If you have experienced a trauma or have PTSD, we can help you alliviate the symptoms you experience and begin to heal. Trauma is experienced differently by all and we can help you discover the triggers that cause you to have a stress response. We can teach you grounding exercises and mindfullness practices that will help you manage your symptoms. Once symptoms are reduced, we can guide you through processing your feelings, learning and practicing adaptive coping skills and help you get through the traumatic event or events. Many traumas that occur we don't get "over" but we do get through them and find our way to wellness, wholeness and a path to our most authentic self. It takes courage to ask for help and we know that if you can and when you are ready, we are here to help. We believe the therapeutic relationship can facilitate the connection and safety you need to begin the healing. Please make an appointment so the healing can begin.

Accessing, unlocking and processing traumatic memories are the start to healing. Exposure therapy and talk therapy are my two main modes of healing as it pertains to trauma. It's tough to revisit, but I'll go there with you and guide you back to recovery.

Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I understand trauma responses as the nervous system’s adaptive attempts to cope with overwhelming experiences, rather than simply symptoms to be eliminated. Healing occurs through safe, supportive relationships that help restore a sense of connection, regulation, and trust. I work collaboratively with children, and families to build understanding, strengthen resilience, and support meaningful growth.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
My work with trauma and PTSD clients focuses on developing safe, paced strategies for processing difficult experiences that continue to impact your present life. Through evidence-based approaches including EMDR, clinical hypnosis, and somatic techniques, we address key areas including hypervigilance, emotional flashbacks, relational patterns rooted in past wounds, and nervous system dysregulation. I help clients build resources and resilience before processing traumatic memories, develop tools for managing triggers and overwhelming emotions in daily life, understand how past experiences shaped current beliefs and behaviors, and create new neural pathways that support healing and integration. My approach acknowledges that trauma work requires moving at your pace while providing a framework that allows you to process what happened without being retraumatized in the telling.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand that almost everyone has experienced trauma at some point in life. A trauma-informed approach means we help you develop, practice, and foster body-regulating coping skills to help you respond differently to the underlying trauma. Will we address the specifics of your trauma? Maybe, but only when you are ready. I am now offering Virtual Reality therapy to help with trauma and PTSD. Further, I will be using EMDR for in-person sessions.

Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
In treating trauma and PTSD, I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a proven, structured approach that helps individuals reframe and process their traumatic experiences. Through this evidence-based treatment, we work together to challenge unhelpful beliefs about safety, power, trust, esteem and intimacy, and process the emotions tied to the trauma. By focusing on these areas, CPT helps reduce symptoms of PTSD and empowers clients to regain control over their lives, improving emotional resilience and overall well-being.

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.

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.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Trauma can continue to affect your life long after difficult experiences have ended. You may find yourself feeling emotionally overwhelmed, constantly on guard, disconnected from others, struggling with trust, or repeating patterns in relationships that you don't fully understand. Trauma can impact the mind, body, nervous system, and the way we relate to ourselves and others. I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal the effects of trauma through a holistic approach that integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, attachment work, and mindfulness. Together, we work to process painful experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, and create healthier, more secure ways of living and connecting.

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.
