Laura Katz
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Because the profound effects of trauma, complex trauma and PTSD can impact our sense of trust and ability to feel safe in our own bodies, collaboration is key. We will work together toward gaining awareness around safety, building resilience, and understanding your physiological responses to trauma. One of the modalities I use is Brainspotting, a brain-body based therapy that uses the visual field to process trauma.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma, and the potential diagnosis of PTSD, can stem from a variety of experiences. Sometimes it is acute trauma, a singular event, forever burned within our being, that follows us in everything we do. Sometimes it is complex or chronic trauma, a series of events or exposures that eventually broke down our ability to remain intact of body, mind or spirit. Trauma can be healed. The parts of ourselves that were harmed can be welcomed back within the larger self, forgiven. The scars will always be there, there is no time machine that can change what has happened. Yet with integration, we can rebuild our inner world to something whole, and alive.

Gwen Grigsby
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Traumatic experiences can include anything from a single event to a collection of smaller experiences that have a lasting impact. The effects of trauma can leave us with a shattered sense of self, relational difficulties, and emotional distress. I use a specialized therapy called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to address the past, improve current functioning, and build confidence about the future.
