Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with individuals carrying the weight of past trauma, painful relationships, and experiences that still live in the body as anxiety, numbness, or feeling constantly on guard. I bring compassion and relief to the places that feel stuck or overwhelmed. . My goal is to offer a steady, caring space where you don’t have to do it alone and where healing becomes possible not just in your mind, but in your body and relationships too.

Celeste Tomasulo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When we think of trauma, we typically think of Big “T” traumas: accidents, assaults, and overt physical danger. There are also Little “t” traumas which are chronic and ongoing moments where we’ve felt unsafe, unprotected, or in a constant state of survival (fight, flight, freeze, fawn). The brain interprets trauma from both real and perceived events. Trauma is not the event that happened, it's the internal reaction your body has in response. Using a trauma informed approach, I guide you through resourcing your body to address stored and unresolved trauma in a safe and grounded environment. This helps the body to reprocess these events and heal the parts holding onto these distressing memories and emotions.

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.

Robyn Holmes-Cannon
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma is painful and often very hard to overcome without some form of help. The approach I use is client-centered, meaning we work through your experiences at a pace that feels safe to you and in a way that is empowering and offers ongoing resources. The treatment methods most often practiced are EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems, The Flash Technique and Emotional Freedom Technique, all proven, highly effective trauma-informed approaches.

Alejandra Kenia Ipina
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma can be from a single incident or from various events across time. Changing the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us. You may be feeling disconnected from your body, feeling shame, or anger without fully understanding whether you are responding to the present moment or the past. Through somatic therapy we can explore the moments you feel blended to bring clarity, release stored grief or tension to help you live in the present moment.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
I work with trauma from body and soul perspectives. By drawing upon somatic modalities, we will explore how your nervous system responded to traumatic events and work towards reintegrating the experience from a more regulated and spacious place. From a soul perspective, trauma can be understood as not having the love, support, and sense of being witnessed when a traumatic experience occurred. Together we will tend to your body and soul so that you are no longer at the mercy of trauma.

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.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Trauma can shape how you think, feel, relate, and respond to the world, often long after the original events have passed. Whether rooted in childhood experiences, relational wounds, or overwhelming life events, trauma can leave the nervous system stuck in patterns of alertness, shutdown, or emotional reactivity. I integrate EMDR and Somatic Experiencing to help the nervous system process these experiences safely so you can feel more present, empowered, and connected in your life.

Marley Cote
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS
Shame. Pain. Betrayal. Terror. Panic. Disgust. Rage. These are the common emotions that haunt or plague many survivors of (complex) trauma. Trauma can leave survivors feeling fragmented, dehumanized, and paralyzed. These emotions are often only one part of struggling to survive, with flashbacks and trauma responses often frustrating or flooding survivors. Many survivors often wonder if they will ever feel "normal" again after what has happened, if it is even possible to find safety again within and outside of themselves. In my work with survivors, my clients discover what it means to be grounded again within their bodies, to reclaim safety within their bodies, and to release trauma that has limited them for so long.

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.
