Kim Muse
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, CCTP-II
1 Endorsed
Frisco, TX 75033
Additionally, I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional-II, completed the 2017-2018 Certificate Program in Traumatic Stress Studies and am fully trained in EMDR.
Making the choice to attend to personal or relational healing is an act of courage. The courage to show up. The courage to be seen in all the beautiful, difficult and complex parts of being human. As a fellow traveler on the road to growth, we all need help along the way. The stigma of counseling is, thankfully, moving aside and making way for us to create purposeful living as well as strong, secure relational bonds that have far reaching benefits for couples and families. I have a collaborative and humanistic approach to co-creating an environment where you feel safe, seen and honored.

Helping adults heal from trauma, rebuild self-esteem, and create healthier relationships in a safe, supportive space.

Sean P Mishra
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMCMH
Frisco, TX 75034
I work with clients who may be struggling with their trauma related to their military service, relationships, or family.
I believe that everyone has a right to live the life that they desire; however, life does not always work out as we hope. We cannot predict the events that will happen to us or how they will impact our lives. However, we can choose how we will respond to those events. As a therapist, I have the opportunity to be a partner as you work to improve your life. I believe that education, practical application, evidence-based techniques, and a focus on measurable outcomes are the fastest ways to achieve the client’s goals. I think that therapy should be as brief as necessary, with a primary focus on helping the client achieve their goals.

With over 25 years of clinical experience, I am well versed in several scientifically based treatment modalities (cognitive behavioral, interpersonal process, trauma informed, and feminist/multicultural).
Along the journey of life, we will encounter joy, connection, laughter, and a true zest for living. At times, however, we may also experience pain, heartbreak, and an inability to find our light. As a result, our lives may feel disjointed and difficult to navigate. It is during these times that the support of a knowledgeable and caring professional can assist you in reconnecting with your purpose, inner strength, and potential for embracing a rewarding life. The decision to seek help can feel overwhelming yet also be an opportunity to discover how to break negative patterns and find new solutions.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.

How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.

What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.

Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
