Do dark memories haunt you when you close your eyes? Have you tried traditional therapy to address your trauma only to fall short of your goals? Maybe it’s time for another approach. At Standing Strong Within in Eugene, Oregon, I offer PTSD counseling that honors the complexity of your experience without labels, judgment, or rigid treatment models. If you’re living with the lingering effects of trauma—flashbacks, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, or overwhelming fear—know that there is a path forward.

The Ins and Outs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress doesn’t always look the same. For some, it’s chronic anxiety, emotional shutdown, or irritability. For others, it shows up as panic, sleep disturbances, or a persistent sense of danger. You may feel disconnected from your body or overwhelmed by memories that arise without warning. These aren’t signs of weakness—they’re survival responses from a nervous system doing its best to protect you.

What Does PTSD Counseling at Standing Strong Within Look Like?

My approach to PTSD counseling blends present-moment awareness, emotional guidance, and somatic support. Together, we’ll work through the inner resistance that keeps you distant from your emotions, gently allowing the body to release what it has held for too long. Rather than rehashing traumatic stories, we focus on creating safety in the now, restoring your connection to self, and building a more grounded sense of presence.

You Are More Than Your Trauma

You have survived your trauma and are now ready to reclaim your life. Whether you’re dealing with childhood trauma, relationship wounds, or systemic stress, Standing Strong Within will meet you where you are with PTSD counseling that’s tailored to your needs.
