Getting to know Dr. Jenny Bannister

I work with high-functioning adults navigating trauma, PTSD, chronic stress, or church hurt that shows up in sleep, irritability, emotional distance, or relationship strain. Many are used to pushing through, but something isn’t working anymore. They want real relief—not just insight. I use structured, evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE) to target the thoughts and behaviors keeping trauma stuck, helping you feel more in control, reconnect in relationships, and move forward with clarity. I specialize in evidence-based trauma treatment, including CPT, PE, and Trauma-Informed Guilt Reduction (TrIGR), which like EMDR, are highly effective but more directly target the thoughts or behaviors that keep trauma stuck. I also offer Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Therapy (CBCT) for PTSD, a trauma-focused couples therapy that strengthens relationships. You may be used to handling things on your own—but trauma has a way of sticking, even when you’re doing your best to move forward. If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or worn down, you don’t have to figure it out alone. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule to see if this approach feels like the right fit.
