Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
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.

Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
You may carry the effects of trauma even if you don’t always think of your experiences as “trauma.” Many people living with complex trauma struggle with anxiety, shame, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, relationship difficulties, hyper-independence, or feeling constantly on edge. Often, these patterns began as ways to survive difficult environments or relationships.
Healing from trauma is not about forcing yourself to revisit everything at once. In our work, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe while helping your nervous system learn that the past is not happening now. Together, we can work toward greater emotional regulation, healthier relationships, deeper self-understanding, and a stronger sense of safety within yourself.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to reduce the effects of trauma. Some of us have trauma that affects our bodies, others are emotional and some are more spiritual. Boundary violations of any kind can lead to PTSD, whether they are big "T" traumas or small "t" traumas, our brain can process through the event(s), but sometimes it gets stuck, so EMDR can break the paralysis. We can get stuck in the left brain, right brain or amygdala and end up paralyzed. We use the eye movement to allow our three brains to calm down and listen to and soothe one another. Getting those three parts of your brain all active usually break the stranglehold of trauma.

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.

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.

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
I specialize in treating individuals who have experienced chronic relational trauma, sometimes referred to as complex PTSD. Complex relational trauma results in problems in sustaining healthy intimate relationships, difficulty in trusting others, and disorganized attachment bonds. I also work with individuals who have suffered a singular traumatic experience, such as witnessing a homicide, or surviving a loved one's suicide. These experiences are sometimes called traumatic grief. You may have witnessed an accident, been involved in a natural disaster, or survived a war or difficult migration and be experiencing intrusive thoughts, memories, or dreams about that most distressing and demanding experience. We can work together to process these unbearable experiences with great care and sensitivity, at a pace that is comfortable for you.

Pasadena is home to Caltech and the Huntington Hospital, and the city's intellectual, academic culture creates demand for therapists experienced in working with high-achievers navigating perfectionism, burnout, and the psychological demands of elite academic and scientific environments. The city's established residential character and proximity to Los Angeles give it a distinct therapy landscape — less entertainment-focused than West Hollywood, more oriented toward depth work, relationships, and long-term growth. Pasadena also has a significant older adult population, with therapists specializing in aging, life review, and elder family dynamics well represented. Many practices serve clients drawn from across the San Gabriel Valley and Foothill communities.
