As a survivor myself, I've spent a lifetime studying the effects of trauma on the body and the brain. I specialize in helping people understand the ways trauma impacts their lives, their relationships and their futures. Using somatic mindfulness, psychoeducation and empathetic support I teach people how to work with, rather than against, their trauma affected brains and find true safety and happiness.

Gemma Baumer (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A. in Counseling

PTSD refers to a cluster of symptoms that occur on all levels of experience, and reflect an activated nervous system and a sense of uneasiness and discomfort in our bodies and worlds. We may or may not why this is, but over time, we can begin to access more safety and embodiment. Sometimes this means processing and working through traumatic experiences, and in other cases, it is in learning to care for ourselves in service to releasing patterns of chronic dissociation and alertness.

I have worked with individuals with developmental and acute trauma and use EMDR and trauma informed care to provide somatic and emotional healing from trauma response.

Mark Pechovnik

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Trauma are experiences that either actively and vividly haunt us or go underground and reveal themselves only through behaviors that limit our full engagement in life. I utilize various techniques (including EMDR) to help uncover and work with the trauma so that it becomes less a defining factor and more an historical artifact.

Melissa Hartley (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

NCC, LPC

The impacts of trauma can feel incredibly distressing and disruptive one's life in a myriad of ways. My philosophy is that all trauma is valid and you can expect to experience very intentional care and a attuned pace in addressing it. Together we can identify, unpack and address issues related to trauma and focus therapy on feeling more grounded in the here and now.

Daniel Maher, LCSW (He / Him)

Whether it be to heal with the impact of discrete traumatic events or complex interpersonal trauma, I use a combination of attachment theory, DBT and a relational-psychodynamic therapy to help you build safety and seIf worth.

As a trauma-certified therapist, PTSD, adult survivors of sexual abuse, grief, and medical trauma are a focus of my practice. Trauma affects the nervous system, other aspects of our physiology, as well as our emotional state. At the same time, it can be managed holistically and with a trauma-informed approach. A safe therapeutic healing space conducive to restoration and processing can help with symptom management and overall wellness.

Elizabeth Sokolowski, PhD (She/They)

I treat PTSD through a three-phased approach: 1) building coping skills to reduce severity of current symptoms, 2) processing traumas through narrative methods, and 3) re-establishing thriving (e.g., setting and achieving goals, connecting interpersonally).

Many folks I work with have experienced trauma due to societal oppression, religion, relationships, and early childhood experiences. This impacts our thinking patterns, relationship to self and our bodies, how we show up in the world, and creates a wound that requires tending to. Together we will gently tend to this with consent, compassion, care, and safety. We will explore stories and narratives of resilience, connection to the body, and changing relational patterns that arise from trauma.

Jordan Hubchik (she/her/hers)

Because traumatic events are more commonly stored in the brain and body through imagery and felt sensations, art therapy is a highly beneficial treatment approach for trauma processing and healing. I work with my clients to narrate their stories through a combination of art-making and verbal communication so that a sense of repair and integration can be achieved. My approach to trauma-work comes from a model called the Three Phases of Trauma Recovery by Judith Herman.

I have a reverence for trauma work and show up fully to support you with compassion, insight, creativity, and shared trust. Many theories of trauma all point in the direction of relationships: that the wounds that we sustain in this lifetime occur within our stories with others. I see therapy as a place for you to explore and reclaim your power. I am trained in Narrative Exposure Therapy, a radical and affirming trauma processing modality that empowers us to revisit your story on your terms

Trauma impacts our minds and our bodies, often leaving survivors feeling alone, out of control and disrupting sleep, digestion, physical comfort, social contact and the sense of basic safety.

My clients report reduced symptoms and greater freedom to engage in life.

Will Howell (he/him)

At your pace, we'll utilize mindfulness, parts work and somatic-based interventions to help expand your window of tolerance. While emphasizing co-regulation, we’ll explore what feels unacceptable, become in tune with your mind-body connection, and investigate old coping patterns that no longer serve you. There is wisdom and connection to gain when we listen to our pain through the lens of love and curiosity, allowing old protective mechanisms to step back and new beliefs to blossom.

As a certified trauma professional I have extensive experience both professionally and personally as it relates to helping individuals work through and heal from they are PTSD diagnosis. Carrying the weight of deep trauma can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to define our lives. We possess the ability to transform our pain and use our experiences to fuel our growth and become a better version of ourselves.

