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
Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
I have worked with clients who have been traumatized as a child, teenager, adult or older adult. Trauma can occur due to emotional, physical, sexual or psychological assault. Everyone experiences and manages their trauma exposure in their own unique way. Sometimes we are not even aware of events that have happened to us or have spent a lifetime trying not to remember. Regardless, that experience can impact how we think about and treat ourselves and others. Depending on the severity and duration of that trauma, it is not uncommon for it to affect our ability to work, parent, maintain relationships, function and even tolerate being around others. I work with clients who have experienced physical and psychological abuse, sexual abuse or exploitation, combat or military trauma, racism, discrimination and marginalization, sexism and violence. Everyone's story is unique and I work to help that individual process those experiences at a pace that they can manage to reclaim the life they deserve.

Andrea Barbour
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, PhD(ABD)
Trauma is defined as any experience in which we are overwhelmed and alone. So it is a much broader experience than we might realize. Because of my extensive experience, I am able to help you process and recover from any trauma, whether it's a single event (like a car accident), chronic (as in childhood abusive of any kind or domestic violence) even if you're trauma is relational rather than physical it's important to take steps to heal so that you can move into a rich and full life without fear.

Trauma and PTSD
Rick Rodgers
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC, CCTP, RYT 500
Trauma can leave us trapped in a perpetual "fight, flight, or freeze" state, 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 or 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.
