Janice Shapiro
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My work as a psychotherapist has always been like a detective uncovering the source. Trauma is no different. Clients usually come to me with intense anxiety, panic attacks, fears and more. We look for patterns from the past and connect the dots. Usually, we find patterns and connections. This is the start of the healing process. Using strategies from Internal Family Systems and psychodynamic therapies, we work together finding and practicing strategies that work for each client.

Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
Somatic Therapy incorporates body-based practices, Neuroscience, and Psychobiology into traditional Talk Therapy. This Holistic approach is particularly beneficial to Trauma Survivors struggling with symptoms of PTSD. Trauma impacts the Nervous System and brain functioning which often leaves traumatic experiences and trauma memories unprocessed in the body and unconscious mind, as Bessel van der Kolk famously stated, “The Body Keeps The Score.” This can lead to symptoms of PTSD (re-experiencing, flashbacks, angry outbursts, hyper vigilance, insomnia, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, dissociation, shame, and a fractured sense of Self) and requires understanding and focused attention to the mind-body connection during treatment and recovery.

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.

Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
Betrayal Trauma cam present with symptoms similar to PTSD - intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, emotional flooding, sleep disruption, anxiety, and difficulty feeling safe. When trust has been shattered through infidelity, sexual addiction, or chronic deception, the nervous system often remains in a prolonged state of threat response.
I specialize in trauma-informed, partner-sensitive care that focuses first on stabilization and nervous system regulation before deeper processing. My work helps clients understand their trauma responses, reduce symptom intensity, establish protective boundaries, and regain a sense of internal safety. Healing is possibly when trauma is acknowledged and treated with informed, compassionate support.

Lisa Chester-Schyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
One of my specialities is working with trauma dn PTSD through a gentle, body-oriented approach informed by my training in Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing program. Trauma is not just stored in the mind; it lives in the body and healing often begins by reconnecting with the body in safe and supported ways. I offer a compassionate space to help restore a sense of safety and wholeness at your own pace and in your own time.

Dr. Angel Enrique Pacheco, Ph.D., C.Psych.
Psychologist, Registered Clinical Psychologist
PTSD means that when faced with certain environmental stimuli similar to those present when you were traumatized, you develop the same or similar-level of physiological and emotional responses to the present circumstances even in the absence of additional trauma. This requires specialized training in the assessment and treatment of the condition for you to feel better.

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.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
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.

David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Trauma can continue to affect you long after the event has passed, showing up as intrusive memories, heightened anxiety, or feeling on edge. It can impact your sense of safety and the way you move through the world. In therapy we will work at a pace that feels safe to process what you have been through while also building tools to manage symptoms. The goal is to help you feel more grounded, more in control, and less impacted by the past.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma, and the potential diagnosis of PTSD, can stem from a variety of experiences. Sometimes it is acute trauma, a singular event, forever burned within our being, that follows us in everything we do. Sometimes it is complex or chronic trauma, a series of events or exposures that eventually broke down our ability to remain intact of body, mind or spirit. Trauma can be healed. The parts of ourselves that were harmed can be welcomed back within the larger self, forgiven. The scars will always be there, there is no time machine that can change what has happened. Yet with integration, we can rebuild our inner world to something whole, and alive.

Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Trauma and PTSD exist because of explicit and implicit memory of events that are out of the ordinary. Therapy explores the connection to both in a safe environment. Symptoms arise from these experiences that can be debilitating and exhausting. Sorting out these connections lead to healing.

Oakland has a politically engaged, social-justice-oriented community where many therapists approach their work through an anti-oppression lens, specializing in racial trauma, activist burnout, and healing within BIPOC communities. The city's proximity to San Francisco means therapists here frequently work with the compounding stresses of the Bay Area housing crisis, economic displacement, and the grief of gentrification. Oakland has strong LGBTQ+ and creative communities, with demand for affirming therapists who work at the intersection of identity, community belonging, and personal wellbeing. Highland Hospital and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland provide institutional anchors alongside a network of independent practitioners.
