How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

I am a queer, neuro-divergent, disabled Latina who values social equity. I often bring my quirky humor into the therapy room, while also being adaptable to my individual clients’ needs and personalities. My personal interests include nature, gardening, being active outdoors, and spiritual reconnection with my indigenous culture. My counseling approach is de-colonial, strengths-based, and rooted in relational cultural therapy. I believe human growth occurs through safe, mutual connections, while honoring a person’s cultural experience through individual and broader systemic lenses. By the same token, I believe diagnosing holds its value and utilize evidence-based diagnosis when appropriate. I integrate counseling interventions to fit my clients’ needs. I have experience utilizing CBT, ACT, DBT, attachment theory, somatic therapy, and expressive therapy, such as art and gardening. I am a 2SLGBTQIA+ and neuro affirming counselor. I work with teenagers, adults, and children (case-by-case basis). I have extensive experience working with individuals with eating disorders (especially binge eating and those with varied disordered eating habits). I also work in the areas of trauma, ADHD, adult autism, anxiety, depression, bipolar, life transitions, identity exploration, and disenfranchised grief/loss.

I've been a licensed clinical social worker for over twenty five years, and in that time I've learned that most people don't come to therapy because they want to talk about their problems. They come because they're ready for something to actually change. My training is in trauma, and EMDR has been a core part of how I work for a long time now, but the bulk of my practice is with women navigating a major shift, dating again after years out of the field, going through a divorce or a breakup, becoming a mother, working through midlife issues, or dealing with work related stress and burnout. I also work with couples who are trying to figure out whether they can rebuild something or whether they're ready to move on, and either way, want to do it with more clarity than they came in with. What tends to set my work apart is that I never treat a person's background, whatever it is, as separate from what's actually going on with them clinically. That comes out of years spent developing a real depth in Jewish cultural competency the psychological impact of antisemitism , work I also train other clinicians and organizations in, but the underlying skill is the same no matter who is sitting across from me, understanding the full context someone is carrying and working with it, not around it. I've been in private practice since 2008. If you're looking for someone who takes what's going on seriously and has the years behind her to know what actually helps, I'd be glad to talk.

I’m Dr. Ashley Bujalski, a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood difficulties, low self-esteem, and challenging life transitions. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely understood while also developing practical tools to help you feel more confident, grounded, and in control of your life. Growth and change are key to positive well-being. I’m Dr. Ashley Bujalski, a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood difficulties, low self-esteem, and challenging life transitions. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely understood while also developing practical tools to help you feel more confident, grounded, and in control of your life. My approach in therapy is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship that is supportive and nonjudgmental. Together, we will identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop healthier ways of coping, and work toward changes that feel meaningful and sustainable. I recognize that no two people experience anxiety, trauma, depression, or life transitions in exactly the same way. Treatment is therefore tailored to you rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

A dedicated counselor passionate about helping women become the healthiest versions of themselves. I provide empathetic and evidence-based care to help clients achieve mental, emotional, and relational wellness. I specialize in a range of mental health conditions, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression using a combination of talk therapy and expressive arts therapy. My goal is to empower women to live healthy, fulfilling, and meaningful lives.

Life’s challenges—anxiety, depression, stress, and difficult relationships—can leave you feeling stuck. While these struggles can feel overwhelming, meaningful change is possible. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Nourish Within, working with teens, college students, young professionals, and adults. I specialize in eating disorders, body image concerns, trauma, and mood and anxiety challenges. My passion for this work comes from both professional training and lived experience, including my own journey with an eating disorder and depression, which allows me to approach therapy with compassion and understanding. My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based, integrating CBT, ACT, DBT, ERP, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART uses guided eye movements to support trauma relief, helping the brain process distressing experiences—many clients noticing improvement in as few as one session. I also provide psychoeducation and support for families. I have experience across residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient levels of care, giving me insight into how mental health affects both daily functioning and overall quality of life. If you’re feeling stuck or ready for change, I’m here to help. Together, we can work toward clarity, confidence, and a life aligned with your values.

A dedicated psychiatrist with over ten years of experience in psychiatry. I provide compassionate and evidence-based care to help patients achieve mental wellness. I specialize in a range of mental health conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD, using a combination of psychotherapy and medication management. My goal is to empower individuals to live fulfilling lives.

I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and the founder of Ash & Bloom Wellness, an integrative psychiatry practice serving adults across North Carolina by telehealth and in person in Raleigh. My work blends careful diagnostic assessment, evidence-based medication management, and practical lifestyle, sleep, and stress interventions so treatment fits the whole person rather than a single symptom list. Clinically, I focus on depression, anxiety, bipolar spectrum disorders, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, and co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns. I provide buprenorphine (Suboxone) treatment for opioid use disorder and harm-reduction informed care for alcohol and other substance use, and I work comfortably alongside therapists and primary care clinicians as the medication management partner in a client's care team. I am doctorally prepared, hold national certification in psychiatric mental health care, and teach in graduate psychiatric nursing education, which keeps my practice current and grounded in the evidence. Visits are unhurried, collaborative, and free of judgment. You can expect clear explanations of your options, honest discussion of risks and benefits, and a plan you help build. New clients can start with a brief consultation to see whether we are a good fit. Private pay and insurance options are both available, and prescriptions are managed responsibly with attention to long-term function, not just short-term relief.

I believe that we are all wired for connection and that our relationships deeply shape how we understand ourselves, others, and the world around us. When connection feels uncertain, unsafe, or threatened, we often develop ways of coping that help us protect ourselves and maintain a sense of safety. While these strategies may have served an important purpose at one time, they can sometimes become patterns that leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or unfulfilled. My work is centered on helping clients explore these patterns with curiosity, compassion, and care. I offer a depth-oriented approach that supports clients in building greater self-awareness, understanding their emotional world, and reconnecting with their authentic selves. Together, we create space for healing, integration, and new ways of relating that feel more grounded, meaningful, and fulfilling.

Welcome! I’m Mandy, founder/clinician at Solstice Integrative Psychiatry. I believe that true mental wellness goes beyond symptom management—it requires looking at the whole person, including your mind, body, and unique life story. My approach blends clinical expertise with thoughtful, compassionate care to help you find clarity, emotional balance, and sustainable well-being. Whether we are building a personalized treatment plan or working together on medication management, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel genuinely heard. Outside of practice, I enjoy spending my time on the sidelines cheering on my 2 favorite soccer players, going camping, snuggling with my dog, and volunteering with Scouting America.

My areas of focus include relationship and communication concerns, emotional disconnection, betrayal and affair recovery, anxiety, self-worth, breakups, complicated family relationships, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, and the challenges that come with becoming a parent. I take a relational approach to therapy, which means we look at the patterns, experiences, and relationships that shape how you respond to the people and situations in your life. Therapy isn’t about blaming yourself or someone else. It’s about understanding the cycle, making sense of your experience, and figuring out what needs to change. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you start therapy. You just need a place where you can be honest about where you are and begin figuring out where you want to go.