Emily Berry (they/them)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

We are dynamic beings who are shaped by our experiences. I don't see mental health struggles as a sign that something is "broken" or "wrong," but rather an understandable reaction to one's experiences that we get to examine together. I use a framework of Interpersonal Biology to understand the impacts of trauma on our lives. Once we understand how experiences have impacted us, we can make more conscious decisions about what needs attention and healing, and what we want to focus on and change.

Overwhelming situations can create patterns of behavior that began as a healthy response to help us survive a dangerous situation, but sometimes we can get stuck and plagued with disturbing thoughts and feelings.These situations can stem from harmful relationships, accidents, or natural disasters. Let's explore the survival strategies that are no longer serving you. Let's learn to differentiate between what happened in the past and how you can move forward.

Peter Gold (he/him)

Professional Counselor

PhD, LPC, LMHC

Most people are familiar with fight/flight and freeze/please as responses to dangerous circumstances.  The Polyvagel Theory is an elaboration on these ideas.  I use a Polyvagel approach to help you get back to feeling safe after you have experienced trauma.  People usually get stuck in either fight/flight or freeze/please mode after traumatic experiences.  As a result the entire world begins to like a threat.  The Polyvagel approach helps restore safety and regulation so that you feel better.

Katherine Chiba, LCSW

I have been working with veterans for fifteen years, and a majority of my clients suffer from PTSD related to combat trauma, childhood trauma, or sexual trauma, or, far too often, a combination of these.

Jenny Larson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC (OR), LMHC (WA), EMDR Certified

When we experience trauma of any kind, parts of us step in to protect us. In the moment, we need those parts and they may even be crucial to our survival. Once we’re through the trauma, those protective parts might start getting in the way. They might feel like anxiety, self-criticism, depression, or the need to be perfect, and they might interfere with our ability to form connections with others. Therapy can help us honor those former survival strategies and help us get unstuck.

Marina Nelson, MC (she/her/hers)

There are two specific techniques that are consistently gaining research-based evidence of their effectiveness in successfully treating PTSD. Brainspotting – This modality taps into the body’s​ innate ability to heal in order to reduce and eliminate the impact of unresolved trauma, negative beliefs, and emotional distress. EMDR – This technique uses bilateral sensory input such as side-to-side eye movements to stimulate the brain to process difficult thoughts, memories, and emotions.

Jordan Curtis (He/him)

I have helped many clients with both PTSD and C-PTSD to re-regulate their nervous systems to a place of balance where they can enjoy life. For clients with PTSD, I use coregulation, somatic techniques, polyvagal theory, grounding, and mindfulness-based experiential therapy in order to ground & calm the nervous system. It is possible to heal, and I use a gentle holistic approach to working with trauma. Due to my experience as an RN, I am suited to helping clients with medical-related trauma.

Gregory Kaplan (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

Trauma is an over-adaption to an overwhelming event (e.g. assault, abuse). PTSD disrupts our capacity to regulate thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and puts us into survival mode. It can leave our relationships and nervous systems in need of repair. Symptoms include intrusive thoughts of harm and distressing memories, being. Yet with adaptation and resilience, most of us are able to grow stronger from the most grievous wounds. I am a Level I Trained EMDR therapist.

Trauma is a distressing and unwanted situation in which we feel ourselves and/or loves ones to be in danger. This can be chronic such as enduring abuse, or acute such as a car or bike accident.

If your symptoms look anything like being overtaken by memories of painful experiences, trouble sleeping, being easily startled, or chronically feeling stuck with negative emotions like anger or shame, we can work on that.

Unburdening these stuck parts leads to a powerful transformation, building trust to tackle trauma triggers, heal wounds, and find a sense of wholeness so you can confidently move forward in your life.

Kimberly Zeszutek, LPC (She/Her/Hers)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

My structure of therapy follows Judith Herman’s theory of care for Complex Trauma integrated with concepts of behaviorism, such as consciously building skills to be able to successfully influence PTSD symptoms and have the skills to process trauma. I understand how traumatic events can surface into someone’s daily life as symptoms of nightmares, flashbacks, emotional dysregulation, suicidal thoughts, self-invalidation, self-harm, depression, and/or anxiety.

