We Are Experts Who Help Heal You From Trauma
We are a team of licensed psychologists and social workers who understand how deeply trauma can affect a person's life. For many people, the effects of trauma do not simply fade with time. Reaching out for help, especially when discussing painful experiences, takes real courage, and we approach that responsibility with care and respect.
If you are struggling with the lasting effects of trauma, you may experience intrusive memories, emotional numbness, anxiety, or a constant sense of being on edge. Our team provides specialized trauma-focused care designed to help the brain safely process and release distressing memories. We offer evidence-based therapies including EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Ketamine Therapy, and supportive group therapy. By addressing both the psychological and neurological effects of trauma, we help patients move beyond survival mode and towards lasting recovery.
Many of our patients come to us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward after traumatic experiences. Through careful evaluation and individualized treatment planning, we work with patients to identify the patters trauma has created and help them rebuild a sense of safety, stability, and emotional regulation. We have guided many people through this healing journey, and we would be honored to help you do the same.
Our goal is to help you reclaim your sense of safety
and move forward with confidence.

What our patients have to say...
Stephen
My doctor surprised me. He has a gift not only of compassion, he has an uncanny ability to zero in on the complex, unique ways your brain works and how this affects one's life. I have always fought depression. It has crippled my life, like so many others. The shame and self hatred, the burden I was to any who knew me. With a change of medication by my doctor's care and knowledge, my life has greatly improved. I reconnected with a part of myself I didn't even realize was missing. I am so thankful."
Chelsea
"My psychiatrist listened intently in our first session, taking careful note of details that even I thought insignificant. He is extremely intent on finding the correct diagnosis, and does not jump to conclusions until he has really gotten to know you. My psychologist was also extremely accommodating and attentive. She collected an enormous amount of information from me, my relatives, my spouse, and from different tests, eventually compiling it all into exactly the detailed, empirical report I wanted. The staff is responsive, the office is gorgeous, and every conversation I've had with one of the doctors has been very comfortable. Bottom line: If you want a healthcare provider who listens, takes a comprehensive account of your mind, and is not impulsive in prescribing a treatment plan, choose these folks. Their efforts have given me immense relief from many problems that I considered immutable."
Joseph
"I've been seeing my doctor for almost four years now. He has been instrumental in my recovery and progress through some very difficult situations in my life. He understands medicine very well and communicates articulately also utilizing common sense and best practices. He is perceptive and has a good memory. He is most importantly ethical and has integrity. I trust him. I value his advice and his opinion. With his guidance and help as a medical professional I continue to grow and achieve despite life's curve balls. I highly recommend Atlas Psychiatry to anyone committed to addressing their mental health.
