Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
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.
