Trauma and PTSD
William Munze
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CPC, NCC
Trauma can profoundly impact our lives, affecting our emotional, mental, and physical well-being. It can lead to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, and hypervigilance. Trauma often disrupts relationships, self-esteem, and one's ability to function in daily life. Additionally, it can manifest physically, causing chronic pain, fatigue, and other health issues.
Psychotherapy for trauma often involves techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is particularly effective for processing traumatic memories very quickly. This method can reduce the emotional impact of traumatic events and alleviate symptoms of PTSD. Through psychotherapy, my clients can also develop healthier coping mechanisms and improve their overall mental health. This comprehensive approach aims to foster healing and resilience in those affected by trauma.

Trauma and PTSD
Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
A trauma-informed approach underlies all of my work as a therapist. I know that many clients come to therapy not specifically because of trauma, but because they feel lonely or inadequate, they are depressed or anxious, or just cannot seem to have the intimacy they crave. Sometimes acknowledging trauma comes later in the therapy work and that is okay. Just know that I trust that you will talk about it when you are ready.
I would like to join you in acknowledging how the past has affected your present and in charting a course to healing that works for you. You may wish to talk about particular pains from the past and you may wish to focus on the future. We will work together to find the balance that is right for you, so that you can live the life that you really want to live.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Abrielle Conway, Rooted in Grace Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
I've been working with trauma survivors since prior to graduate school, beginning in 2004. While I have experience in treating a wide range of traumatic related symptoms, I've found that I'm most effective in treating first responders (healthcare workers, police officers, firefighters), ministry leaders and volunteers serving in crisis management roles, and those who've experienced single incident traumas (car accidents, medical trauma, physical assault, natural disasters). I also specialize in helping individuals who've experienced traumatic grief/loss (those who witnessed a traumatic event). I've completed training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) through the Veteran Affairs Medical Center and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) through an EMDRIA approved trainer. I use several different approaches to prepare clients for the hard work of facing their pasts. When you're ready, we will work together to decide what treatment will be most effective for you.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.
