Trauma Therapy

Life often doesn’t go as we expect. When our sense of safety and security is threatened in some way, our bodies and souls are affected on deep levels. For many, the desire to escape painful memories and feelings from the trauma can be overwhelming and they become vulnerable to addiction that can become enslaving. When we experience trauma, our emotional growth is stunted, but we’re not left without hope. Through some good tending of the soul we can be resilient and find healing. Then we are free to grow, and just might come out even stronger. 


Mary Ann Green, MA- LPC-MHSP, RDN, LDN is trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, two evidence-based treatment methods for processing and healing trauma. Both of these interventions are mind-body-based therapies that facilitate healing on a deep level that can lead to lasting change. They help the fight, flight or freeze response from the original trauma memory to be resolved. To learn more about EMDR, please click here. Brainspotting is a less structured and more intuitive approach that accomplishes the same goal. It involves finding the area of the brain that needs to release the trauma through eye position. You can learn more about it here.

Emily Kerlin, LPC-MHSP (Temp) incorporates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Polyvagal Theory to help clients to find freedom from destructive patterns of coping. She is certified in the Neurosequential Model of Therapy that is best used when working with individuals who have experienced severe trauma. Emily is especially experienced in working with younger adults and adolescents experiencing or who have experienced trauma and PTSD.



Madison Gentry, LPC-MHSP is trained in EMDR as her primary method for processing and healing trauma. It is designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain. When distress from a disturbing event remains, the upsetting images, thoughts, and emotions may create an overwhelming feeling of being back in that moment, or of being “frozen in time. EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories and allows normal healing to resume. The experience is still remembered, but the fight, flight, or freeze response from the original event is resolved. For many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other psychotherapies.
