Hello! My name is Dr. Megan Smith. I am a National Board Certified, licensed professional counselor. I received my PhD in May 2020 in Counselor Education and supervision from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Processing trauma can often seem daunting, and can feel very lonely. Trying to find the right counselor can further intensify those feelings. It has been my honor and privilege to have worked, as a counselor, with clients who have survived trauma since 2017. I believe that if you want a counselor who can provide a safe environment to process trauma while encouraging healing, then you are in the right spot!

Are your relationships feeling strained due to spiritual trauma or different views? Do you feel depressed or anxious because you no longer feel like you have a place to belong? Many people, including LGBTQ+ people and their allies, have experienced some sort of religious trauma , spiritual deconstruction, or an overall disenchantment with church and religious institutions and find themselves disoriented and alone. Like you, my clients have struggled, sometimes feeling as if they can’t be their authentic selves, feeling pressured to be a people-pleaser and afraid of the consequences if they don’t. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

As individuals, we navigate through life with the tools that were handed to us through our family systems. Sometimes that's not enough to keep us on course for what we desire out of life. Relationships can be complicated, depression can be isolating, and anxiety can be crippling. Breaking free from the chains that mental health binds us to can be the most liberating feeling, why not try it out?

I also utilize EMDR to address trauma that is possibly impacting your daily life.
Having a baby is a huge life transition individually and for the family. Change can happen in an instant but navigating your personal transition in response to that change takes time so it is important to nurture yourself through pregnancy and postpartum. During the perinatal period, anxiety can feel overwhelming especially if you are having scary thoughts and difficulty regulating emotions. You are not alone and at times motherhood is hard. It's okay to make yourself a priority and be mindful of what you are feeling and needing. When we take care of ourselves, we are then better equipped to be there for others in our life.

Anxiety takes many forms: stress, worry, PTSD , panic, OCD, perfectionism. Anxiety is feeling so overwhelmed that you feel paralyzed to even try anything. Anxiety is that surge of pounding heart when you’re speaking in front of a group of people. Anxiety is feeling terrified to take a leap of faith due to fear of failure or getting hurt. I could go on and on... If you have experienced this, you are not alone. Contrary to popular belief, courage is NOT the absence of anxiety. Courage is being afraid and doing it anyway. I help people overcome anxiety by enhancing courageous living, however that is defined by YOUR goals and values.

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.
