Trauma and PTSD
Soaring Heart Center
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Bessel van der Kolk defines trauma as: any experience that overwhelms your ability to cope. Certainly life-threatening situations, like a car accident or serving in combat, count. So does consistently feeling unsafe at home because one of your parents would get violent sometimes, or worrying about where your next meal might come from. When you're faced with situations that overwhelm you, your psyche will do whatever it can to keep you alive, typically splitting itself apart in order to protect your sanity. Trouble is, after that initial overwhelm is over, you need to go back and repair that split. Otherwise, that scary, painful, overwhelming situation becomes something that haunts you. Recovery from trauma means going back and repairing those splits, and it's never too late to do it. So if you feel haunted by experiences from your past, find it hard to build meaningful relationships with others, or struggle with feeling afraid, schedule a consultation now.

Trauma and PTSD
Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
My background as a licensed psychologist and a trauma survivor uniquely positions me to offer compassionate and effective support to individuals who have experienced trauma, whether it be abandonment or physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. My personal journey through trauma has given me firsthand insight into the complex and often challenging process of healing. This, combined with my education and professional experience, enables me to approach therapy with deep empathy, understanding, and a genuine connection to my clients' experiences. I believe in the power of resilience and the potential for growth in the face of adversity, and I am dedicated to helping survivors on their path to recovery and empowerment.
With EMDR as my primary treatment modality, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise in guiding individuals towards trauma healing. My approach focuses on collaboratively identifying trauma targets for processing while also prioritizing resourcing techniques to reestablish a sense of safety and inner peace. Through EMDR therapy, I help clients transform the way traumatic memories are stored in the brain, ultimately freeing them from flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance patterns associated with trauma. My commitment is to support individuals on their journey to reclaim their lives and find lasting relief from the effects of trauma.
