Quinn Knox
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, Trauma-Informed
As someone who has experienced quite a bit of trauma and PTSD I have worked with various counselors and experienced a number of treatments (EMDR, CBT, DBT, etc) to help me dissipate these feelings and have trauma-informed training to help clients suffering with the same issues.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Something bad happens, nothing good follows, and everyone pretends it's okay. This simple series of events can lead to lasting emotional and physical symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms make us feel crazy. Let me assure you, you are not crazy and you are not alone. I am trained in a trauma treatment technique called eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), that can allow for integration of traumatic memories into one's healthy and coherent narrative. I would be honored to provide you a safe space to work through the painful experiences that just won't seem to go away.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In navigating the healing journey from trauma and PTSD, my practice honors the profound insight that healing transcends the physical and psychological realms, reaching deep into the spiritual fabric of our being. Guided by Peter Levine's understanding that trauma's impact is less about the events themselves and more about what we hold inside without an empathetic witness, I integrate a spiritual lens that enriches the therapeutic process. This approach is not only about storytelling and witnessing but also involves the sacred work of soul retrieval—reclaiming the pieces of the self that were lost or disassociated in the wake of traumatic experiences.
Specializing in childhood trauma, complex trauma, and PTSD, I offer a compassionate, spiritually informed space where individuals can explore and articulate their deepest wounds and embark on a path of profound transformation. This journey is about giving voice to the inner child's silenced pain and facilitating soul retrieval, which empowers healing at the most integral levels of one's being. By incorporating spiritual practices and perspectives, I help clients connect with their inner wisdom and the universal energies that support their healing process.
For parents navigating the dual challenges of healing their trauma while breaking cycles of pain, my approach provides not just therapeutic support but spiritual guidance, aiding them in reparenting themselves and fostering a healing environment for their families. Echoing Maya Angelou's words on the agony of untold stories, my aim is to ensure these stories are not only heard but deeply seen through a spiritual lens, facilitating a healing process that leads to liberation, soul retrieval, and a reconnection with one's authentic self. This holistic, spiritually enriched approach invites individuals to reclaim their story, their spirit, and their path forward, embodying resilience and renewal.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I approach the delicate areas of trauma and PTSD with a deep sense of empathy and understanding, recognizing the profound impact these experiences can have on an individual's life. By employing a holistic and integrative strategy, including Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I provide a supportive environment where clients can safely explore and process their experiences. Mindfulness encourages a non-judgmental awareness of the present moment, helping to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. EFT serves as a tool for managing emotional responses, while IFS offers insights into the multiplicity of the self, fostering internal healing. CBT helps in challenging and changing unhelpful patterns of thought related to trauma, and Role-pPlaying can be particularly effective in rehearsing coping strategies and building confidence in handling triggering situations. My role is to guide and support you through your healing journey, offering compassionate care and tailored therapeutic interventions to help you navigate the complexities of trauma and PTSD, with the goal of fostering resilience, recovery, and a return to a sense of safety and well-being in your life.

Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma affects our lives in many, many ways. There are complex traumas which occur when an individual endures ongoing, long-term and repetitive abuse of some nature- be it physical, sexual or emotional. Simple traumas, while limited to a single event, are just as devastating for the emotional well-being of the patient. Trauma can be debilitating, lead to addictions, cause unconscious behavior patterns, be completely repressed, and significantly impact our interpersonal and familial relationships.
My therapeutic approach to trauma, offers a nurturing, systematic, and comforting methodology that quietly explores the nature of the trauma in a safe and gentle environment.

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. Feel free to read up on this article, which explains the rising understanding about the wide spectrum of traumatic experiences: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/trauma-and-hope/201703/different-types-trauma-small-t-versus-large-t

Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I haven't met a client who couldn't benefit from some degree of healing from trauma, whether relational, developmental, systemic, big T, complex trauma, PTSD... we all carry trauma in varying degrees until we're able to integrate it. My work is trauma informed, with a foundation in somatic psychotherapy which is needed for lasting results - trauma impacts the body as well as the brain. If you ignore the body in therapy the thoughts and emotions may improve for a time, but the patterns of constriction that impact the body will remain and sooner or later the distressing thoughts and emotions will return. I also draw on EMDR, neurobiology, energy psychology, self-compassion, mindfulness and other modalities. My work is compassionate yet direct and results driven.
