Healing from Trauma: A Personal Journey with Joe Roller Counseling


A recent study published in the Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy underscores the profound impact of trauma on mental health, noting that “complicated grief symptoms showed minimal decline even after 12 months,” and emphasizing that “therapeutic interventions were the most significant predictor of healthy adaptation” (PMC Article). These findings resonate deeply with me, as I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of therapy in helping individuals navigate the complexities of trauma and grief.
At Joe Roller Counseling, we are committed to providing compassionate, trauma-informed therapy to adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Our approach is rooted in understanding, not judgment. We believe that every individual’s story is unique, and we work collaboratively with our clients to build personalized plans that honor their experiences and guide them toward lasting relief.
Our Services
We offer a range of therapeutic services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients:
Men Trauma-Informed Therapy: Utilizing evidence-based techniques, we help individuals process and heal from past traumas, fostering resilience and emotional well-being.
Anxiety and Depression Counseling: Providing support for those struggling with anxiety and depression, we work together to develop coping strategies and promote mental health.
Life Transitions and Identity Exploration: Assisting clients in navigating significant life changes and exploring aspects of identity to foster personal growth and clarity.
Grief Counseling: Offering a compassionate space for individuals to process and heal from loss, we support clients in finding meaning and peace.
Our Approach
We understand that seeking therapy can be a daunting step. That’s why we strive to create a safe, welcoming environment where clients feel heard and supported. As one client shared, “I was hesitant to start counseling, but he made me feel at ease from the first session. He listened without judgment and offered tools that have genuinely transformed my outlook on life.”
Another client expressed, “Seeking counseling was one of the best decisions I ever made. Joe provided a safe and supportive environment where I felt truly heard and understood. His guidance helped me navigate challenges and find clarity in my life. I am forever grateful for his expertise and compassion.”
A Personal Commitment
As a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) with over a decade of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a personal understanding of the healing journey. My background as a U.S. Navy veteran and my experience in developing trauma-focused programs inform my empathetic and effective approach to therapy.
If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. Together, we can work toward reclaiming peace and moving forward with confidence.

Joe Roller Counseling
Hi, I'm Joe Roller. I'm a trauma counselor because I believe in the power of healing — and I know how important it is to have someone walk alongside you through it. For years, I've been helping individuals who are carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, depression, and life’s tough transitions. My approach is simple: create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. Together, we'll work at your pace, using proven techniques that help you process what you've been through and build the life you want moving forward. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all model. Every person’s story is different, and your counseling experience should be, too. Whether you're working through the effects of past trauma, feeling stuck in grief, or simply trying to manage everyday stress, I'm here to help you reconnect with your own resilience. I offer both in-person sessions and secure online counseling, so you can get the support you need in a way that feels right for you. Healing is possible — and you don’t have to do it alone. If you're ready to take that first step, I'm ready to walk with you.
