Clayton Therapists specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Katy Stevener

Life can get overwhelming. We have all gone through times when we have felt pressure to do more or be more than we think we can manage. This kind of unrelenting stress can lead to anxiety, depression, burnout and relationship problems. I know as I have lived it and therapy changed my life. I came to counseling as a second career after experiencing significant loss in my life and am passionate about supporting others who may be experiencing something similar.

River Dowdy

I have specific training trauma-focused psychotherapy and complex trauma.

Justin Hampton

I have a particular passion and specialty in working with the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) population. I also enjoy helping clients cope with depression and mood issues, self-criticism/ shame, anxiety disorders, trauma, life changes, social discontent, grief/loss, and illnesses/conditions such as HIV/AIDS. I'm Sex-Positive, Kink-Aware, and Supportive of "Alternative" Relationship Structures. I work with all ages of adults- individually and within relationships.

David M. Harris

When you want a breakthrough, but just don't know how; when you are suffering, distressed, or just seeking personal growth/coaching, performance training, or couples counseling, I am the provider you need. I help you identify and develop your personal strengths while also identifying fears, hurts, or other factors that create limits to well-being. I will help you develop a positive design plan for committing to healthy behaviors and to promoting overall well-being.

Yoshiko Hall

We may be a good fit for each other if any of the following statements describe you: • You’ve been struggling with your relationships with your family and/or friends. • You have a hard time saying no to others, and want to learn how to set appropriate boundaries. • You want to connect with yourself and come to a deeper understanding of who you are, and what you desire in life. • You live between cultures and can’t seem to find the middle ground.

Suzanne Rapisardo

Is your mind going constantly? Do you feel like you should be able to relax, focus, and enjoy your life, but instead are feeling overwhelmed and defeated? The people I work with are intelligent, motivated, and also incredibly frustrated. They are ready to work through old trauma, limiting beliefs about themselves, difficulties with attention, and worry, but doing it on their own just isn’t working.

Salina Schmidgall

I work with those wanting to feel more confident in managing their stress and anxiety and those who are wanting healthier happier relationships. I work to empower clients so they build their self-confidence and feel strong enough to handle their healing journey. Together we explore your past, present, and future to understand where you have come from and where you want to go. Together we will lighten the burden your carry on your shoulders.

Brian Bachman

I work with PTSD through using EMDR a research-proven technique. It is exhausting to have to look over your shoulder constantly, to be sent from 0-10 instantaneously by a sound, noise or smell. PTSD is the brains way of saying, "something is bothering me; I need to deal with this!" There is no shame in having PTSD, it's your bodies persistent and loving way of something happened and it's inviting you to take care of yourself.

Kelly Storck

My primary interests are working with trans and non-binary children, youth and adults. I provide individual therapy and assistance with gender care needs, including gender identity exploration, disclosures, family/partner relationships and social/medical/surgical transition options. Although a large part of my practice is devoted to work around gender, I continue to work with the larger LGBTQ+ community, survivors of trauma and folks looking to foster greater emotional wellness.

Stephanie Dunn

Do you struggle with feelings of persistent anxiety and depression? Are you having difficulty moving past previous trauma? Or maybe you feel trapped by the pressures of abiding by societal norms? Learn how to accept yourself for who you are, not compare yourself to others, grow in confidence and strength, and write your own story.

Angela Sastry

If you are feeling stuck in a pattern but want to move forward into a new joy-filled, healthy lifestyle, I would like to help you achieve this goal. I work with clients who want to discover their true potential and strengthen their unique capacities.

Kristen Hood

If you have been feeling off for a while now and may need help figuring out the reason behind your feelings of anger, anxiety, or sadness, I would love to come along side of you and help make sense of your feelings and experiences. If you are worried about a loved one, especially an adolescent or young adult, I would love to engage them in a therapeutic process that they will find relief and enjoyment from.

Abigail Green

Do you often feel stuck in your relationship? You care deeply for your partner, but you may argue constantly and struggle to feel connected. I help couples make the changes necessary to feel connected again, as well as create a more satisfying future. I also work with individuals who have been traumatized, helping you heal when you decide to face your truth, challenge years of silence, and are empowered to take control of your story.

Melissa Anderson

I work with individuals, 18 and older, who are often exploring gender and sexuality, experiencing transitions of all kinds, and facing complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and chronic stress. I enjoy working with all sorts of people, especially undergrad/grad students and LGBTQIA+ folks. I know reflecting on our behaviors, thought patterns, and life experiences can be really difficult, and I’m committed to supporting you through that process.

Camielle Famous

Hi There! I help couples who want relationships they can actually enjoy. We live in a world of fabulously filtered families and carefully curated couples that can lead to #relationshipgoals overload. Have you found yourself one too many times crying instead of laughing at a post that hit too close to home. Maybe it’s the Superstar Students. Perhaps it’s Patty & Patrick Perfect who are wearing your last nerve. I get it. Its not that you don't have it together, things are just off...
