Welcome to my profile! I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a profound depth of experience in the field of mental health.

My experience in this field has provided me with deep experience with a comprehensive understanding of various mental health disorders.

Establishing an environment of safety and security is of primary importance in working with clients experiencing trauma and PTSD. This includes building a therapeutic relationship built on trust and authenticity. Like anxiety, working with clients struggling with trauma and PTSD means understanding that the nervous system is working to keep you safe, but it's become over sensitive and sees danger everywhere. There are many techniques that can be utilized to help calm the nervous system. I am also trained in EMDR which is a highly recognized and scientifically supported therapy for trauma and PTSD.

Hi there, I'm Heather Kaminski, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and a Certified Trauma Professional. I am trained in EMDR, ACT, DBT, Grief Counseling, Religious Trauma, and hold a certification in NLP.

I understand that dealing with trauma and PTSD can be difficult and overwhelming. As a psychologist, I've dedicated my doctoral training and career to learning evidence-based practices for trauma-informed care and psychological treatments for PTSD. It can be challenging to find a therapist who knows when and how to apply different interventions for trauma, as exposure techniques and other treatments may not be appropriate for every case. As your therapist, I'll work with you to find the best treatment options for your unique situation. I specialize in helping people heal from religious trauma, but I'm here to support you regardless of the nature of your trauma. During our therapy sessions, I'll provide a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can share your experiences and explore how trauma has affected different areas of your life. Together, we'll work at a pace that's comfortable for you and use treatments that fit your individual needs. Overall, my goal is to provide empathetic support as you work towards healing from trauma and PTSD. I'm here to help you navigate the healing process and find a path to recovery that's right for you.

Working with clients who have experienced trauma and PTSD requires a sensitive and trauma-informed approach. Establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic environment is paramount. I begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment to understand the specific traumas, triggers, and symptoms they are experiencing. This assessment helps inform the treatment plan. I employ evidence-based techniques such as trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address the underlying trauma. These approaches help clients process and reframe traumatic experiences in a supportive and controlled setting. Additionally, grounding and mindfulness exercises are incorporated to help clients regulate their emotions and manage distressing symptoms. Psychoeducation about trauma and its effects, as well as coping skills for managing triggers, are provided. It's important to approach the work at the client's pace, allowing them to reclaim a sense of control and autonomy over their own healing journey. Regular check-ins, ongoing support, and flexibility in the treatment approach are crucial for ensuring the client feels heard, validated, and empowered on their path towards healing and recovery.

I treat various patients, including ages 5 and up, and all socioeconomic ranges. I aim to provide my patients with whatever they need through our outpatient programs. I embrace a holistic approach to the care I provide to my patients.

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.

Childhood trauma occurs when we experience or witness negative events we aren’t prepared for or don’t have support in recovering from. This might look like physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, neglect, substance abuse by a parent or other adult, witnessing violence or abuse toward someone else in the home, or not having our basic physical and emotional needs met. Growing up with trauma or toxic family dynamics makes us more likely to experience stress and anxiety later in our lives. Survivors of such situations are more likely to suffer from chronic illnesses, have difficulty with attention spans, struggle with academic or professional performance, and have difficulty coping with stress. There is a ton of healing that is done just by telling our story. Often we see symptoms reduce significantly after getting it off our chests. Realizing you’re not alone also helps, and knowing that others who have experienced what you have experienced have healed lets us know it can be done. Working to process trauma includes looking at the common effects, relationship dynamics, and behavioral patterns we often see in those that have undergone trauma. We work to realize it's not what's wrong with you, but what happened to you. In addition, processing trauma includes identifying and interrupting triggers and planning a course of action to set new patterns and behaviors in place.

Now scheduling in person and telehealth sessions. Help is available for symptoms of anxiety and depression, working through past trauma, managing perfectionism, improving communication with others, relationship concerns, navigating workplace dynamics and more. We specialize in complex trauma/CPTSD.

Typically I start off with focusing on the coping skills from breath work, TF-CPT to grounding techniques to CBT skills in order to decrease the symptoms reported. In addition I provide validation, understanding and normalizing their reactions to the event experienced. I allow for the client to discuss the incident on their time and terms and utilize a trauma narrative when the client is ready to process.

Trauma and PTSD can be deeply affecting, impacting not just your mental health, but also your body, relationships, and overall sense of safety in the world. If you're living with the effects of trauma, it can feel isolating and overwhelming, but please know that healing is possible. You are not alone, and together we can work toward reclaiming your sense of peace, safety, and empowerment. My approach to trauma healing is holistic, gentle, and client-centered. We’ll work at your pace to ensure that you feel safe and supported as we explore the impact of trauma in your life. The process may take time, but each step is a step toward healing and reclaiming your life. Here’s how we can work together on your healing journey: Creating Safety and Trust: One of the first priorities is creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for you. Trauma often disrupts our sense of safety, so I make sure that every session is built on trust and respect for your experience, ensuring you feel in control of your healing process. Somatic and Body-Based Approaches: Trauma lives in the body, and its effects are often felt physically—tension, numbness, hypervigilance, or exhaustion. I use somatic therapy techniques, breathwork, and body-awareness practices to help you reconnect with your body in a gentle and healing way, releasing the stored tension and emotional energy that trauma leaves behind. Processing and Integrating the Trauma: We’ll explore the trauma at a pace that feels right for you, helping you to process and make sense of your experiences in a safe environment. I use trauma-informed methods that honor your experience and avoid re-traumatization. Mindfulness and Grounding Techniques: Trauma can cause a sense of being disconnected from the present moment. I’ll teach you grounding exercises, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques to help you stay centered and calm, especially when flashbacks or anxiety arise. These tools can help you feel more grounded in your body and in the present. Cognitive and Emotional Processing: We’ll work to identify and gently challenge any negative thought patterns or limiting beliefs that arose from your trauma. Together, we’ll develop healthier ways of thinking and coping, helping you to shift the impact of trauma on your mental and emotional well-being. Safety in Relationships: Trauma can affect how we relate to others, creating feelings of distrust, isolation, or fear. In our work, we’ll explore how your relationships may have been impacted and how to rebuild healthier, more supportive connections with others. Building Resilience: Healing from trauma is not about “forgetting” but about building resilience, reclaiming your sense of agency, and integrating your experiences into your story in a way that empowers you. We’ll work on strengthening your inner resources, self-compassion, and coping skills so you can move forward with confidence. Healing from trauma is a journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone. I’m here to guide and support you with patience, understanding, and care as you move toward a life that feels more whole, safe, and grounded.
