How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

Hi, I am Dominique (Dom) Proctor. I am a licensed social worker and have experience providing therapeutic services to children, teens, and adults. I offer both individual and couples counseling. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Ohio University in 2020m and worked as a case manager and bachelor’s level therapist. I then attended Indiana Wesleyan University, where I earned my Master of Social Work. Man has been avoiding the consequences of our choices since the beginning. Human beings attempted to cover up their own mistakes and faults by human effort alone. Whether it is AA meetings, self-help programs, or other means of recovery, most of these programs only touch one aspect of a person. A person is made up of mind, body, and soul. Therefore, we need healing for all three elements of a person, not just one. I enjoy working with people to help heal these facets and make progress toward recovery. When helping individuals with their therapeutic goals, I pull from several different modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I also offer Christian counseling services to those seeking the incorporation of their faith into treatment. I enjoy helping those who have been hurt by the church. I work as an inpatient therapist at SUN Behavioral in Columbus, Ohio, and as an outpatient therapist. In addition, I am part of the NACSW ( North American Association of Christians in Social Work) and the BLEXIT movement.

The Compassion Practice is a Manhattan-based private practice and training center. We strive to meet our clients’ needs through a combination of evidence-based practices, careful client-therapist matching, and a genuine human connection.

Howdy there, and welcome! My name is Courtney Yergin, and I’m a clinician with over 12 years of practice, licensed LISW-S in the state of Ohio and LICSW in the state of Alabama. I have experience working with adults, teens, and families in individuals, couples, hospitals, communities, and residential settings. My style is compassionate and nonjudgmental, which seeks to empower YOU. Treatment is a vulnerable space where you deserve to feel safe, heard, and valued. Your goals are my goals and will be tailored to treat your struggles and augment your strengths. I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, adjustment, eating disorders, substance use, and personality disorders. I believe it is paramount to understand how your brain, body, and behaviors have been impacted by stress. Throughout treatment, I utilize evidence-based practice interventions, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Compassion Focus Therapy (CFT). I’m passionate about lending a hand to help you understand, seek out, and practice solutions to achieve your own advancement. What’s next for you? Let’s find out together!

Hello! I am Loreta De Zuniga-Bandiera MSW,LSW, OIFP II (she/her) I am a licensed Social Worker. I received my undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Education at Pacific Oaks University, and a Master’s degree in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University. I began my career in teaching in schools, and have experience working with parents to advocate for their children’s mental health in school. I specialize in working with children, teens and families with complex trauma. I am certified as a Child and Family Practitioner in the state of Ohio. I have experience working with children as young as 3 years old who have experienced trauma. It is never too early to begin talking about mental health with children. I also work with teens struggling with depression, self-harm, and eating disorders. I am a LGBTQ+ Ally, and have experience guiding children through their journey of gender identity. I use a play-based client centered approach tailored to each individual or family. I take a non-conventional laid-back approach to therapy, using Art, and Yoga in my sessions to improve symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD. I practice EMDR both in person and via telehealth. I am taking children, and teens who could benefit from this therapeutic approach. I also offer psychotherapy services in Spanish.

After a prolonged period of struggle, you're prepared to get the help you need. How can one, however, locate a therapist in Minnesota that they can truly rely on? Trust is a major key, along with clicking with your therapist, in order for therapy to work. Hi, my name is Diane Cerven, and I became a Licensed therapist in Minnesota because I saw desperation for further assistance and pain wherever I looked. I enrolled in 2002 in a master’s program in Counseling as I started working with people with anxiety and marital issues. I realized as I was going through that program so many people need help in their marriages and within themselves. Even to the point that many people don’t realize they have anxiety. I've gotten advanced training in marriage counseling, especially with communication. These are not sessions that you argue for an hour, stir things up, and try to put the pieces back together until the next session. I am very skills and solution focused. The same for anxiety counseling. I keep on top of the latest ways to help people best reduce or even eliminate their anxiety. If you want freedom from anxiety, we’ll walk that journey together. I have the skills and tactics that truly work, regardless of your personality—whether you are talkative, strong and silent, or whatever life events you have experienced. In addition, I'll either alter the course or recommend you somewhere if what we do doesn't work. Beyond anything else, I want you to truly heal, go forward, and lead a happy, fulfilled life. If you want to move forward in your journey by decreasing anxiety or improve your marriage, I’m here to help. It’s time for a compassionate ear, big heart, and the know how to get you to your best self. I also offer Christian counseling for those who want it. All sessions are online for your convenience. When calling our office please ask to have sessions with Diane.

I am a creative arts therapist, trained in Psychological Counseling, Expressive Therapy, and Music Therapy. I have been working with clients in different settings, including inpatient psychiatry, school, and private practice since 2003. I use music, the arts, talk therapies, and mindfulness practices to help my clients deal with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life transition, grief and loss. Through my empathetic and client-centered counseling programs, I will help you find inner growth, self-awareness, focus and structure in your life. Are you feeling down and depressed because of seemingly insurmountable challenges in your personal or work life? As a music therapist and licensed creative arts therapist, I can offer you a unique opportunity to transform your life through music and the arts in ways that will uplift and encourage you to overcome issues that are hampering your progress. I aim to build a safe and therapeutic space for you to explore your day-to-day life experiences, emotions, and thoughts through creative processes that will enable you to achieve your lifetime goals and establish structure, purpose, and contentment in your life. We will work together to develop mechanisms to cope with issues and bring about positive change. I am an in-network provider for Cigna and 1199SEIU

NOPE. Not doing it anymore… after going through the usual motions of your everyday routine, you decided that you deserve more! You deserve to be free from the wounds of your past and to live a life of contentment. Unfortunately, “healing” isn’t always sunshine and rainbows; rather, it’s our choosing to dance in the downpour. And grow our flowers in the rain (actually, that one was a joke… I can barely keep a succulent alive – true story – but you get the idea!) You’ve decided that you are ready to heal the wounds of your past. Great! But now what? HOW do I do that? Well, there are many ways to begin healing. Some include healing in a physical sense (known as somatic healing), others emphasize mental and emotional healing, and some focus on spiritual healing. While I collaborate with clients to create a plan that works best for their goals, I work from the philosophy that an integrative approach (healing that encompasses mind, body, and spirit) provides the best opportunity for root-level healing. Providing my services via telehealth, I (virtually) come to you to provide encouragement and support for this process to occur. With that being said, I am only an assistant in this journey… you guide this process, at your pace, and in the direction you desire. I am equipped with various tools, knowledge, and therapeutic types/approaches (such as EMDR Therapy – yes, the eye movement thing) that can be individualized to meet your needs! My goal, as your counselor, is to assist in your growth and healing. There will be moments of mountain-conquered success, frustration in the valleys, and rocky bumps along the way, but what matters most is the intentional, daily desire to continue on this healing journey… regardless of the terrain. I have my hiking boots on and am ready to walk with you, whenever you are ready. I am looking forward to connecting with you soon! :)
