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.

Jessica Torres Kreidt
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, NCC, CCTP (CA: LPCC#17935)
With training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. This work is a true passion of mine, and I am committed to walking alongside my clients on their journey toward healing. I use evidence-based therapies and grounding techniques to help clients manage distressing symptoms, stay connected to the present moment, and build resilience.
My work in trauma began at the YWCA Hope Center, a local rape crisis and domestic violence center, where I provided legal advocacy to individuals in some of the most challenging circumstances. I later gained valuable experience in case management, supporting individuals facing homelessness and significant life barriers. These experiences have profoundly shaped my compassionate and client-centered approach.
I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients can reclaim their sense of safety, strength, and well-being as they work toward healing and growth.

Shohreh Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Experiencing trauma can have a lasting impact on your emotional and physical well-being. Symptoms of PTSD, as outlined in the DSM-5-TR, may include intrusive memories or flashbacks, avoidance of reminders, negative changes in thoughts and mood, and heightened arousal such as irritability, difficulty sleeping, or being easily startled. These symptoms can disrupt your daily life and relationships. You don’t have to face these challenges alone.
As a skilled psychotherapist, I provide a safe and supportive environment to help you process traumatic experiences at your own pace. Together, we can work on strategies to reduce symptoms, build resilience, and restore a sense of safety and calm in your life.
If you are ready to begin addressing the effects of trauma, I invite you to reach out. Compassionate support is available to guide you toward greater peace and stability.

Trauma and PTSD can be the result of one traumatic incident, abusive relationship(s), difficult life situations, etc. Bilateral stimulation and EMDR are clinical proven treatments which can be very affective. There are other treatments which can further treatment outcomes, such as attachment and coping skills training. There is no one size fits all treatment but therapy can be extremely affective.

Christine Jones
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Highly stressful and/or adverse events can lead to lingering trauma memories. They tend to cause disturbance in our mind and bodies, sometimes in the form of higher anxiety, mood issues, negative relationship loops, greater avoidance, and a negative impression of self. Science-based treatments have demonstrated recovery from a diverse array of traumas that stem from childhood and adulthood. Treatment outcomes often include little to no emotional charge on the worst memories, an automatic balanced sense of self, and a lifting of past symptomatology.

Alana Morazzini
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with a healing approach called Internal Family Systems (IFS), which gently explores the different "parts" of you that have been shaped by past experiences. This work is especially meaningful for those who have navigated relational trauma or PTSD — and for anyone who simply wants a safe, compassionate space to make sense of their story and move toward healing.

EMDR is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that enables you to process and integrate traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact. In a safe and supportive environment, I guide you through this transformative process, helping you build resilience and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Whether you're dealing with recent trauma or long-standing issues, my goal is to support your journey toward healing and empowerment.

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.

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.

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people feel discouraged when traditional talk therapy doesn’t create lasting change, especially when unresolved developmental trauma is shaping how they function today. I help clients understand how early experiences—often subtle, forgotten, or considered “normal”—continue to influence their adult lives in powerful ways. My approach is warm, informed, and deeply attuned, supporting you in making sense of your history so you can make more intentional choices and create a better tomorrow.
