Dr. Maxwell Rappoport
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in trauma treatment using approaches like Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and elements of narrative therapy to re-understand and reinterpret traumatic material. Therapy provides a safe space to process painful memories, reduce symptoms like hypervigilance or flashbacks, and rebuild a sense of safety, empowerment, and control.

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.

Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma affects our lives in many, many ways. There are complex traumas which occur when an individual endures ongoing, long-term and repetitive abuse of some nature- be it physical, sexual or emotional. Simple traumas, while limited to a single event, are just as devastating for the emotional well-being of the patient. Trauma can be debilitating, lead to addictions, cause unconscious behavior patterns, be completely repressed, and significantly impact our interpersonal and familial relationships.
My therapeutic approach to trauma, offers a nurturing, systematic, and comforting methodology that quietly explores the nature of the trauma in a safe and gentle environment.

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.

Most of my professional experience has been working with military service members and their spouses. I've worked at several Marine Corps bases and am very familiar with Marine culture. In addition, I have five years of experience as a military spouse which allows me to connect and understand the military community’s issues from both a personal and professional level.
I utilize EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), yoga, breathing techniques, meditation, and mindfulness as wellness tools. I am passionate about helping survivors of trauma reconnect with their bodies.

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.