Zachary Ash (He/Him)

Clinical Social Work Associate

MSW, CSWA

I have treated many clients who have met the clinical definition for post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic stress disorder unspecified. These cases have ranged from individual discrete traumas to historical and multi-generational traumas utilizing evidence based treatments such as Narrative Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Danette Gillespie-Otto

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I have specialized training in the treatment of trauma, using both cognitive behavioral approaches and interpersonal neurobiology. I have worked with traumatized people for over 10 years.

Francis Aurora Otto (they | she)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, RSMT/E

Traumatic experiences are overwhelming and leave lasting impact. The most impactful aspect is feeling alone with what you've gone through. Together, I work to gently meet and attend to what it's been like for you and help to regulate these feelings so they don't take over and derail your life.

Lauren Stines (she/they)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

MA MCFT

You are more than your trauma. In working with me, you will never be expected to disclose the fine details of your greatest hurts. Instead, we will gently cradle the emotional residue of those experiences, hold curiosity for those hurts as well as compassion for the ways that you continue to survive. That compassion will pave a path toward letting go of the survival strategies that are no longer serving you. We will slowly reintroduce you to your feeling body and invite you back into your life.

Mahalia Lind-Diamond (She/They)

Professional Counselor Associate

I provide a space where we can gently explore past trauma and investigate the effects of it in your daily life.

Tiffany Barr (she/her)

Katie Kotsovos (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

I'm trained in EMDR for reprocessing traumatic memories. I also incorporate parts work from Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and Janina Fisher's model of structural dissociation. These approaches can help us appreciate how your system is trying to keep you safe and create reparative experiences so you can feel safe when you actually are. This can also be applied to attachment trauma (abuse, neglect or invalidation) experienced early in life.

Holly Wigmore (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, NCC

The focus of my practice is trauma processing and supporting clients toward resolving what feels unresolvable. I work with clients with acute, chronic, complex, and systemic/ancestral trauma presentations as well as dissociative/depersonalized presentations and traumagenic personality disorders. Central to my practice is providing a stable, dependable, and compassionate relationship in order to begin the healing process. As Yalom says “it’s the relationship that heals".

I am certified in EAGALA and trained in Natural Lifemanship, both trauma informed therapy models that have shown to be effective in treating PTSD.

Brandy Tidwell (she/her)

Clinical Psychologist

PhD

Traumatic experiences threaten our sense of safety and overwhelm our ability to cope, resulting in lasting adverse effects on physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. Many circumstances can be experienced as traumatic, and PTSD is only one of many possible outcomes. While I work with most trauma-related difficulties, I specialize in complex and interpersonal traumas, such as childhood abuse and neglect, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and identity-based traumas.

Forrest Pandit-Kerr

Professional Counselor Associate

MS, CRC

The majority of clients I work with have complex and extensive trauma history. I have seen many people trauma responses misdiagnosed and mischaracterized. I take a trauma responsive approach and make sure to regularly check in with you to make sure the counseling space feels safe and comfortable. I will treat you with respect and help you to integrate your trauma. We cannot change our experiences, but we can control what we do with them. I use personalized evidence-based practices for treatment.

Dr. Kimberly Christensen

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

PHD, LMFT

Healing sources of trauma is the primary goal of my style of practice. I have over a decade of experience working with individuals and couples utilizing the methods of Somatic Therapy. My therapeutic work is enhanced by Trauma-Informed Care. I work on integrating body awareness to uncover and address the root causes of stress and trauma, rather than treating symptoms.

Beth Bogdon (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Many people experiences life events that impact them physically and emotionally. A person may find themselves fearful, unexpectedly remembering a past event, difficulty going places, and many more experiences. I work with people to regain a sense of safety and, if appropriate, use my training in trauma processing to decrease how symptoms impact your daily life.

Gillian Chachere

Qualified Mental Health Professional

Day Hancock Murphy (they/them)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

MS, MFTA

Much of my work with clients is around treating the effects of trauma. I conducted an independent study during my graduate program on trauma and have concentrated on the treatment of trauma throughout my time in school and have continued to work with this population through internship and in my time outside of school.

Otoniel "Toni" Calderon (He/They)

Professional Counselor Associate

M.A.

As a survivor of years-long childhood abuse/emotional neglect, I have dealt with and worked through the complex aftermath that this causes. I have utilized the Seeking Safety manual which addresses Trauma & Substance Abuse to help clients work through the complex aftermath of trauma.

