychoeducation. Understanding the effects of trauma and PTSD can empower you to recognize your reactions and navigate your healing journey more effectively. We will work together to develop a personalized plan that addresses your unique needs and goals.
My aim is to provide a safe space where you can heal and reclaim your life. Together, we can work towards fostering resilience, enhancing your sense of safety, and building a brighter future.

Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
Trauma is not about an event, but about the impact it has on you. It is a wound of the body and mind that hasn't healed or keeps getting reopened when you are triggered. You may have suffered a single event trauma (like a car accident, assault, or death of a loved one) or a series of painful incidents (like being abused as a child or as an adult or longstanding struggles in your academic or career endeavors or friendships). I can help you process what happened and stop feeling haunted or stuck by your past and live more fully and confidently in your present. In addition to regular talk therapy, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an effective and well-researched treatment for PTSD and trauma, as well as somatic movement, expressive arts, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment, and attachment-focused therapies to help my clients heal and transform.

Danielle Keys at Headway
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S.ED, LCPC
Trauma is sometimes unknown or related to a specific event in one's life. During the assessment, you'll be asked specific questions in order to capture if there is trauma known in your life. Sometimes trauma is carried around through no fault of the client, however, the client has to choose to do something about it. I use Person-Centered, Dialectical Behavior, or Trauma-Focused CBT approaches with clients. The goal is to help client's express themselves without judgement, to be heard, validated, and encouraged to make choices to minimize and accept certain types of distress.

Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
The impact of a single, traumatic event or experiencing an environment that provides a chronic sense of danger can have a debilitating effect on how we view the world and how we function in it. Through therapy, we'll identify how your experiences of trauma are manifested in your body and thoughts, and work on improving upon your awareness of triggers and improving coping behaviors.
