IEMT Trauma Therapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht., NLP, I.E.M.T., B.T.P, Adv-EFT., CBT Specialist
IEMT is uniquely effective for trauma because it doesn’t require talking about the details. It quickly disconnects the emotional overwhelm from the memory, making the past truly feel like the past. Flashbacks and emotional hijacks are common with PTSD. IEMT works by rapidly reducing the charge behind those memories, helping your mind stop reacting as if the danger is still present.

Cindy Lee Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I specialize in working with adults experiencing trauma and PTSD, including symptoms such as intrusive memories, emotional reactivity, avoidance, hypervigilance, dissociation, and difficulty feeling safe in relationships or in one’s own body. Trauma can result from a single overwhelming event or from repeated or developmental experiences that shape how the nervous system responds to stress over time.
My approach is trauma-informed, paced, and focused on resolving symptoms at their root rather than only managing them. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to help process traumatic experiences in a way that reduces emotional intensity and supports integration. These modalities work directly with how trauma is stored in the brain and nervous system, allowing for meaningful change without requiring you to repeatedly relive distressing material.
I also integrate nervous system regulation and attachment-based work, with a strong emphasis on establishing internal safety, increasing capacity for emotional tolerance, and rebuilding a sense of stability and trust in self and others. Therapy is carefully paced and collaborative, with attention to maintaining regulation throughout the process.
Many clients come to me feeling stuck in survival responses that persist long after the trauma has ended. Through this work, clients often experience fewer trauma symptoms, improved emotional regulation, and a greater sense of groundedness, safety, and connection in daily life.

Holly Hoffman, PsyD, Psychotherapy
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist in CA & NY
There are some things that regular talk and behavioral therapy can not get at. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help us to shift where things are stored in our brain so that we don’t feel our past wounds as much in our body. EMDR does not make us forget but helps us to see things differently, at a bit more of a distance, so that we can change our views of ourselves and move forward with our lives. I have received EMDR myself and an a big proponent of it. EMDR is not just for PTSD it can help with any unhealed wounds. Other therapies can feel like putting band aid on but EMDR gets to the root so you are no longer triggered by it.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Specialized support for trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), developmental trauma, attachment trauma, racial trauma, medical trauma, religious trauma, identity-based trauma, intergenerational trauma, and the impacts of systemic oppression, marginalization, and chronic invalidation. This work is particularly attuned to the experiences of neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC, multicultural, and other multiply marginalized individuals whose trauma often exists at the intersection of personal experiences and larger social systems.
My approach integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, polyvagal-informed practices, mindfulness, parts work, expressive arts, neuropsychotherapy, attachment-focused work, and liberation-oriented healing. Rather than asking what is wrong with you, we explore what happened to you, what happened around you, what happened within you, and the ways your nervous system, body, relationships, and sense of self adapted in order to survive.
Trauma often lives far beyond conscious memory. It is carried in the nervous system, muscles, breath, sensory experiences, patterns of tension, hypervigilance, perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-functioning, shutdown, dissociation, emotional overwhelm, chronic self-monitoring, difficulty resting, difficulty trusting, or a persistent feeling of being disconnected from yourself, your body, or your needs. Many of these responses reflect the intelligence of a system that learned how to survive under difficult circumstances rather than evidence that something is wrong with you.
This work invites a deeper understanding of the body's role in both survival and healing. Through attention to sensation, emotion, movement, breath, imagery, nervous system states, and the wisdom held by different parts of self, space is created for greater regulation, flexibility, self-compassion, and choice. Healing is not approached as fixing, erasing, or becoming someone different, but as gently reconnecting with the parts of yourself that may have been hidden beneath protection, adaptation, or survival.
As a multiply marginalized clinician whose work is informed by both professional expertise and lived understanding of trauma, culture, gender, neurodivergence, disability, chronic illness, and systemic oppression, I recognize that healing is rarely about symptom reduction alone. It is often about reclaiming connection to your body, your voice, your needs, your culture, your values, your relationships, your joy, your interests, your communities, and your capacity to move through life with greater authenticity, agency, and self-trust. The goal is not to return to who you were before trauma, but connecting with safe-enough states and reclaiming connection to self, community, embodiment, joy, agency, and the parts of you that existed long before survival became necessary.

Brandon Guin
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Traumatic experiences can leave us paralyzed and pessimistic about our future. It doesn't have to be that way. I have training in using EMDR, an evidenced-based approach to treating trauma and PTSD. This approach helps the mind and body process what has happened while decreasing the risk of re-traumatizating the individual. In this manner, the individual is able to access internal and external supports and resources for the mind and body that may not have been available during the traumatic event or events.

California Center for Change
Psychologist, PhD
Many people who struggle with addiction are also carrying the weight of experiences that were never fully processed, childhood wounds, losses, or events that left a lasting mark on how they see themselves and the world. Substances can become a way of managing the pain, the numbness, or the hypervigilance that trauma leaves behind. We are trained in trauma-informed approaches and work gently and carefully to help you make sense of what happened, reduce the hold it has on your present life, and build a stronger foundation for lasting change.

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.

Dr. Aleksandra Drecun
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional and psychological trauma is the consequence of exceptionally stressful events that destroy your sense of security, making you feel helpless and vulnerable in a dangerous world. Immediately after the traumatic event, you may be struggling with upsetting emotions, frightening memories, or a sense of constant danger. Or you may feel numb, disconnected, and unable to trust others.
Traumatic experiences often involve a threat to life, security or safety. Any event that leaves you feeling overwhelmed, fearful and alone can be traumatic. In fact, the event does not need to involve physical harm. It is not the impartial facts that determine whether an event is traumatic. Rather, a person’s subjective emotional experience of the event is relevant. The more scared and helpless you feel, the more likely you are to be traumatized.
When horrible situations occur, it can take some time to adequately deal with the pain and feel safe again. Psychologists can help individuals find constructive ways of managing their emotions. With the proper treatment and support, you can speed your recovery. Regardless whether the traumatic incident occurred years ago or yesterday, you can heal and move forward with your life.
Facing and resolving the unbearable feelings and memories you have long avoided is imperative in healing the emotional and psychological trauma. Otherwise the symptoms will reoccur in an intrusive, distressing and unmanageable manner.