Christine Finucane (She/her/hers)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, SUDP, LICSW, SEP

Working with people who have experienced traumatic events and helping with their healing process is one of my greatest passions. I work with all kids of trauma, early childhood trauma or complex trauma as it is known and adult onset trauma. Trauma is the result of the nervous system being overwhelmed and incapable of processing the trauma at the time of the event. Working with the body and nervous system to recognize and allow for completion and release of the stored trauma is the healing.

Naomi Painter (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Trauma doesn’t only come from the battlefield. A difficult childhood, a coercive or conflict-filled relationship, a toxic workplace, a natural disaster, an assault, a death, the loss of a friend or a support network…these things can shape our thinking, our behavior, and our well-being long after we’re supposed to be “over it.” If you’re not sure if you have experienced trauma, reach out and we can explore it together.

Grace Silvia, LCSW (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Therapy should not be re-traumatizing! If you find yourself dissociating during or after therapy or dreading it, something is wrong. Working in a trauma-informed way means I will help you learn the signs of when you are beginning to re-experience the trauma, and how to bring yourself back into safety. The work must go at your pace, guided by your body's subtle cues and your inner 'no' and 'yes.'

Shannon Rice (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, SEP

I have 3 years of training in Somatic Experiencing, a world-renowned trauma-informed therapeutic modality. This includes acute PTSD, as well as sexual, complex, relational, and/or developmental trauma. You will learn how trauma works and how to regulate yourself when triggered to feel more empowered in yourself and in the world. My goal is to help you feel more "at home" in your body and learn how to trust your internal cues.

Ghassan Ammar (they/them, he/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

I utilize EMDR therapy to assist you in healing from trauma. EMDR stands for Eye Movement De-sensitization and Reprocessing, and is an evidence-based modality for the treatment of trauma. One of the many things I, and folks I work with, value about EMDR is that it doesn't require one to talk a lot about their trauma.

Caitlin Truitt (she/her/hers)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LICSW

In a therapy setting, my work has focused on clients who've experienced trauma such as sexual assault, childhood abuse, grief/loss, systemic oppression, spiritual trauma, and violence. I believe that the antidote to trauma is safe and supportive connection. To be able to re-connect with others, we need to find safety in our own bodies. In session, I use a collaborative, body-centered approach that centers your self-determination. I am trained somatic- and attachment-focused EMDR therapy.

Kate Robinson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Symptoms of PTSD often cause distress, impaired functioning and can negatively impact personal relationships, the ability to work and the ability to participate in social activities that used to be enjoyable. Unhealthy coping skills such as increased drug or alcohol use are not uncommon. By learning healthier coping skills, relaxation techniques, and new ways of thinking, relief is possible.

Emma Bridges (she/her)

I offer EMDR extended sessions. Learn more here: https://www.emmabridgeslcsw.com/emdr-intensives

Amanda Roberson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

PTSD is a cluster of symptoms that may arise after a person has experienced a traumatic event. This is the body and mind's way of trying to protect itself after experiencing an atypical event. Symptoms experienced include recurrent memories/flashbacks of the event as if it's happening in real time, avoidance of people/places/things that serve as reminders, depression, and anxiety symptoms.

Lindsay Howson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

PTSD is a set of symptoms that is caused by traumatic events in our lives. I utilize EMDR, mindfulness, and trauma-focused CBT to help my clients minimize the effects of PTSD on their lives.

Carly Henderson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, LMHC, NCC

We know a lot more than we did only decades ago about how trauma is stored in the brain and body, about how it is activated by present experiences, and how to effectively process and integrate traumatic memories. I utilize EMDR, somatic techniques and Interpersonal Neurobiology to assist clients with trauma.

Jen Yerty (They/She)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CADC I

I am a certified trauma specialist through PESI, and have training in working with clients with PTSD, complex PTSD, and DID. I've also been asked to speak to graduate classes as a specialist in this field. I use a variety of techniques, but begin by working through Judith Herman's 3-stage process that prioritizes establishing safety before processing trauma and terminating treatment. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy for trauma processing.

Joyce Yuan

Clinical Psychologist

PhD

Through my work at veterans hospitals, I have gained experience at treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms of PTSD include unwanted memories of trauma, hypervigilance, and avoidance of perceived threats. Treatment can involve processing feelings about the past trauma, understanding how trauma affects your current thinking and behavior, and developing new ways to feel safe and empowered.

