Trauma‑Informed PTSD and C‑PTSD Therapy in Hawaiʻi, Illinois, and Washington

I’m Dr. Allison Aosved, a licensed psychologist providing trauma‑informed, evidence‑based therapy for adults in Hawaiʻi, Illinois, and Washington. I specialize in PTSD, Complex PTSD, trauma‑related disorders, betrayal trauma, anxiety, and chronic stress, offering care that is collaborative, validating, and grounded in the best available science.

My approach integrates Prolonged Exposure (PE), Accelerated PE, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Accelerated CBT, the Unified Protocol (UP), and Accelerated UP, delivered through a trauma‑informed lens that centers autonomy, cultural humility, and psychological safety.

I also partner with organizations to strengthen trauma‑informed systems of care through PE training, consultation, accelerated program development, CBT/UP clinic development, and implementation facilitation.

My work is rooted in clarity, compassion, and the belief that healing is possible with the right support.

Welcome to Thrive Psychology

As a trauma-informed psychologist in Hawaiʻi, I support adults facing the emotional impact of stress, trauma, and betrayal. If you’re here, you may be dealing with anxiety or fear that feels easily triggered. As a result, you might get pulled back into painful memories, even when you don’t want to. In those moments, it can feel like the experience is happening all over again. You may also find yourself blaming yourself for what happened or how you responded. At the same time, you might long for closeness yet pull away because of past stress, trauma, or betrayal.

Trauma-Informed Psychologist in Hawaii

I’m Allison Aosved, and I help adults in Hawaiʻi, Illinois, and Washington work through stress, trauma, and betrayal. For many people, these experiences create patterns of self‑doubt, withdrawal, or avoidance. They may also lead to painful cycles of anxiety, worry, sadness, guilt, anger, or shame.

What I Bring to Individual Therapy

With more than 20 years of experience, I work as a trauma‑informed psychologist in Hawaiʻi, Illinois, and Washington, supporting adults as they process the emotional impact of stress, trauma, and betrayal. I specialize in evidence-based treatments for trauma and anxiety. My approach is science‑backed, time‑limited, collaborative, and tailored to your identities, culture, and values. Learn more on my About page.

What I Bring to Organizational Work

I partner with organizations, teams, and leaders to strengthen trauma‑informed care and improve psychological safety. In this work, I support workforce wellbeing through program development, implementation facilitation, and training in evidence‑based psychotherapies like Prolonged Exposure (PE) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). With more than two decades in complex systems, I help organizations build sustainable and culturally responsive practices that support both clients and the people who serve them. See my For Organizations page to learn more.

Growth and Change

Together we can support healing and change. For individuals, this may mean reclaiming your life from trauma, stress, or betrayal. For organizations, it may involve strengthening psychological safety and trauma‑informed care. In both cases, you can move toward a way of living and working that feels grounded, connected, and meaningful.

What I Offer

I am board certified in Behavioral & Cognitive Psychology (ABPP), which reflects advanced training and peer‑reviewed expertise in evidence‑based care. Consequently, I provide science-backed therapy for trauma, anxiety, betrayal trauma, and PTSD, along with accelerated therapy options for people who want focused, intensive support. In addition, I partner with organizations to build trauma‑informed systems and strengthen staff well‑being.

Who I Help

I work with adults of all genders and backgrounds seeking trauma‑informed, culturally grounded care, including people navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, relational trauma, and identity‑based stress. Additionally, I support leaders and teams working to create safer, more responsive organizational cultures.
