​Hilary and her team provide services to clients within workers' compensation and personal injury systems. They provide evidenced based psychotherapy to clients who have developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). They are also trained in best practices and admissibility standards for medical record documentation, diagnostic and treatment reports, deposition, and expert testimony for legal proceedings and litigation surrounding an accident/injury. ​
EMDR and Brainspotting Therapy
Bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tactile, or auditory stimulation) creates interhemispheric communication and multiple regions of the brain communicate with each other. When our brain's get "stuck" in a trauma response, our frontal lobe has difficulty processing emotions. Eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting quickly breaks through "stuck" processing (or trauma looping), disrupts ruminations and obsessive thought patterns, and allows the brain to access new insights. 

Neuroplasticity helps the brain break old trauma responses and develop new ways of coping. We reintegrate the traumatic experience with openness, compassion, and self-love. Hilary and Mary are EMDRIA (EMDR International Association) trained therapists.

EMDR and Brainspotting bypass cortical reasoning and work with the body's intuitive wisdom to reprocess, reintegrate, and release emotional traumas. 
Somatic therapies access the brain's limbic center.
Concussion, Brain Injury, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Traumatic Brain Injury expert, David Arcinegas, MD believes to address disorders of mood and affect following TBI, "counseling, education, and psychotherapy to improve self efficacy and self regulation are appropriate initial treatment modalities." [1]

Hilary Morris and her team have 10 years of experience working with patients who have experienced a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and subsequent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They have helped patients and their families understand, accept, and adjust to life after mTBI. They help clients recognize triggers, label emotions, and decrease stress levels around their traumatic event. Additionally, they help clients unpair the conditioned stimulus with the conditioned trauma response (panic, nightmares, flashbacks) using somatic and desensitization therapies.

Post-Traumatic Stress and Emotional Trauma
Julie Gottman (a therapist and co-founder of the Gottman Method) defines trauma as "something we can not prepare for." A traumatizing event occurs when we become overwhelmed past our normal emotional threshold. As a result, we become highly sensitized to evocative cues ("triggers") in our environment that mimic the initial traumatic event. Hilary and her team use protocols and a theoretical orientation outlined by subject matter experts in the field of emotional trauma and post-traumatic stress, Dr. Francine Shapiro, Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk, Dr. David Grand, Dr. Peter Levine, and Dr. Bruce Perry. ​
They use a combination of the following methods to desensitize and reintegrate traumatic experiences (single event traumas, car accident, sexual trauma, combat trauma, military trauma, first responder trauma):
  • Biofeedback with Somatic Focus
  • Stress Inoculation Training (SIT)
  • Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Exposure Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Brainspotting Therapy
  • Mindfulness
