Len Ramsay
Registered Psychotherapist, Gestalt Therapist , M.B.A.
Trauma comes in many varieties. In classical PTSD we focus on Abuse, and even then, on severe and dramatic episodes of abuse. A more nuanced and sophisticated approach looks also at "small t" trauma with the same level of respect and seriousness. Neglect is a part of this. Abandonment The history of failed treatments for Trauma is epic. I believe that Shame and Trauma are at the core of psychological distress.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Our traumas not only impact our internal experiences of distress but also our relationships, our work, and overall quality of life. It can be difficult to differentiate between your own survival mechanisms and the coping strategies you inherited. To prevent passing on your trauma responses to the next generation, you can unlearn what is no longer serving you while also learning new skills.

Victoria Miller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
CPT helps people recognize how trauma has changed their view about themselves, others, and the world. CPT teaches people to recognize the negative thoughts that are created by the trauma. These thoughts are called "stuck points" in CPT because they keep people stuck and get in the way of recovery from PTSD (from the National Center for PTSD (.gov))

IEMT Trauma Therapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht., NLP, I.E.M.T., B.T.P, Adv-EFT., CBT Specialist
IEMT is uniquely effective for trauma because it doesn’t require talking about the details. It quickly disconnects the emotional overwhelm from the memory, making the past truly feel like the past. Flashbacks and emotional hijacks are common with PTSD. IEMT works by rapidly reducing the charge behind those memories, helping your mind stop reacting as if the danger is still present.

Charis Khoury
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I see trauma in a broad sense- any experience that was too overwhelming to process in the moment and is stored in the body/mind. Gently, we can integrate and find freedom from these experiences.

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.

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.

Monica Thoelke
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Treating Trauma and PTSD is a multidimensional process that involves elements of Exposure therapy or Cognitive processing therapies joined with Somatic or body based approaches. My trauma treatment approaches have evolved from studying multiple methodologies for processing, giving space to and releasing trauma triggers. Healing and transformation take place at multiple levels.

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.

Adela Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Unhealed trauma and grief can quietly shape relationships, creating distance, misunderstandings, or reactivity. I provide a supportive, trauma-informed space where couples can navigate loss, address the lingering impact of past wounds, and rebuild a sense of safety and closeness. My goal is to help you face pain together, so it becomes a source of resilience rather than disconnection.

Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
As someone who has experienced trauma, I know how hard it is to deal with ghosts from the past! I have specialized psychological expertise in trauma, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the complex dynamics of intergenerational trauma. I'm specifically trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based method for helping youth and their families process traumatic experiences. I understand that trauma is not just a memory, but a pervasive, ongoing disruption to the nervous system and one's core sense of self and safety. I utilize a range of trauma-informed approaches to help clients safely process past events, regulate emotional and physiological responses, and move out of patterns of chronic activation or emotional numbing. My goal is to support you in breaking the cycle of pain, reclaiming your narrative, and fostering post-traumatic growth to build a future defined by connection, presence, and genuine peace.

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.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When the Past Still Feels Present
You may know, logically, that a painful experience is behind you — yet your body and mind don’t always agree. A sound, a tone of voice, or even a smell can suddenly bring back the rush of fear, shame, or helplessness. Trauma can make you feel like you’re living in survival mode, constantly alert, exhausted, or detached from yourself and others. Healing from trauma isn’t about “getting over it.” It’s about helping your brain and body learn that you are safe again.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT combined with the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) to calm your nervous system, rebuild trust in your body, and process painful memories at a pace that feels safe. Together, we’ll:
Understand how trauma reshapes the brain and body’s threat response
Learn grounding tools to bring the body back to the present moment
Release shame, guilt, and self-blame that often follow trauma
Rebuild a sense of safety, strength, and connection in your daily life
Transform survival skills into sources of resilience and wisdom
Our work focuses on restoring balance — helping you feel more in control, more connected, and more alive. Healing happens not by reliving the past, but by reclaiming your power in the present.
I BELIEVE:
Trauma changes how we survive, not who we are.
Safety and connection are the foundation of healing.
Your symptoms are not weakness — they’re evidence of strength and adaptation.
You can feel safe in your body again.
Compassion, not confrontation, is what restores the nervous system.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff

Sacramento is the state capital with a large government and public sector workforce, and therapists here frequently address the particular stresses of public service careers, bureaucratic work environments, and the emotional toll of policy work. The city's location in the Central Valley means it serves diverse communities including large Latino, Southeast Asian, and Hmong populations, with demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists well established. UC Davis Health provides major institutional mental health resources, with a growing private practice community serving Midtown, East Sacramento, Land Park, and the surrounding suburbs. Sacramento's lower cost of living relative to the Bay Area has attracted many therapists from the region, expanding the range of available care.
