How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

In my practice, I approach clients with trauma and PTSD with a combination of evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is crucial, allowing clients to explore their experiences at their own pace.

I'm a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I graduated from Walden University. I have a strong history of success in the treatment of psychiatric illness, medical and emotional illness including environmental, sociological, psychological, and physical factors of mental and emotional disorders. I focus on developing a personalized treatment plan while utilizing evidence-based pharmacological and non-pharmacological modalities to support each client. The tools that I'll provide you with are tools that I have been perfecting over my career helping people just like you. I specialize in treating psychiatric disorders including, but not limited to, Anxiety, Depression, Mood disorders, Sleep Disorder, Bipolar, PTSD and ADHD. I am direct and solution focused and works collaboratively to address any issues that are bothering you right now. I am currently accepting new patient, and short notice appointments. I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I believe that the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. I offer a complimentary 10-minute consultation session for prospective patients to assess whether my services align with their needs.

I work with clients with trauma and PTSD using a trauma-informed approach, ensuring safety, trust, and empowerment. I integrate evidence-based therapies like CBT, EMDR, and somatic techniques to help process traumatic experiences, reduce symptoms, and foster healing.

When working with clients dealing with trauma and PTSD, I employ a trauma-informed approach grounded in evidence-based techniques like Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). This involves creating a safe environment, educating clients about trauma's effects, and teaching coping strategies. We work on reframing negative thoughts, processing traumatic memories, and managing triggers. Through gradual exposure and skill-building, clients learn to regulate emotions, reduce avoidance behaviors, and foster post-traumatic growth. My goal is to empower clients to heal, develop resilience, and regain control over their lives.

Michelle is LCSW who has 10 years experience working with depression, anxiety, PTSD and trauma.

It is important to seek a therapist who can help you determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs. Trauma and PTSD is highly individual, and there is no "one size fits all" approach. Depending on the client and situation, EMDR therapy has been found to be effective for treating PTSD and other trauma-related disorders. Research studies have shown that EMDR can significantly reduce symptoms of PTSD, such as intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and anxiety. EMDR can also improve overall functioning and quality of life.

Many people look for something beyond the question, “How does that make you feel?” I hope my sessions can not only act as a sounding board, but also provide a safe space to unload, explore and develop solutions to life’s problems. While my approach to therapy is empathic and compassionate, it is also direct and directive. My goal is to help clients identify the root of potential issues and work collaboratively to construct a solution. My intention is to provide support, problem-solving skills, practical tools and coping strategies to help overcome negative patterns.

We carry trauma in our bodies. Whether we are cognizant of it or not our past experiences have shaped our responses to the world around us and how we respond to our relationships. Trauma that is left untreated is like a tangled web that traps unwanted barriers that reinforce reestablished negative beliefs. Processing this trauma help you untangle the web.
