How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

I work with trauma and PTSD using a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and collaboration. Together, we explore how past experiences may be affecting your current thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Treatment is tailored to your unique needs and may include evidence-based approaches that help process traumatic experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and support emotional healing. My goal is to help you regain a sense of control, resilience, and connection while moving at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.

I am the Founder and Owner of Aloe Integrative Psychology Group, where I provide compassionate, relationship-centered care rooted in curiosity, empathy, and respect for each person's unique story. My path to psychology was anything but traditional. I began my academic journey studying English Literature, drawn to the power of stories and the ways people make meaning of their experiences. Later, I worked as a cross-cultural educator in Brazil, where I developed a deeper appreciation for human connection across diverse backgrounds and perspectives. At Aloe Integrative Psychology Group, I strive to create a thoughtful and collaborative therapeutic space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with a deep respect for each individual's lived experience, helping clients navigate challenges, foster self-understanding, and move toward meaningful and lasting growth.

When working with clients experiencing trauma and PTSD, I focus on creating a safe, supportive, and emotionally grounded space where healing can happen at a pace that feels manageable. We begin by understanding how trauma is affecting daily life, including mood, sleep, relationships, anxiety, hypervigilance, or emotional overwhelm. I help clients build coping tools to improve stability and reduce distress while also exploring treatment options that support long-term recovery. For some clients, that may include medication management as part of a broader care plan. My goal is to help clients feel more secure, regain a sense of control, and move forward with greater confidence and emotional balance.

I work with trauma and PTSD using structured, evidence-based treatments that help clients safely process what happened instead of only managing symptoms. Depending on your needs, I may use EMDR, Written Exposure Therapy, Image Rehearsal Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Army veteran, and founder of Mindful Point Behavioral Health Counseling — a telehealth trauma practice serving adults across New Mexico.My work centers on evidence-based trauma treatment for veterans, active duty service members, first responders, and adults navigating the lasting effects of difficult experiences. I specialize in EMDR, Written Exposure Therapy (WET), and Image Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) — structured, research-backed approaches that go beyond managing symptoms to actually process what happened. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) runs throughout my work as a values-based framework for building a meaningful life even while difficult emotions are present.

Trauma processing is important because unprocessed trauma can live in both the mind and the body long after the event has passed. Trauma can show up as chronic stress, anxiety, tension, fatigue, sleep issues, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Processing trauma helps the nervous system release stored stress, reduce emotional and physical symptoms, and create a sense of safety in the body. When trauma is healed, people often feel more grounded, calmer in their relationships, and more connected to who they truly are.

I work with clients with trauma and PTSD through a trauma-informed, collaborative, and unhurried approach to care. I begin with a thorough psychiatric assessment to understand how trauma symptoms may be showing up, whether through anxiety, depression, hypervigilance, fear, grief, or difficulty feeling like yourself after a life-threatening medical experience. I provide diagnosis and medication management when appropriate, using shared decision-making so treatment feels supportive and personalized rather than overwhelming. Although I focus on medication management, I also work closely with therapists and other members of a client’s treatment team to support interdisciplinary care. My goal is to help clients feel believed, understood, and equipped with evidence-based treatment that can ease trauma and PTSD symptoms over time.

I provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults across Texas coping with the emotional aftermath of cancer, chronic illness, ICU stays, surgeries, and other life-threatening medical experiences. Many people feel blindsided by symptoms like fear of recurrence, scan-related anxiety, hypervigilance, grief, anger, or feeling misunderstood. This is medical trauma—and it is real. I offer trauma-informed assessment, diagnosis, and medication management in unhurried, collaborative sessions grounded in shared decision-making. As both a clinician and a two-time breast cancer survivor, I understand how medical trauma impacts identity, relationships, and daily life. My goal is to provide a space where you feel believed, supported, and equipped with evidence-based care and genuine understanding.

Trauma processing is important because unresolved trauma does not just disappear. It shows up in our bodies, our relationships, and the way we see ourselves. When we process trauma, we are not reliving it to make it worse. We are helping your nervous system realize that the threat is no longer happening. That creates space for you to respond instead of react, feel more grounded, and move forward without the past constantly running the present.

Hi my name is Nekea (nuh-key-yah). As a woman of color, I understand how the different parts of “who we are”, our experiences, identities, and relationships, shape the way we see and move through the world. I strive to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and real, where you can show up fully without judgment.

I work with clients with trauma and PTSD through a compassionate, steady, and individualized approach. I begin by creating a safe, confidential space where you can feel heard without judgment. Together, we look at how trauma may be affecting your mood, sleep, anxiety, relationships, concentration, and overall sense of safety. Because I am trained in psychiatric care and medication management, I can also assess whether symptoms such as panic, depression, nightmares, irritability, or sleep disruption may benefit from medication support. My goal is not to rush your healing, but to help you feel more stable, understood, and equipped with tools to manage symptoms while moving toward greater peace and emotional strength.

My approach to trauma and PTSD is trauma-informed, compassionate, and paced according to each client's needs. I recognize that trauma impacts both the mind and the nervous system, so treatment focuses on creating safety, building emotional regulation skills, and helping clients understand how past experiences continue to influence present thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behaviors. Using approaches such as Narrative Therapy and Brainspotting, I help clients process difficult experiences, challenge shame-based beliefs, and develop healthier, more empowering narratives about themselves. Throughout the process, I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where healing can occur at a pace that feels manageable and sustainable.
