Trauma and PTSD
Priya Patel
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
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. Life quickly becomes busy with many stressors, challenges and endless to-do lists. We quickly become our own self-critic.
I bring an empathetic and safe environment where together, you and I create the real meaning behind your symptoms and begin to create a road map to achieve the healing you are striving for. 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
Depression
Childhood PTSD
Relationship issues
Feeling lost
Grief + Loss

Trauma and PTSD
Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR, REAT
Trauma impacts every area of our lives - how we see ourselves, others and the world. It can destroy our sense of safety, trust, esteem, intimacy, and power/control. We create stories that are untrue and cause ourselves pain. I enjoy adding Expressive Arts Therapy to Cognitive Processing Therapy. Expressive arts can be a way to express oneself non-verbally which has helped many clients access their connection to their body and emotions. Trauma creates a disconnect from the mind and body. Almost as if we become a floating head. I have witnessed several clients reconnect to their feelings and body through keeping an art journal and sharing in session. In addition, overtime they were able to access their own insight and inner wisdom. Working on trauma is scary for many people. There is no pressure to follow a prescribed course or use art. I understand how difficult it is to share the story and trust a new therapist. I work at a client's comfort level and pace.

Ashley Ray
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S, CCTP, TIYT
It's not your fault! That overwhelming feeling that you just want to crawl out of your skin... The challenges you experience communicating and socializing with others... Your thoughts racing and feeling stuck in the past... Feeling emotionally overwhelmed by the smallest of things... Not being able to sleep at night. None of it's your fault.
I specialize in helping men and women heal from their traumatic past... and guess what! I'm not going to make you talk about it... definitely not at first... and maybe never. The first thing we are going to do is get clear on your symptoms and triggers and work together to help you rewire your trauma-response so that you can feel at peace, calm and happy again. First, I help you to understand what's happening with your nervous system, and then we utilize holistic evidence-based somatic and CBT techniques to bring your body, mind and emotions back into balance. Then, once you feel strong, steady and an ability to achieve calm whenever you like, and if you like, we can revisit the past. Don't worry, the past is not where we start. We start in the present. We help you feel safe so that you are no longer afraid of falling apart.
Give me a call. I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation!

Trauma and PTSD
Leslie Ginger
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
So many of us don't even realize that we have been through trauma or don't want to call it that. Truth is everyone has been through some sort of trauma. Some of those traumas are what we refer to as little T's, which may not resonate with most as traumas yet they have a significant impact on our lives and have the potential for attaching to a negative belief. Others of us have experienced what we refer to as big T's, which are the ones that most people think of when they think of trauma.
Regardless of whether it is a big T or little T, together we can navigate the healing process that needs to occur in order to process those memories so that they no longer have the power that they have now. When we bring things into the light, it no longer has the power in the darkness.
I know that it won't be easy and that there is a part of you that does not even want to face it. You will not be alone and you do have the power inside to overcome these negative beliefs.
My hope is to provide a space where you feel safe to begin or continue your journey toward healing and restoration.

Ryan Holliman
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
You don’t talk much about that day, but it still upsets you. That traumatic experience has infected all the other parts of your life. You find yourself avoiding situations and people that remind you of it. It’s getting to the point that your spending most of your life avoiding things. And that memory hurts. Sometimes you feel like your broken, and wonder if your life will ever feel “normal” again. You’ve tried to talk to family, but they can’t do much more than lend a sympathetic ear. And you’ve been to therapy, but you just talked about the trauma over and over, and that didn’t really seem to help anything. So is this it?
When I work with clients struggling with trauma I use an intervention called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). While I could tell you all the neuroscience, what really happens in EMDR is we drain all of the emotions from your traumatic memory and install a positive belief about yourself.
Through EMDR we help you finally recover from the past. You can discard the negative beliefs about yourself that traumatic experience made you believe, and you can recapture a healthy and positive life. You need a trusted guide to help you through your trauma, and I can help. Call today to schedule a free initial 15 minute consultation.

Trauma and PTSD can have a significant impact on an individual's mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life. If you or a loved one has experienced trauma, know that you are not alone. At my counseling practice, I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma and are struggling with symptoms of PTSD.

Through these modalities, I provide a safe and supportive space for clients to process their traumatic experiences, gain a deeper understanding of their symptoms, and develop coping strategies for managing symptoms in everyday life.
I understand that trauma can impact every area of a person's life, and I work collaboratively with clients to address their unique needs and goals. Whether you are struggling with flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, or avoidance behaviors, I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and recovery.

Trauma and PTSD
Mike Jeffcoat
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I can guide the client to better understanding of their PETS: physical response, emotional response, and thoughts by exploring the triggers and learning to manage our responses to perceived threat. Once healing has started, we can explore spirituality and how it can be a tool for recovery into true inner peace and self-empowerment. To that purpose, I use positive psychology, integrative holistic theories and practices, meditation, and breathwork so that my clients can experience a fulfilling life and become the authentic person they've wanted to be.

Ashley Evans
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Personal Coach
I work with clients recovering from trauma, whether it is something recent or from long ago. Trauma can leave a long lasting stain on our thoughts and behaviors which shapes our unconscious behaviors. This can have a disturbing impact on our current day relationships as we react when we are unknowingly triggered. Your time with me is your safe, confidential space to release the stranglehold past hurts have had on your life.