Stephanie Podasca (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, LMHC

PTSD is a very challenging and unique experience for everyone - I have worked with many people who satisfied the criteria for PTSD, even though all of their experiences were wildly different! As a trauma-informed therapist, I initially assume that a traumatic experience is at the root of most human suffering and is the cause of the majority of symptoms such as anxiety, depression, addiction, etc. I engage in ongoing education to be an active helper at every phase of the recovery process.

Kimberly Crow (she/her/hers)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CADC-III

It is easy to underestimate how debilitating it is to live with PTSD. I believe it is important to focus on developing the ability to self-regulate through understanding the effects of trauma on the brain and body. My goal is for you to feel more connected to yourself and others, and to feel worthy of living a full and meaningful life.

Jacob Curtis (he/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

I have training in both Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). Both of these therapies are evidenced based treatments.

Scott Fletcher (He/Him)

I use Narrative Exposure Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Neurobiology to help people gain a sense of grounding and safety after traumatic experiences. Whether major life threatening incidents or painful emotional and relationship wounds, trauma can impact a person's ability to navigate life.

Rushini Jayawardena (she, her)

Joan Laguzza, LCSW Joie PDX Counseling

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

My work as a medical social worker at a Level 1 trauma hospital in the burn center, trauma, and intensive care units has informed my approach to people suffering from the effects of trauma and familiarized me with its varied manifestations. I have expertise in dealing with crisis, the immediate impact of trauma, and the long lasting emotional and physical effects of historical trauma.

Haleigh Yurecko (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, MSW

Many people have experienced traumatic life experiences that cause them some level of distress. It is important that they have a therapist who can work with them through this when they feel ready. I ensure that a client has grounding skills before processing trauma to reduce activation, flooding, dissociation, or other trauma symptoms from occurring and causing additional distress. I am certified to use EMDR to treat trauma. I also use a relational narrative approach and trauma focused CBT.

Heather Hawkins (she/her)

Meghan O'Connor (they/them/she/her)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

MA, MFT

Trauma is an experience that overwhelms your system. Childhood experiences can continue to impact us in a number of ways - unstable relationship to oneself and others, panic attacks, depression, addiction, anger, anxiety, feeling out of body, chronic destructive habits, memory loss. Talk therapy alone rarely does the trick. I work with you through Somatic interventions, EMDR, and parts work, to mitigate chronic nervous system arousal, helping you to feel more safely engaged with the world.

Courtney Burns

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

We all have our stories to share. I am so honored to be able to witness and sort through the strengths brought on by a person's darkest tales. I will create a space that helps you feel safe and supported to explore experiences that are painful to recall. Sharing your story with another empathic person can help free up emotional space to find meaning in the hurt and build room for new joys.

Wild Wish Counseling

Licensed Professional Counselor

Individuals who have experienced a traumatic or terrifying event (often life threatening) can develop flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Wild Wish Counseling works with our patients to help manage the intense feelings surrounding a traumatic or terrifying event. Although the instigating event may overpower coping resources available at the time, it is nevertheless possible to develop healthy ways of coping and diminishing its effects.

Tracy Bryce Farmer (she/they)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, MFA, CADC

Many people have undergone trauma and don't realize its impact on their lives. PTSD symptoms can include fear, worry, conflict, self-loathing and shame. Let me help you get to the bottom of what you have experienced so you can feel more free.

Jenn Garlock (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, NCC

I use Internal Family Systems therapy, attachment therapy, EMDR, and psychodynamic therapy to help my clients identify what happened to them, explore how this has impacted their lives, their relationships, and their self esteem, and make steps to create the lives and relationships that they want for themselves.

Aaron Kelsay (he / him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CADC I

Trauma is confusing, it's disconnecting, disorienting. Reversing trauma means re-developing and re-learning safety, trusting one's body cues, listening one's thoughts and feelings. It's a long journey, but it's well worth it. I have years of experience working with the most acute cases of PTSD, and I can say with confidence I have honed the skills to help clients move towards healing in this area.

Rhys Pasimio (He/Him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

C3730

Trauma happens for many reasons and takes many forms. Whether or not you meet clinical criteria for PTSD, you likely have something painful in your story that can have unpredictable and distressing impact on your life in some way. This is especially true if you have addiction challenges. In order to provide holistic services, I believe a trauma informed and trauma focused approach is essential.

Katharyn Waterfield, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Trauma -- beyond the label of only PTSD, but in all of its forms and ways of being experienced -- needs to be listened to in order to be released or reconciled and integrated.

