Trauma and PTSD
Telespera Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor
When people hear "trauma" or "PTSD," they often think of major events like natural disasters or wars. However, symptoms of PTSD can arise from many other adverse experiences. Sometimes, it’s not just a single event but a series of challenges that sets PTSD in motion. Common symptoms include mood swings, feeling emotionally numb or disconnected, struggling in relationships, or having intense emotional reactions that don’t seem to match the situation.
It’s important to recognize that trauma affects everyone differently. For example, two people might experience the same event—like a car accident—but respond in completely different ways. One might bounce back quickly, while the other might need more time to heal. This range of responses is normal and valid.
Many people have encountered some form of trauma, though it can help to think of these experiences as “speed bumps” rather than defining them solely as trauma. Like speed bumps on the road, these moments encourage us to slow down, reassess, and move forward with care. Even when they catch us off guard or cause pain, they don’t have to stop us entirely.
The good news is that advances in therapeutic techniques have made recovery from trauma more accessible, faster, and more comfortable than ever before. By addressing the lingering effects and understanding individual responses, healing becomes not only possible but empowering.

Trauma and PTSD
Brad Croyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship or family issues as well as a host of other related issues and use EMDR to treat these problems. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing them that helps you get your life back. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor presently. We will work on your past directly so you can gain perspective and make needed changes allowing you to move beyond it once and for all. Our goal is to make lasting and desired changes to promote healthy relationships and positive interactions.
I also specialize in Religious Trauma for those who have suffered trauma within Religion or Church in a variety of contexts.

Trauma and PTSD
Stephanie Ennen
Therapist, LPC,LCPC, LMHC
I specialize in providing compassionate support for individuals coping with trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I understand that trauma can have a profound impact on your emotional and psychological well-being, often leading to feelings of anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness.
In our sessions, we will create a safe and supportive environment where you can share your experiences at your own pace. Utilizing Trauma-Informed Care principles, I prioritize your sense of safety and empowerment throughout the therapeutic process.
I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you process traumatic memories and reduce the distress associated with them. Together, we will work on reframing negative thought patterns and developing healthier coping strategies.
Mindfulness techniques and relaxation exercises may also be integrated into our work to help you manage anxiety and cultivate a sense of calm. These practices can assist you in grounding yourself and enhancing emotional regulation.
A vital part of our therapy will involve psychoeducation. Understanding the effects of trauma and PTSD can empower you to recognize your reactions and navigate your healing journey more effectively. We will work together to develop a personalized plan that addresses your unique needs and goals.
My aim is to provide a safe space where you can heal and reclaim your life. Together, we can work towards fostering resilience, enhancing your sense of safety, and building a brighter future.
