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.

La Luz Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LPC-S, LCSW-S
Abuse. Sexual abuse. So many words and feelings to describe these words. We understand we don't know you, but we do know how abuse effects people. First off, we can only imagine how hard this is for you to have had to experience. What happened to you was NOT your fault. Although you may feel damaged and broken, you are NOT. You wouldn't be coming to counseling to get fixed because you are NOT damaged or broken. Hurt, yes. We can help walk with you through the hurt, no matter how short or how long ago it happened. There is no amount of time that passes that healing can't take place.

Stacy Costopoulos Smith
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, PAT-P
Sexual abuse is devastating and it happens so widely that many of us don't even recognize it. If you've experienced sexual abuse, I welcome you and I will work to offer you a safe place to have your experience held and respected completely. The shame we carry from sexual abuse can be so pervasive that it limits us in ways we don't realize. We develop protections that keep us from being vulnerable enough to really try new relationships again. I'm here to help validate angry parts and and to gently bring healing to the hurt parts so that shame can be healed and wholeness restored.

Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR, REAT
Sexual abuse is much larger problem than most people realize. One in four women have a history of sexual abuse. One in 7 men. These are just the reported cases. We keep it a secret for years. It destroys our sense of self. We feel less than, dirty, not good enough, and terrified it will happen again. We cannot block out the memory. It is a depressing and overwhelming. I use Cognitive Processing Therapy, a 12 session approach to reducing symptoms of trauma. If clients are open to using art, we add it as a way to go deeper and better express what is difficult to express verbally.
