Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
I have specialized training in trauma treatment, including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, which views trauma as something deeply rooted in the body and nervous system. In our work together, we focus on safety, pacing, and understanding the coping strategies your system has developed in response to overwhelming experiences.
Trauma can leave people feeling fragmented, disconnected, or stuck in patterns of dissociation or reactivity. Using somatic awareness and parts work, we learn to track these responses, build regulation tools, and develop a more compassionate and empowered relationship with your experience.

Amita Khare
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma takes a physical and mental toll on a person. Trauma can render you tied up in a knot, unable to get free. Children experience and understand trauma differently from adults. They do not have the vocabulary to express their distress, so they act out. If your child is experiencing difficulty sleeping, have nightmares, being emotional and hypervigilant, therapy can be very helpful in reducing symptoms. I use play therapy, art to help children express their thoughts and feelings and teach them coping mechanisms to calm down, relax.
Trauma in adults looks a bit different. You might feel hopeless, helpless, unable to stop the flashbacks and nightmares. It might be hard to work or maintain relationships. It might result in substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, or risky behaviors. Don't wait to get help. You can break free from trauma and live a happy, satisfying life.

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.

Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
You may carry the effects of trauma even if you don’t always think of your experiences as “trauma.” Many people living with complex trauma struggle with anxiety, shame, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, relationship difficulties, hyper-independence, or feeling constantly on edge. Often, these patterns began as ways to survive difficult environments or relationships.
Healing from trauma is not about forcing yourself to revisit everything at once. In our work, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe while helping your nervous system learn that the past is not happening now. Together, we can work toward greater emotional regulation, healthier relationships, deeper self-understanding, and a stronger sense of safety within yourself.

Amy Price, AMP Family Therapy Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Having worked with clients of all ages and stages of life who have experienced trauma, I have trained in EMDR therapy to help. I find EMDR to be extremely efficacious and limits the length and amount of therapy most clients need to do. Symptom relief is vital and EMDR can help tremendously with that. We carry trauma in our body. As a compassionate helper, I want my clients who have experienced trauma to understand their body's responses so that they can notice, identify and stop triggers from sending their nervous system awry.

Alejandra Kenia Ipina
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma can be from a single incident or from various events across time. Changing the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us. You may be feeling disconnected from your body, feeling shame, or anger without fully understanding whether you are responding to the present moment or the past. Through somatic therapy we can explore the moments you feel blended to bring clarity, release stored grief or tension to help you live in the present moment.

Stephanie Morfitt, LCSW More Fit Mental Health
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When the Past Still Feels Present
You may know, logically, that a painful experience is behind you — yet your body and mind don’t always agree. A sound, a tone of voice, or even a smell can suddenly bring back the rush of fear, shame, or helplessness. Trauma can make you feel like you’re living in survival mode, constantly alert, exhausted, or detached from yourself and others. Healing from trauma isn’t about “getting over it.” It’s about helping your brain and body learn that you are safe again.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT combined with the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) to calm your nervous system, rebuild trust in your body, and process painful memories at a pace that feels safe. Together, we’ll:
Understand how trauma reshapes the brain and body’s threat response
Learn grounding tools to bring the body back to the present moment
Release shame, guilt, and self-blame that often follow trauma
Rebuild a sense of safety, strength, and connection in your daily life
Transform survival skills into sources of resilience and wisdom
Our work focuses on restoring balance — helping you feel more in control, more connected, and more alive. Healing happens not by reliving the past, but by reclaiming your power in the present.
I BELIEVE:
Trauma changes how we survive, not who we are.
Safety and connection are the foundation of healing.
Your symptoms are not weakness — they’re evidence of strength and adaptation.
You can feel safe in your body again.
Compassion, not confrontation, is what restores the nervous system.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff

Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Traumatic events are, sadly, common. What determines whether someone develops PTSD often has less to do with the event itself and more to do with what happens afterward—especially whether they had support or were left alone in the aftermath. One of the most powerful elements of trauma therapy is breaking that original aloneness: having another person bear witness in a safer, regulated way.
Trauma lives in the body and nervous system. Many parents who are deeply committed to ending cycles of violence are shocked to find themselves reacting in ways they swore they never would. Under stress or overstimulation, unprocessed trauma stored in the nervous system can resurface, driving reactions that feel out of character and hard to control.
I use an integrative approach to treating trauma and PTSD. EMDR, for example, can help reconcile the gap between what someone knows intellectually and what they feel emotionally. A survivor of sexual abuse may understand cognitively that it was not her fault, yet still carry deep shame. EMDR supports the integration of that knowing so it becomes embodied and emotionally real. Brainspotting works directly with trauma stored in the nervous system and body, targeting the physiological states where overwhelming experiences are held. By accessing these deeper layers, it often brings meaningful insight and relief without relying solely on talk.
IFS approaches trauma with compassion for protective parts—such as dissociation—that developed to help someone survive. Rather than pathologizing these responses, we understand their purpose and gently help clients release self-punishing beliefs or repetitive reenactments that once felt necessary but no longer serve them. ISTDP helps release unconscious rage, guilt, and grief tied to those loved ones who caused harm—allowing for greater freedom and relief from longstanding defenses that perpetuated suffering.

Hilary Stokes
Therapist, PHD, LCSW
We experience trauma when the stress or fear of threat overwhelm our system and we are not able to consciously process everything that is happening. Our instincts take over and our nervous system goes into survival mode to help us deal with the situation. This is a process known as neuroception, where we assess risks and react via our primal instincts. This looks like the part of our nervous system that is capable of survival and takes a primary role and we either fight, flight, freeze, appease or collapse in response to what is happening. Our rational thinking brain takes a back seat to let our instinctual emotional brain take over. Once we experience an event as traumatic, our nervous system makes it difficult to get out. The part of our brain responsible for memory of details, time, space and basic facts becomes far less active and our sensory memory takes over. We can lose track of the details making it challenging to recall what happened after the fact. The traumatic experiences get stored at a sensory, visceral, and often nonverbal level in our implicit memory. We may experience this at more of an unconscious level making it difficult to fully process at a more cognitive or conscious level.
These memories tend to get suspended or stuck in time leaving a residue of unresolved distressing energy. This puts a lot of stress on the mind-body system, is exhausting and inevitably is not sustainable. Healing as a result requires accessing the implicit memories that exist outside of our ability to verbalize and rationally process our thoughts about what happened. Brainspotting, EMDR , somatic therapy and other mind body therapies known to access implicit memory networks are vital to healing. They help move memories from an unconscious and unresolved state to a more conscious and adaptive state.

I see trauma in a broad sense- any experience that was too overwhelming to process in the moment and is stored in the body/mind. Gently, we can integrate and find freedom from these experiences.
