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.

Naomi Zelin
Pre-Licensed Professional, APCC
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help individuals heal from traumatic experiences and regain control over their lives. 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.

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.

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.

Roanne de Guia-Samuels
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CChT
Trauma is not just something that happened in the past—it can continue to show up in your body, relationships, and the way you experience the world. I help clients gently process painful experiences while understanding how trauma has shaped their thoughts, emotions, and nervous system responses. Using a trauma-informed approach that integrates somatic therapy, attachment work, and evidence-based strategies, we work together to create safety, build resilience, and help you reconnect with yourself.

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Trauma can impact how you experience safety, connection, and trust—both internally and in relationships. I approach trauma work through an attachment-based, developmental lens, recognizing that overwhelming experiences often shape protective patterns that once helped you survive.
Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we gently work with parts that carry fear, shame, anger, or numbness. Emotionally Focused principles guide our work toward strengthening secure attachment and emotional safety. Therapy focuses on nervous system regulation, unburdening traumatic experiences at a pace that feels manageable, and restoring a sense of stability and self-trust.

Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Trauma and PTSD are so incredibly common and underrecognized. People often go decades in their lives with undiagnosed PTSD and trauma without even realizing it. It is important to unveil the traumatic experiences we have gone through in our lives. Some people can experience trauma and not develop PTSD. However, there are many people who experience trauma and don't recognize they have. I am here to work with you through that. I can provide you a safe place to explore the traumatic experiences that are causing you pain, and we can begin to get your life back in order, one piece at a time.

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.
