Dr. Jadah Petty
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Trauma is an experience that can impact nearly every aspect of someone's life, from relationships/trust, to work, to self-esteem, to mood and the list goes on. Finding someone who specializes in trauma/PTSD is essential to truly getting the help you need. I offer the gold standard treatments for PTSD (e.g. Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure), as well as treatments like EMDR and STAIR. Building a strong relationship is the first step to help you on your journey to re-engaging in the life you want to lead. I will then help you process your trauma, understand triggers, and develop new coping strategies for managing.

Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
There are three main types of trauma: Acute, Chronic, or Complex. Acute trauma results from a single incident. Chronic trauma is repeated and prolonged such as domestic violence or abuse. Complex trauma is exposure to varied and multiple traumatic events, often of an invasive, interpersonal nature. Sometimes people experience post traumatic responses to adverse childhood experiences, a single event or living as marginalized identities in our society. That is, some people experience trauma response by dealing with recurring microaggressions, discrimination, bullying from individuals, communities and macro aggressions such as systemic oppression. We need to consider the impact traumatic experiences have on our mind, body and overall experience as a human navigating uncertain and challenging times.

New Leaf Counseling and Wellness
Psychologist
Treating trauma and PTSD requires a comprehensive and compassionate approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as cognitive processing therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic experiencing, I work with clients to process and integrate traumatic memories in a supportive therapeutic environment. Through psychoeducation, skill-building, and experiential techniques, I help clients regain a sense of control over their lives while addressing symptoms such as hypervigilance, flashbacks, and avoidance. My specialized expertise enables me to tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs, fostering healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope for the future.
