Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
A traumatic experience can reset your nervous system to be chronically hyper-vigilant as if another dangerous situation is right around the corner. Chronic hypervigilance can have you on guard all the time, over-reactive, easily offended or startled, sleep deprived and feeling alone and unsupported. It is exhausting and unsustainable to live that way. And it can shut down your creativity, playfullness, relationships and physical health too. I can work with you to process trauma, anger and grief. And I can help you learn to ease your nervous system back into a more relaxed state. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from past traumas, self-sabotaging patterns, and help you to build the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Heather Marriatori
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma is an emotional and psychological response to an event. This event could be something you experienced personally or something you witnessed. Your experience could include shock, denial, unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, nightmares, strained relationships and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea. There is no reason to continue experiencing this alone. Contact me and we can discuss ways to get feeling like you're back in control and no longer suffering.

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.

Tanya Samuelian
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma isn’t always loud—it can live quietly beneath high achievement, control, or emotional distance. Many high-functioning individuals carry past wounds that continue to impact their relationships, self-worth, or sense of safety. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space to process what’s been buried, reconnect with your inner world, and move toward lasting healing and integration. You don’t have to carry it alone.

Amenah Arman
Therapist, MS-CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, Nationally Certified Counselor
Trauma can shape how the nervous system responds to stress, relationships, and responsibility long after the original experience has passed. For many high-performing professionals, creatives, and leaders, trauma may show up as hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, perfectionism, or a constant sense of pressure to stay in control. Through trauma-informed therapy, narrative work, and nervous system regulation, we focus on helping the body and mind process unresolved experiences so you can feel safer, more grounded, and more present in your life and work.

LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Trauma & PTSD: Trauma can continue to affect your life long after the event has passed. You may struggle with anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, relationship difficulties, intrusive memories, trust issues, or a persistent feeling that you’re never truly safe.
Using a trauma-informed approach, I help clients process difficult experiences, understand their nervous system responses, and develop tools for healing and recovery. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels safe while building greater emotional regulation, resilience, and self-compassion.
Healing from trauma is not about forgetting what happened. It’s about reclaiming your sense of safety, power, and ability to fully participate in your life.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Specialized support for trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), developmental trauma, attachment trauma, racial trauma, medical trauma, religious trauma, identity-based trauma, intergenerational trauma, and the impacts of systemic oppression, marginalization, and chronic invalidation. This work is particularly attuned to the experiences of neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC, multicultural, and other multiply marginalized individuals whose trauma often exists at the intersection of personal experiences and larger social systems.
My approach integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, polyvagal-informed practices, mindfulness, parts work, expressive arts, neuropsychotherapy, attachment-focused work, and liberation-oriented healing. Rather than asking what is wrong with you, we explore what happened to you, what happened around you, what happened within you, and the ways your nervous system, body, relationships, and sense of self adapted in order to survive.
Trauma often lives far beyond conscious memory. It is carried in the nervous system, muscles, breath, sensory experiences, patterns of tension, hypervigilance, perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-functioning, shutdown, dissociation, emotional overwhelm, chronic self-monitoring, difficulty resting, difficulty trusting, or a persistent feeling of being disconnected from yourself, your body, or your needs. Many of these responses reflect the intelligence of a system that learned how to survive under difficult circumstances rather than evidence that something is wrong with you.
This work invites a deeper understanding of the body's role in both survival and healing. Through attention to sensation, emotion, movement, breath, imagery, nervous system states, and the wisdom held by different parts of self, space is created for greater regulation, flexibility, self-compassion, and choice. Healing is not approached as fixing, erasing, or becoming someone different, but as gently reconnecting with the parts of yourself that may have been hidden beneath protection, adaptation, or survival.
As a multiply marginalized clinician whose work is informed by both professional expertise and lived understanding of trauma, culture, gender, neurodivergence, disability, chronic illness, and systemic oppression, I recognize that healing is rarely about symptom reduction alone. It is often about reclaiming connection to your body, your voice, your needs, your culture, your values, your relationships, your joy, your interests, your communities, and your capacity to move through life with greater authenticity, agency, and self-trust. The goal is not to return to who you were before trauma, but connecting with safe-enough states and reclaiming connection to self, community, embodiment, joy, agency, and the parts of you that existed long before survival became necessary.

