Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Jessica Shine
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPC
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 the effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist are fundamental to healing from trauma.

Trauma and PTSD
Melanie Ward
Counselor/Therapist, MS, NCC, LPCA
Trauma like childhood abuse, intimate partner violence, or religious abuse can erode a person's sense of self-worth and create feelings of shame, guilt, and inadequacy. It can lead to flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts and make it difficult to form and maintain healthy relationships. I offer Brainspotting, which is a mind-body trauma therapy that is based on the idea that there are areas in our visual field that allow us to access traumatic memories and other kinds of distress. When one of those areas is identified and activated, the trauma can be processed and released.

Trauma and PTSD
Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
None of us can escape some level of trauma; inevitably, it will be a part of life. How much it affects us, however, depends on many factors including the nervous system we were born with, our outer resources, and how much relational support we receive to help us recover from the trauma. Many people do not have access to adequate resources to help them recover from trauma (and this is very subjective and personal, varying from person to person), and the trauma continues to affect them in (sometimes subtle, but still) impactful ways. If certain factors come together, PTSD may develop out of trauma. Often clients feel like they have failed because they can't completely "get over" their PTSD reactions. I have often reminded clients that PTSD is "the gift that keeps on giving". It can be very hard, perhaps impossible, to completely eradicate PTSD reactions, because the reaction is not just of the mind, it is of the whole body. My approach to helping clients with trauma and PTSD involves looking at it holistically and working to understand how the trauma changed you, your reaction across many facets of your life (thoughts, feelings, habits, behaviors, self-care or lack thereof, expectations, how you view the world), and then working on replacing what is harmful with what is helpful. The goal isn't to completely get rid of the PTSD symptoms (which is likely impossible) but rather to dramatically reduce its effect on you, so you can live your best life, and so an occasional symptom breaking through will not derail you.

Trauma and PTSD
Hillary Langley
Psychologist, PsyD
I am trained in EMDR, an evidence based treatment for trauma and PTSD. I will work with you to identify target memories along with negative beliefs, emotions, and somatic sensations. We will then work together to reprocess those memories. EMDR does not require a detailed account of your trauma or homework.