Garrison Cox (he/him)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

Master of Arts in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy

I have experience working with adult survivors of both childhood and adult trauma. I use a slow-paced framework that emphasizes somatic exploration as well as deep attention to any moments of trauma exposure within or without the therapy. I believe working with trauma is the core of the field of therapy, and that many experiences of anxiety, depression, or other forms of emotional disruption are often due to our bodies' attempts to manage un-integrated traumatic experience.

Nicole Craig (She/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

Survivors of trauma may feel as though their nervous systems are 'stuck'. I am experienced in the treatment of trauma symptoms, and will work with you to understand your own stress reactions, moving towards a life of greater ease. Together we can decide which healing modalities will work best for you.

Charlie Blackmar (He/Him)

Sarah Bond (she/her)

PsyD

I hold additional certification in trauma-informed care, and I have experience working with a variety of different types of trauma responses. I compliment traditional talk-therapy techniques with trauma-informed somatic modalities to ground safety within the nervous system.

Emma Stern (she/her/hers)

Licensed Professional Counselor

C7542

Trauma is anything that causes an intrusion upon our minds and bodies that physically and mentally overwhelms our nervous system and overrides our conscious ability to cope and process. Post-traumatic stress is a normal response to an intrusion upon one’s sense of peace and ability to cope. When working with trauma, I recognize the ways in which trauma impacts folks not as disorder, but as a survival response and mark of human resilience. I prioritize client safety and agency.

Heather Asaadi (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Trauma impacts so much! It is useful to raise understanding of how trauma reacts in the body and brain and what trauma-related beliefs you might have developed. I'm trained in Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), which helps process trauma, build more context around your trauma history, and empower you to change your narrative.

Justice Arledge LPC Associate, MS (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

master's in clinical mental health counseling

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder caused by severe trauma. This trauma could have been anything from a car accident to experiencing combat. This trauma has rewired your brain to where you are always on the lookout for things to go wrong. Therapy can help the individual suffering from PTSD by helping them through some of their emotions and thoughts.

Jessie Weisstein (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

I have been treating PTSD for over 10 years. I use a combination of polyvagal theory, EMDR and IFS to work with clients who have experienced trauma.

Mike Grant (he/him/his)

I assist trauma processing with EMDR and Brainspotting.

Laura La Rosa (She/Her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

MA, MSW, LCSW

Trauma happens. It hurts. I can assist you in identifying historical or current circumstances that have caused you pain so that you might begin the process of dis-empowering the story lines that keep you stuck. From there, I can assist you in identifying a new narrative that is affirming and that supports your well being.

G. Ravyn (Ravyn) Stanfield (she/her)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

Audra Lee

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC (OR, TX), LMHC (WA), LPCC (NM), LCPC (MT)

I have a deep understanding of the impact of stress and trauma on nervous system dysregulation and mental/emotional well-being. I have studied various neurobiologically-informed trauma approaches such as Interpersonal Neurobiology, Control Mastery Theory and the work of Pete Walker. I have a special interest complex trauma, a form of prolonged/cumulative trauma that develops within interpersonal relationships, often associated with neglect and/or adverse childhood experiences.

Sean Robertson (He/him)

Clinical Psychologist Resident

PsyD

Our past experiences can haunt us. We can get trapped trying to understand the horror that we witnessed or avoid reliving the terror we once lived. We can get endlessly lost in trying to undo those experiences or prevent any type of those experiences from happening ever again. Ultimately, the challenge of PTSD is grieving what happened in a way that helps us make meaning for our current life and future goals.

Lilly Martin (She/Her/Hers)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, QMHP

I have 6 years experience working with folks experiencing symptoms of trauma, presentations of complex PTSD, and attachment injury from unmet needs in childhood. I am drawn to supporting women in navigating through various forms of trauma, including sexual trauma, societal pressures and expectations surrounding physical appearance, abusive relationships, and conditioning surrounding caretaking and placing the needs of others above their own.

Ashley Jopling (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, CRC, LPC

I help clients with post-traumatic stress using therapies like ART, EMDR, and Brainspotting, which are like treating a deep wound. Traumatic stress is like having an old wound that never fully healed—it constantly aches and affects everything you do. These therapies work to carefully clean and heal that wound, addressing the root cause of the pain. By resolving the underlying issues, we help close the wound and alleviate the ongoing discomfort, allowing you to feel more whole and at peace.

