Trauma and PTSD
Kimberly LaFollette
Psychologist, Psy.D., CIMHP
Trauma comes in many different forms. For some, it's a one time traumatic event, for others, it's a lifetime of chronic stress and trauma. Whatever the cause of your trauma and stress, I will work with you to process the event(s) that have caused you distress. We will then work together to learn natural, alternative ways to reduce your symptoms.

Trauma and PTSD
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In assisting patients struggling with trauma and PTSD, I offer a compassionate and supportive environment to explore their experiences. Through therapy, we address the impact of trauma on their emotions, behaviors, and relationships. I provide education about trauma responses and coping mechanisms, helping them develop strategies to manage symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance. Together, we work towards processing and integrating their traumatic experiences, fostering healing, resilience, and a sense of empowerment. Ongoing support and therapy aim to facilitate their journey towards recovery and improved well-being.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Experiencing trauma/PTSD can really affect people with addictions, relationship problems, or depression. For example, someone who's been through a tough experience might start using drugs or alcohol to cope. Trauma/PTSD can also make relationships harder and can make depression worse. To help someone dealing with this concern, I'd create a caring environment, listen to them, and suggest healthy ways to cope.

Trauma and PTSD
Rick Rodgers
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC, CCTP, RYT 500
Trauma can leave us feeling trapped in a perpetual state of "fight, flight, or freeze," our bodies and minds reacting to unseen threats, our emotions a swirling vortex of fear, anxiety, and overwhelm. The past intrudes on the present, not as a memory, but as a visceral reaction, a surge of adrenaline, a tightening in the chest, a knot in the stomach. It can feel like you're forever on guard, unable to fully relax, unable to truly inhabit your own body.
But healing is possible. I can help you soothe your nervous system, reprocess traumatic memories, and reclaim a sense of safety and agency in your own life. Through trauma-informed therapy and somatic practices, we'll gently address the lingering effects of trauma, helping you to regulate your emotions, cultivate resilience, and rediscover your innate capacity for joy and connection. You are not defined by your trauma. You are a warrior, and I'm here to help you find your way back to wholeness.
