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.

PTSD/Trauma
Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
Complex trauma and CPTSD stem from more than just events in our adult years. These are usually foundational from early developmental trauma and childhood trauma, and can be worked with and healed at any age.
Trauma is not only what happened to you. It is also how those experiences continue to live within the body and nervous system long after events have passed. Using a gentle, body-centered approach, we'll work at a pace that feels safe - restoring connection, resilience, and the freedom to live more fully in the present.
Therapy helps restore safety, connection, and the capacity to move forward without remaining organized around survival. You will learn how to reparent the little ones inside and have an easier relationship with yourself and your body.

Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Acknowledging an event as traumatic is scary, and it can be easy to minimize our past experiences particularly when we feel "fine". Yet one may experience a variety of mental health symptoms and/or patterns which may feel uncomfortable or interfere with various life areas. These patterns likely helped you survive the traumatic experience, yet continued despite no longer being needed. I have over 15 years experience in treating symptoms of trauma and PTSD in children, adolescents, and adults. I utilize an integrated approach, incorporating psychoeducation, parts work (IFS), EMDR therapy, mindfulness and CBT to support clients of all ages with processing the traumatic experience and integrating adaptive information and new, more effective patterns.

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.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
PTSD requires lots of patience as the individual in treatment learns to interact with the world again. Traumatic experiences shut down everything in the person's mind/body, and in their social interactions, and create a lot of isolation. To counter all this, I recommend a unique program for each patient that includes talking at least twice a week, micro-stimulation to develop new pathways in the brain, supplements to heal the brain, music therapy (see Steven Halpern), sleep therapy, and the creation of "flow experiences" to strengthen the person's sense of self. Trauma is not easy to turn around, But, over a consistent period of time, expressing one's emotions and following a set routine (including the above), will always lead to healing.

Monica Thoelke
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Treating Trauma and PTSD is a multidimensional process that involves elements of Exposure therapy or Cognitive processing therapies joined with Somatic or body based approaches. My trauma treatment approaches have evolved from studying multiple methodologies for processing, giving space to and releasing trauma triggers. Healing and transformation take place at multiple levels.

Jennifer Masters
Life Coach, Ba Psychology, CF Thanatology, D Kessler – Grief Grief Coach Certif,M Devine – Grief Coach Certif
Traumatic grief can happen when a death is sudden, unexpected, violent, unexplained, or impossible to make sense of. This may include losses connected to suicide, overdose, accidents, homicide, sudden medical events, or deaths where the cause or circumstances feel unclear. Any death can feel traumatic, but traumatic grief often carries an extra layer of shock because the person was here, and then suddenly they were not.
I support adults navigating traumatic grief, including the fear, confusion, anger, guilt, unanswered questions, looping thoughts, and emotional overwhelm that can follow this kind of loss. When a death feels random, preventable, unclear, or deeply unfair, the mind often tries to search for reasons, blame, facts, or something that will make the loss feel less unbearable.
As a certified grief coach, I help clients understand why traumatic grief can feel different from other grief experiences. I acknowledge and normalize what they are thinking and feeling, explain these reactions in plain language, and offer practical tools to help manage triggers, intrusive thoughts, overwhelm, guilt, anger, and the search for answers after a traumatic or unclear death.