Jennifer Stratton (She/Her/Hers)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

I am passionate about working with folks who have experienced stress and trauma in their childhood with lasting impacts into adulthood. Adverse childhood experiences alter the structure of brain which can have implications over a lifetime. Often referred to as "little t trauma" it includes chronic experiences of pain and the related impacts on development and coping with stress. Nervous-system regulation and attending to early, painful experiences are areas of focus in treatment.

Auburn Beebe (she/her)

Clinical Psychologist Resident

PsyD

I utilize a structured and evidenced-based approach to PTSD treatment called Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). This approach involves uncovering and gently challenging core beliefs that may have formed due to past trauma(s). Each session has a particular structure, so you will always know what's coming next. This approach involves some work at home on your part--but generally this is true for any therapy :)

JESSICA VAN DER MERWE (She/Her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, LMHC

Experiences of trauma include childhood abuse or neglect, abandonment, betrayal, acute traumatic experiences, or any experience that currently impacts your ability to function fully. Your history does not define you and does not have to be a life-sentence. I work with you through brain-based, body-based, and emotion-focused approaches to heal and thrive.

Nina Landey (she/they)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Your feeling of safety is paramount. We will move at a pace that is right for you to first find safety, and then reprocess traumatic memories that are affecting your life. I am fully basic trained in EMDR and Attachment Focused EMDR. Make an appointment for a consultation to see if we are a good fit and to learn more about how we can find relief for you.

Jennie Hagen (She/Her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LMHC, LPC

Trauma can comes in many different forms and affects everyone a little differently. I help people cope with and heal from trauma through validation, creating a sense of safety, and partnering together to figure out the best combination of tools to regain a sense of control over their experience. We always work at your pace and will only talk about difficult topics when you feel safe and ready.

Megan Samsel (she/her)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

MA

I work extensively with individuals experiencing complex PTSD and developmental trauma. I recognize the profound, lasting impact that trauma can have both interpersonally and on the mind and body. My approach involves supporting clients as they navigate triggers, emotional dysregulation, and feelings of shame or guilt, while helping them reclaim a sense of safety and control in their lives.

Kimberlee Harrison

CGP, CCTP-II

I have several years experience working with people who have PTSD and other trauma-related disorders.

Jennifer Wohl, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

PTSD results when the mind knows the trauma is over, but the body doesn't. Using EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing -- an evidence-based treatment for trauma) and a caring and compassionate presence, I can help you bring your mind AND body into the present moment where you can experience freedom, joy, and aliveness.

Kaijah Bjorklund (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Nationally Certified Counselor

Trauma and PTSD can impact the way you function, feel, think behave and what you believe about yourself. Symptoms of all kinds are treatable. I use a Trauma-Informed Therapy to address the psychological, emotional, relational and physical problems that past trauma can create. My approach draws from numerous sources including Neuroscience, Sensorimotor, EMDR and IFS. I offer many highly effective and evidence-based strategies and interventions for healing the effects of trauma.

Cameron Panfely (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

R10197, MS, BS

Who we are, and the way we see the world comes our our past experiences, especially those with significant people in our lives. Past trauma often serves to disconnect us from who we really are. Working with trauma is something that I am passionate about, and I bring a compassionate, non-judgemental, and caring attitude to this work. Processing through unresolved trauma, developing effective coping skills, and offering self-compassion is my focus.

Caty Buckley (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

I have been trained both in brainspotting and EMDR. I utilize those tools along with CBT, DBT, and IFS (among others) to first establish a sense of safety and then, at the client's own pace and comfort level, begin processing the challenges they are facing/have faced due to their trauma.

Robin Friedman, LCSW (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

L5164

I have many years of experience effectively helping those who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress and complex trauma. I use a variety of aproaches including mindfulness, EMDR Therapy, art, and somatic approaches.

Kendyl Watts (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Past trauma has a way of sneaking up on us, sometimes in ways we expect and sometimes seemingly out of nowhere. It can be disorienting and frightening both to us and our loved ones. You do not have to be held hostage by your past experiences. I can help you regain a sense of safety and empowerment that will have a positive impact on all areas of your life.

Andrew Conner (He/Him/His)

Marriage and Family Therapist

MA

I completed my initial training as the first male-identified person to offer therapy at the YWCA Silicon Valley Domestic Violence Support Network. I have since worked extensively with youth who have immigrated to the United States from Latin America seeking safety. My work with survivors of trauma has informed my perspective on how to help clients relate to the personal and collective wounds that we all carry.

