Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop in individuals who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. Trauma, broadly defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience, can have lasting effects on one's emotional and psychological well-being. Common sources of trauma leading to PTSD include but are not limited to, combat exposure, sexual assault, accidents, or natural disasters. Symptoms of PTSD often manifest as intrusive memories, nightmares, heightened arousal, avoidance of reminders, and negative changes in mood and cognition. Trauma affects individuals differently, and while some may recover naturally over time, others may need therapeutic intervention. Effective treatments for PTSD include various forms of psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), as well as medications that target specific symptoms. Recognizing and addressing trauma is crucial for promoting healing and restoring a sense of safety and well-being.

Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
The impact of a single, traumatic event or experiencing an environment that provides a chronic sense of danger can have a debilitating effect on how we view the world and how we function in it. Through therapy, we'll identify how your experiences of trauma are manifested in your body and thoughts, and work on improving upon your awareness of triggers and improving coping behaviors.

Rachel Ann Dine
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LPC
Flashbacks of the event or situation. Feeling on edge. Hypervigilant. Difficulty trusting others. When a traumatic situation occurs, it can bring about all of the above and cause you to feel disoriented and even wonder how you can get back to who you once were. I provide a compassionate, trauma informed approach to help women process through trauma (specific emphasis in domestic violence, sexual assault, and emotional abuse), feel back in control of your mind and body, and develop tools for healing. Traumatic events can cause a rupture in self esteem, and I want every client I work with to rebuild who you are so you feel confident in navigating through life while also feeling supported and validated in your healing journey.
