Trauma and PTSD
Sarah J Thompson
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC, LCMHC
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster.
While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or post-traumatic stress far after the event has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.

Joy Rabon
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT, CCTP, CIMHP
I have a special interest in working with trauma and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I have found that a significant percentage of clients seeking counseling have experienced some form of trauma. Trauma is often misunderstood, and ongoing research is expanding our understanding of its effects. I stay current with research on trauma, including childhood trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and chronic complex trauma, to better support clients seeking help.

Trauma and PTSD
Ross Kellogg, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Single event trauma and long-term developmental trauma in childhood can each be overwhelming experiences that bring about an overwhelming set of symptoms that often end in a lot of isolation for the traumatized person. Therapy can help you re-engage with people and life again. A multi modality approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy couples with Object Relations Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy can often be an effective method for managing symptoms, getting back to feeling good, and accepting the full impact and meaning of the traumatic event(s).

Trauma and PTSD
Mindy Ash Hypnosis Centers in Las Vegas and Hypnosis in Henderson Nevada
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapy Instructor, Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner, EQ Coach, Master Business Coach, Author
Trauma and PSTD is caused by an initial sensitizing event. When an event upsets us, scares us or shocked us, that impression is linked up in your subconscious mind and so whenever you are in a similar situation you run the old pattern you learn from that initial sensitizing event. With hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming we retrain your brain so that we lessen the impact of the previous event so that you have no emotional charge to the event anymore. And this shifts your perspective so that you can be free from those old emotions.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
When working with trauma I pull from EMDR, somatic approaches, and parts work. A primary goal of the work is to reduce shame and self-judgments, and for you to feel like you can understand and provide compassion to yourself. Through those processes, trauma can be transformed and your experience of yourself and those around you naturally reshaped.
