Trauma and PTSD therapists in Mill Valley, California CA
Molly Schmidt
Therapist
Trauma and PTSD are responses to distressing or deeply impactful events, often resulting in intrusive memories, avoidance behaviors, mood changes, and heightened arousal. As a therapist, I provide compassionate support and utilize mindfulness techniques and other evidence-based interventions to assist clients in processing their experiences, developing coping strategies, and restoring a sense of safety and control. Through therapy, individuals can embark on a journey of healing, resilience-building, and reclaiming their well-being after experiencing trauma.

Dr. Glenn Francis
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
Human beings probably predominate on the planet because we are so easily traumatized. We are an adventurous and creative species, and we find ourselves in unique situations never before seen, all the time and over and over again. And we get hurt in those situations, and then we tend to stop growing. We can heal – starting with talking with someone about what troubles us, and how it troubles as, and discovering that we are not ill, but hurting and afraid – and that can change.

Robynne OByrne
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have treated many adult survivors of abuse, many of whom suffer from PTSD. Anxiety, depression, substance abuse and sleep disorders are extremely common among survivors of trauma. Somatic oriented therapy, combined with analytic psychotherapy and hypnotherapy where appropriate is extremely effective at helping clients heal the psychic wounds that stem from trauma and abuse.

I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The links between trauma and achievement spotlight the success stories of people who've endured difficult pasts. Through resilience and resourcefulness, some persevered and found success as an outlet for improving self-esteem. How else could you have filled the void of highly critical, emotionally unavailable parents? The trouble is that success may be tough to integrate and truly celebrate as your own, no matter how impressive your resume gets. Fortunately, recovery from trauma is very possible and with time, can foster post-traumatic growth which leads to a more fulfilling life and meaningful relationships. My clinical approach includes Internal Family Systems which explores how different parts of you protect and serve you. Trauma-Focused CBT also helps unravel core-beliefs that may complicate your relationship with yourself, your ability to trust others, or see the world as a safe place.

Jessica Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
The body is wise and holds so much of our trauma until we are ready to feel safe and ready enough to explore it. Often we hold pain and overwhelm in our bodies from childhood. We need to slowly explore our pain through the body and emotional experience, allowing whatever energy is ready to move, move. Inner child work is particularly powerful here.
