Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
I have worked with clients who have been traumatized as a child, teenager, adult or older adult. Trauma can occur due to emotional, physical, sexual or psychological assault. Everyone experiences and manages their trauma exposure in their own unique way. Sometimes we are not even aware of events that have happened to us or have spent a lifetime trying not to remember. Regardless, that experience can impact how we think about and treat ourselves and others. Depending on the severity and duration of that trauma, it is not uncommon for it to affect our ability to work, parent, maintain relationships, function and even tolerate being around others. I work with clients who have experienced physical and psychological abuse, sexual abuse or exploitation, combat or military trauma, racism, discrimination and marginalization, sexism and violence. Everyone's story is unique and I work to help that individual process those experiences at a pace that they can manage to reclaim the life they deserve.

Trauma and PTSD
Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Many people seeking counseling for mental health issues have experienced trauma. I feel that it is very important to acknowledge the wide variety of difficult experiences that can have the impact of trauma. Trauma can be caused by not only physical and sexual violence but also emotional abuse, bullying, oppression/discrimination, body shaming, microaggressions, religious and spiritual abuse, and more. Some of the approaches I use to treat trauma include Cognitive Processing Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Trauma and PTSD
Reclaim Counseling, PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC
Trauma is any time in your life where your emotions overwhelmed you past the point that you had the resources to cope with in the moment. Whether it was because you were alone without a trusting adult to guide you, too young to understand what was happening, or an event or person was terrifying.

Trauma and PTSD
Stephanie Ennen
Therapist, LPC,LCPC, LMHC
I specialize in providing compassionate support for individuals coping with trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I understand that trauma can have a profound impact on your emotional and psychological well-being, often leading to feelings of anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness.
In our sessions, we will create a safe and supportive environment where you can share your experiences at your own pace. Utilizing Trauma-Informed Care principles, I prioritize your sense of safety and empowerment throughout the therapeutic process.
I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you process traumatic memories and reduce the distress associated with them. Together, we will work on reframing negative thought patterns and developing healthier coping strategies.
Mindfulness techniques and relaxation exercises may also be integrated into our work to help you manage anxiety and cultivate a sense of calm. These practices can assist you in grounding yourself and enhancing emotional regulation.
A vital part of our therapy will involve psychoeducation. Understanding the effects of trauma and PTSD can empower you to recognize your reactions and navigate your healing journey more effectively. We will work together to develop a personalized plan that addresses your unique needs and goals.
My aim is to provide a safe space where you can heal and reclaim your life. Together, we can work towards fostering resilience, enhancing your sense of safety, and building a brighter future.

Rather than limit counseling to only one approach, I offer my clients what I think is best specifically for them from a wide array of expert approaches in my marriage and other counseling. In addition to leading seminars to train other professionals in marriage counseling, I have benefited by receiving extensive professional training from most of the leading marriage counseling experts in the country, including but not limited to John Gottman, Susan Johnson, John Gray, Harville Hendrix, Virginia Satyr, Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Gary Brainard, Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, Janice Abrahms Spring, and Neil Jacobson.