Alisha Phillips (She/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Traumatic experiences build a system of thinking and reacting to the world, other people, and oneself in a way that prioritizes survival and safety over connection and acceptance. Many people underestimate how their present suffering is actually rooted in past trauma and toxic stress. I have completed level 1 of Janina Fischer's certification program for Complex PTSD and have over a decade of experience working in trauma intervention and recovery.

Diana Groener (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Having a lengthy forensic background, I am personally experienced with issues of vicarious trauma and burnout that many caregivers face, especially first responders. Together we will help you recover and strengthen your resilience against future traumatic exposure. I also have had many clients who are adults that were abused as children.

Kathleen Thompson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CRC

There is so much new information coming at us about PTSD. Basically, it is when we feel hi-jacked by our senses/body because of past events that were (or seemed) life threatening. These experiences can be from combat, Domestic abuse, accidents, but more often from chronic difficult childhood experiences. It is time for you to heal.

Rebeca Rocha (She/Her)

Sophie Toolanen (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

I am fully trained in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is an effective approach for shifting core negative beliefs about self and freeing you from negative effects of past trauma, whether it be single incident or complex PTSD. It is particularly effective at softening strong uncomfortable emotional reactions tied to memories of past events. My primary therapy focus the past 5 years has been trauma/PTSD.

Hanna Maxwell (she/her)

Trauma occurs when our bodies, brains, and nervous systems don’t have enough resources to cope with what is happening to us. This could be a singular event – for example, being in a car accident - but it can also result from things like a challenging childhood, emotional neglect, or an abusive relationship. Your body may be carrying these past experiences, even if you hadn’t thought of them as traumatic. We'll approach these sensations together so you can begin to experience more freedom.

Melissa Owens LPC

LPC, LMHC

I have formal training and extensive experience using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Internal Family Systems (IFS) and body oriented psychotherapies to heal the wounds of traumatic experiences. Trauma is unhealed unintegrated experience and healing is possible.

Trauma can cause a variety of symptoms and experiences that can be a distraction in your quality of life. In a therapy session, we focus on symptoms and remedies. I will not ask you to recall every detail, instead the focus is on understanding the experiences of symptoms in your daily life. For example, what it looks like, feels like, and how it causes you to respond. Together we will discover the techniques and tools that can help you specifically and reduce the intensity of your daily life.

The worst things you have gone through in your life do not define you. You do not have to struggle with them forever. I work with clients somatically and with EMDR to transform the deepest roots of trauma in your body and nervous system- places that cognitive based talk therapy and realizations cannot reach. I'll teach you practical body based tools you can use every day to feel calm, centered, grounded, alive, safe, and free in your whole being.

Most people are familiar with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), an anxiety disorder that results from a traumatic event, such as a natural disaster or car accident. Most people with trauma-related problems have experienced multiple traumas. The term, complex trauma, describes exposure to multiple traumas. It also refers to the impacts of that exposure.

Many people attend therapy due to unresolved hurts and wounds from traumatic events in their lives. I support people in healing past hurts through a variety of talk therapies, and also body-centric modalities to deeply effect change and help people move on to find joy and balance in their lives.

Stacy Sheffler (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Often the experience you are having with your mental health can be rooted in past or current trauma. Looking at how to reframe those experiences either with cognitive based trauma work or EMDR can aid in releiving the intensity of the trauma.

Lara D'Amore

Licensed Professional Counselor

I am trained in EMDR therapy, which is shown to be very effective in developing skills to regulate emotions and nervous system responses, challenge negative beliefs about ourselves, and be able to experience present safety. I work with those who have experienced single event trauma, as well as trauma related to violence, childhood abuse, attachment injury, and others.

I work gently with individuals who have experienced trauma, starting with increasing their sense of physical and emotional safety.

I am certified in Trauma-informed stabilization treatment (TIST) which integrates techniques from internal family systems and sensorimotor psychotherapy, targeting clients with severe mental health challenges. I use Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a trauma-informed somatic psychotherapy that combines traditional talk therapy techniques with body-centered interventions that directly address the somatic legacy of trauma.

Brad Poser, MS, CRC

Professional Counselor Associate

Trauma is another human condition that some folks think can be just 'wished away'. Even things that happened years ago can echo into the present. Unwanted thoughts and emotions can jump into our minds and make daily life hard to focus on. I have experience helping people come to terms with trauma. With the right skills, it is possible to make room for the past and re-enter your life.