Tim Eby-McKenzie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Most of my clinical career has focused on finding more efficient and effective ways to address, understand and heal the impact of trauma in people's lives. Acute Stress Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are two ways trauma manifests in people's lives when trauma gets "stuck" in the nervous system, and cannot resolve effectively and adaptively. I use EMDR to assist clients to overcome this "stuckness" and to move forward into healthier lives.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You already have displayed such a beautiful expression of courage by seeking out support. In the beginning of therapy, we’ll build on this courage by identifying what is working for you in life right now, bringing in new resources to expand the sense of safety to live and connect. Then slowly taking little tastes of deeper, painful work, we’ll move back and forth, allowing your full being to embrace this new way of living without the added weight of judgment or pressure to live any one way. We’ll consider the stories and thoughts, the emotions, the images and picture memories, as well as, the groans, pains, and numbness of your body that are charged by fight-flight-freeze-faint energy. We’ll honor all parts of you as we work together to engage all the rules of safety and connection that you’ve learned through past experiences. We’ll consider what is and is not working well for you now, and, we’ll identify new purposes for these parts of you that honor your living and connecting now.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are dealing with the effects of trauma or post traumatic stress. Trauma can come from many experiences, including childhood events, relationship betrayal, abuse, medical trauma, loss, or other situations that felt overwhelming or unsafe. Even when the event is in the past, its effects can continue to show up through anxiety, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, intrusive memories, or difficulty trusting others.
In therapy, I help clients understand how trauma is affecting their nervous system, emotions, and relationships in the present. I use trauma informed approaches, including EMDR therapy, to help process painful experiences in a way that feels safe and manageable. This work allows many clients to feel less controlled by memories or emotional reactions and more grounded in their daily lives.
Trauma healing is not about reliving the past or forcing yourself to move on. It is about helping your mind and body release what they have been holding onto so you can feel more present, connected, and in control. Together, we work toward restoring a sense of safety, stability, and confidence in yourself and your relationships.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Making sense of trauma, and the impact of trauma, can be accompanied by the fear that you will never be able to overcome the distress you feel when you remember the experience or when those intrusive nightmares, flashbacks, and negative thoughts come crashing into your awareness. Through trauma-focused therapy we reclaim confidence, hopefulness, intimacy, safety, self-esteem, and trust. I have specific expertise in treating trauma symptoms related to sexual assault, intimate partner violence and emotional abuse, military sexual trauma (MST), childhood and complex sexual trauma, violence, and combat trauma experienced by Veterans. These experiences can impact physical health, and daily life.
Many people will experience a form of trauma in their lives. Trauma can come with feelings of shame, anger, and confusion. Posttraumatic stress is a normal human reaction to traumatic events. However, for some individuals this stress persists and interferes with their ability to live the life that they want. I work with complex cases that sometimes include dissociation, numbness, anger, risky behaviors, and years of avoidance. The treatments I provide are the most powerful and effective treatments available for these conditions. I have expertise in individual, as well as relationship (i.e., with a partner) based trauma-focused therapies. I have experienced many times how these treatments help people gain new perspectives about what happened to them, develop a sense of empowerment over their trauma, and improve their lives. These treatments can also be helpful if you feel stuck following experiences of trauma, even if you don’t have PTSD. If you’re unsure whether you want to discuss your trauma, or unsure which approach feels like a good fit for you, we can discuss your concerns. We will explore trauma-focused care that builds upon your current support, coping skills, and personal experience. I primarily employ time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) such as CPT, PE, and CBCT. (See Individual and Couples Therapy based Trauma-Focused Services.)
In psychological literature, stressors are defined as events and conditions (e.g., losing a job, death of an intimate partner) that cause change and require that the individual adapt to the new situation or life circumstance. Stress processes can include the experience of prejudice events, expectations of rejection, hiding and concealing your authentic self, internalized homophobia, intimate partner violence, discrimination, and ameliorative coping processes that have become bad, ineffective habits. These experiences can be particularly painful when there is social pressure to conceal your experiences, or stigma. I address what it’s like to have no one to talk to about these experiences, and any distress that comes from having nowhere to do this work safely. I practice LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy that considers the impact of minority stress and chronic stress responses. Aside from these stress processes, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and heterosexuals who report any same-sex sexual partners over their lifetime, have greater risk of childhood maltreatment, interpersonal violence, trauma to a close friend or relative, and unexpected death of someone close.

Riverside is home to UC Riverside and is the economic and cultural hub of the Inland Empire — a vast suburban region east of Los Angeles where high housing costs, long commutes, and economic pressures create distinct mental health challenges for a predominantly working- and middle-class population. The city has a significant Latino and Black population, and bilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve important access roles in communities where language and cultural fit are barriers to mainstream mental health services. Riverside University Health System provides institutional mental health resources for one of California's largest and fastest-growing counties. UC Riverside's psychology program feeds practitioners into the local community, though the Inland Empire as a whole remains underserved relative to coastal California metros.
