If you're reading this, you might be carrying a weight that feels heavier than you can manage. You've survived so much, but survival can leave your nervous system in a constant state of alert, making it hard to simply be in your life. This isn’t a flaw in your character; it’s the lasting effect of complex trauma (C-PTSD).

​Perhaps you experience constant internal anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or a deep sense of shame that blocks genuine connection and makes you feel fundamentally unsafe. You might be wondering: Can I truly feel better? Can my body finally relax?

​The answer is yes. Healing complex trauma isn't about forgetting the past; it’s about finally teaching your body and mind that the danger is over.

​I'm Ray Marshall, LPCC-S, and through Cuppa Coffee Counseling LLC. I offer specialized trauma therapy, delivered entirely online across Ohio. This means you can show up exactly as you are, with your favorite warm drink in hand, to do the tender, profound work of rewiring your system and reconnecting with your whole self. We create a gentle, contained space for a life that feels authentic, regulated, and truly your own.​You don't have to navigate this alone anymore.

​➡️ If you're ready to explore a gentler way of being, click here to schedule a free, confidential 15-minute consultation. Let’s talk about finding your path to peace: www.cuppacoffeecounseling.com

Ever feel disconnected from yourself, your body, or the world around you? This feeling of unreality or detachment is called dissociation, and it's a very common way our minds and bodies cope with overwhelming or traumatic experiences. It's not a sign of weakness; it's a powerful survival strategy.

But what happens when that survival strategy keeps you from fully living? The good news is, you don't have to stay stuck.

With years of specialized training in trauma-informed care, EMDR, and parts work, I can help you understand and heal the root causes of your dissociation. My approach is direct and compassionate, providing a safe space for you to reconnect with yourself and find a sense of wholeness.

You are not broken. Healing is possible.

Ready to start your journey toward feeling more present? I'm here to help. Contact me today to schedule a consultation.

Ever feel like you’re carrying around a backpack full of rocks that you can't put down? That heavy feeling, those moments where you suddenly feel overwhelmed, or the way you react to things that other people might not—that could be your body and mind's way of dealing with past trauma.

Trauma isn't just about big, dramatic events. It can come from a lot of places, and it shows up in a lot of different ways. Maybe it's a constant feeling of anxiety, a struggle with trusting people, or even just a sense of being on edge all the time. It can feel like your past is always in the room with you, influencing your present.

The good news? It doesn't have to stay that way. Healing from trauma is a process, and it's one that can lead to feeling lighter, more in control, and more at peace. My job as your therapist is to create a safe, understanding space where you can unpack that backpack, one brick at a time, at your own pace.

Ready to start the journey toward healing? Let’s grab a virtual coffee and talk.

Alright, fellow weirdos and wonderful humans of Ohio. Is your brain running on 47 open tabs, fueled by iced coffee and a vague sense of impending doom? Cool, you're my people. 🧠✨

That constant feeling of "am I doing this right?" or the burnout that feels less like a phase and more like a personality trait? That’s not a you-problem. It’s often just old, glitchy programming from past stuff.

As a therapist, my job isn't to "fix" you—because you're not broken. My specialty is trauma, which is basically being a brain detective. We’ll find the source of the glitches, untangle the wires, and get your system running smoothly again. I'm not the "smile and nod" type. I'm the "let's get in there and figure this out together" type.

I'm officially accepting a few new clients for virtual therapy in Ohio. If you're ready for therapy that's as unique as you are, let's chat.

Does your trauma look like this? Let's talk.

Feeling like you constantly have to say "yes" to everyone else? 🤔 You might be experiencing people-pleasing tendencies. While it can feel good to help others, consistently prioritizing their needs over your own can lead to burnout, resentment, and a disconnect from your own desires.

It's okay to set boundaries and prioritize your well-being. Learning to say "no" is a powerful step towards self-care and building healthier relationships.

Are you ready to explore how to shift away from people-pleasing and towards a more authentic you?
