How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

As a National Board Certified Counselor(NCC) since 2000, Licensed Mental Health Counselor(LMHC in FL) since 2002, and Licensed Professional Counselor(LPC in GA) since 2021, I help people by facilitating positive changes in their lives. In my own private practice, I help my clients who are dealing with depressive symptoms, anxiety, life stressors, adjustment and relationship issues by assisting them in identifying the thoughts and behaviors that are keeping them stuck(and/or preventing them from moving forward) in order to overcome struggles/obstacles and reach their full potential.  I'm currently accepting new clients for tele-therapy sessions and offering some evening and weekend hours. Please feel free to request a free 10-15 minute consultation if you have any questions or concerns. Utilizing  techniques associated with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(DBT), Person Centered Experiential Therapy, Solution Focused, Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy(REBT), Reality Therapy, etc… I hope to provide: 1) Psychological contact including feeling like you are being heard, 2) Professionalism, 3) Unconditional Positive Regard, 4) Empathy, and  5) Genuineness.

Hi, I'm Camila. I'd like to congratulate you for seeking support. Exploring couples therapy can be really scary - especially during tough times in our relationships - and the fact that you’re here looking for help is real proof that you have more strength and courage than you know. My mission is to help couples build a stronger foundation of trust and intimacy, and I'm committed to helping you and your partner make that a reality. I consider myself a warm, transparent, and very intuitive therapist. I will meet you both where you are with compassion, kindness, and curiosity, no matter how long you choose to stay in couples therapy. With that being said, I will also present perspectives that will challenge you and stretch you. Growth requires change, and if we want our relationships to change, we must be willing to be challenged and take risks. I pledge that in our work together, we will create a space for you and your partner to be as fluid as you need to be and as defined as you hope to be. This is an opportunity for growth, and I'd love to be part of your journey!

Hi, I'm Amanda 'Mandy' Schramm! I have been working in the field for eight years and providing therapy for three. I have a Bachelors and Masters degree in Psychology from Sam Houston State University as well as a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University. I have many years of experience working with adolescents in residential settings as well as inpatient settings. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults to help them navigate through life (it definitely doesn't come with a handbook!) and meet them where they are. One size does not fit all in counseling, so I pull from different approaches to provide clients with a unique experience tailored for them.
