Trauma and PTSD
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.

Instances of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse are coming to light as more and more people become willing to stand and say "no more". Treatment for the emotional and mental health aftermath of these expereinces is best done with evidence based therapy. Dr. Randa is experienced in treating PTSD and Acute Stress Disorders utilizing evidence based therapies of Cognitive Processing Therapy and EMDR.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

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.
