Trauma and PTSD
Stephanie Marks
Hypnotherapist, MA
Being alive stimulates all kinds of traumas ranging from some more painful experiences that have become paralyzing and limiting, to common everyday traumas that stimulate discomfort and have lead us to retreat within some kind of defense, containing the trauma. Being alive means that we inevitably suffer and experience trauma in one way or another. We must learn to overcome our traumas in healthy ways. In our work together, I offer a safe, compassionate and supportive space where my patients can talk freely about all thoughts and feelings where we can then move towards healing our pain and hurtful, traumatic experiences and transform them into strength and resilience, moving towards a greater understanding of what role these traumas have played.

Trauma and PTSD
Bambara Psychotherapy, LCSW, PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Not everyone who suffers from a traumatic experience develops PTSD symptoms. It is not uncommon for two people to experience the exact same traumatic event and have drastically different behavioral responses. Whether you have a PTSD diagnosis, think you are experiencing symptoms of PTSD, or want to better understand your responses to a traumatic event, psychotherapy can offer a safe, comforting environment to unpack the layers one step at a time.

Ariel Hayat
Therapist, LMSW
I am a trauma-trained therapist with extensive experience working with individuals and couples who have experience environmental, relational, and intergenerational trauma. The trauma that we experience in our lives does not only impacts our ability to uniquely experience each moment, but it also informs the way that we show up for relationships with ourselves, friends, family, significant others and within workplace settings. We can feel like we're constantly fighting against ourselves, filled with feelings of shame, self-doubt, anxiety and depression. I create client-centered safe spaces to understand and heal from trauma from a mind-body perspective.

Trauma and PTSD
Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in trauma and PTSD (and attachment, which is often related to trauma). I can help your child process through an upsetting event so that it is not so upsetting anymore. I also help you know how to handle different situations that can come up, such when your child is fearful of something that reminds them of the traumatic event. Safety, feeling powerless, and overwhelming emotions are all addressed in a compassionate, supportive environment.

Trauma and PTSD
Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we approach trauma and PTSD with a compassionate and transformative method, helping individuals heal from past wounds that continue to affect their lives and relationships. Our Deconstructing Anxiety™ model guides clients to uncover the 5 "core fears" at the heart of their trauma responses—including fear of abandonment, loss of identity, loss of meaning, loss of purpose and fear of death. We then identify the “chief defenses” that have developed to cope with these fears, like hypervigilance, emotional numbing, or isolation. By encouraging clients to do the opposite of these defenses in a supportive and safe environment, we create a path for them to reclaim their sense of safety, rebuild trust, and experience greater resilience. This healing process not only helps release the hold of traumatic memories but also empowers individuals to engage more openly and authentically in their relationships, fostering a renewed sense of connection and inner peace.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Michele L. Shropshire
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is a treatment option that can be used in conjunction with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to treat trauma and PTSD. Using an eight-phase organized method, EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that assists people in processing and integrating upsetting memories. In order to aid in the reprocessing of traumatic memories and lessen their emotional impact, bilateral stimulation is frequently used in the form of guided eye movements. EMDR places more emphasis on the emotional processing of traumatic experiences than TF-CBT, which prioritizes cognitive restructuring and skill development. EMDR is a successful treatment for PTSD, anxiety, and depression because it addresses the underlying memories and beliefs related to trauma. When TF-CBT and EMDR are used together, it can offer a whole therapy plan that addresses the emotional and cognitive elements of trauma, improving overall symptoms.

My goal is to help you process and heal from trauma, regain a sense of safety, and build a fulfilling and resilient life. Together, we will develop a personalized therapeutic plan tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you feel supported and empowered throughout your healing journey.

We live in a fast-paced environment under pressure to succeed and keep up. As we enter each transition, we embody different roles from parenthood, sibling, caretaker, employee and the list goes on.

You will learn many tools, among learning how to practice self-compassion, especially during these times! We will work together to reframe thinking and reactions and explore tools to better cope with life’s challenges. I specialize in helping dealing with:
Life transitions
Anxiety
