Specialized PTSD & Trauma Care for Injured Workers

Trusted Support for the Professionals Who Guide Their Recovery.

Your Specialized Trauma Psychologist for the Injured Workers You Serve

Life can change in an instant.

A workplace accident, serious injury, traumatic event, assault, or unexpected crisis can leave more than physical injuries behind. Long after the immediate event has passed, an injured worker may still be struggling with fear, anxiety, hypervigilance, sleep disruption, panic, painful memories, or PTSD that makes it difficult to recover, return to work, or feel like themselves again.

This is where Dr. Murrell does some of his most important work.

For four decades, Dr. Murrell has helped people living with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, and panic disorders move beyond the symptoms controlling their lives and regain a sense of calm, confidence, and control.

Over time, that expertise also led to a growing role within workers’ compensation.

Working alongside nurse case managers and other workers’ compensation professionals, Dr. Murrell has seen firsthand how significantly psychological trauma can affect an injured worker’s recovery and how valuable it can be for case managers to have a trusted psychologist who understands both trauma treatment and the complex workers’ compensation environment.

Today, Dr. Murrell focuses his practice on workers’ compensation referrals for individuals experiencing PTSD, trauma, and related anxiety following workplace injuries and traumatic events.

As a licensed psychologist and EMDR specialist with extensive experience treating complex trauma, his goal is simple: help injured workers get better and return to a sense of normalcy, clarity, and calm while making it easier for the professionals managing their care to connect with the specialized psychological and administrative support they need.

Continuing a Longstanding Commitment to PTSD & Anxiety Care

Although Dr. Murrell's practice is now focused primarily on workers’ compensation referrals, this work represents a continuation—not a departure—from the patients and conditions he has treated throughout his career.

PTSD, trauma, anxiety, and panic remain at the heart of his clinical expertise. Committed existing and longtime patients will continue access to care and this website will continue to provide treatment approaches, EMDR content, and valuable educational resources.
