Alicia Polk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CCTP-II
PTSD does not have to be a lifetime condition. I offer Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based therapy which can resolve PTSD in an average of 12 sessions. Some people are hesitant to try therapy for their trauma or PTSD because they, understandably, don't want to talk about and relive the details of their trauma. The good news is that with CPT, you aren't asked to do this! The therapy focuses entirely on what you believe about the trauma, that is what you believe about why it happened and what it means about you and the world. I'm sure you have questions, so contact me to arrange for a free 15-minute telehealth (video) consultation. It's a good way for you to see if you might feel comfortable working with me.

Neona Russ
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
I work with clients that have experienced trauma or have been diagnosed with PTSD. In my treatment we begin by creating a safe space to discuss the events of the trauma/PTSD after we explore coping strategies to lower the temperature of the reactivity. It is important to learn how trauma changes our neurobiology - neuropathways - and why the first steps to treatment are forming a strong therapeutic alliance and building a toolbox full of coping strategies, including grounding and deep breathing, to create the necessary foundation to begin the process of healing.

Carmalyn Lashley
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As an EMDR trained therapist, I use a research-backed therapy approach that has been shown to be effective in treating trauma and PTSD. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and it works by helping the brain reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and controlled environment. During an EMDR session, I guide my clients through a structured process that involves recalling traumatic memories while simultaneously using bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones). This helps to reduce the intensity of the traumatic memory and allows the brain to process it in a way that is less distressing. With continued EMDR therapy, clients often report a reduction in PTSD symptoms, anxiety, and depression. My goal as an EMDR therapist is to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can work through their trauma and move towards healing and recovery.

Larry Nussbaum, LIFE JOURNEY CENTEER
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LSCSW
Six years of experience working In The Med Gruop Counseling Center of an Air Force Base helped me improve my skills and training related to trauma and PTSD. Many years of working with young children and adult children who have experienced emotional and sexual abuse has also increased my knowledge base. Even if you don't have a diagnosed case of PTSD we can learn a lot from of the ingenious human coping mechanisms involved.
