Trauma and PTSD
Davene, Fecteau
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPCC
Trauma can result from significant life events, or from multiple moments that pile up. Often times, clients come in for therapy to address a symptom (anxiety, depression, addiction) that is caused by underlying trauma The symptoms of trauma can be triggered in so many ways and wreak havoc on our lives. The good news is that trauma can point us to healing. I believe that when the brain and body can access resources to feel safe, trauma can be released and the nervous systems can be reset. Utilizing techniques from EMDR and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), I assist clients in accessing their inner resources in order to process 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.

Trauma and PTSD exist because of explicit and implicit memory of events that are out of the ordinary. Therapy explores the connection to both in a safe environment. Symptoms arise from these experiences that can be debilitating and exhausting. Sorting out these connections lead to healing.

I utilize prolonged exposure therapy for PTSD and TF-CBT to help clients with trauma decrease PTSD symptoms and increase tolerance around their trauma memory/experience. This allows clients to reengage into society and improves their ability to experience joy/pleasure in their day to day lives.

Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am fully trained in EMDR, and am working toward full certification. I find this therapy to be highly effective in treating issues related to trauma. Through my years working at different mental health agencies within Los Angeles County and Orange County, trauma has been one of the most common issues clients have talked to me about. Trauma can influence the way somebody thinks or feels about themselves and the world around them. These incredibly stressful events often changes our behavior and impacts our ability to function. I am also trained and certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy, and use a variety of other forms of evidence-based treatment as well.
A quick note about trauma-- these events don't have to be dramatically disturbing to have an impact on your mental health.
