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.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults affected by trauma, including post-traumatic stress and complex trauma. Traumatic experiences can continue to shape how people respond internally and in relationships, often long after the original events have passed.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how trauma is held and organised internally, including protective responses that may have developed over time. Rather than assuming readiness or direction, sessions focus on understanding what is present and how different internal responses interact. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most manageable and useful.

Janice Shapiro
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My work as a psychotherapist has always been like a detective uncovering the source. Trauma is no different. Clients usually come to me with intense anxiety, panic attacks, fears and more. We look for patterns from the past and connect the dots. Usually, we find patterns and connections. This is the start of the healing process. Using strategies from Internal Family Systems and psychodynamic therapies, we work together finding and practicing strategies that work for each client.

Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
As an EMDR certified therapist, I help people recover from traumatic experiences. Even though our mind knows the trauma happened in the past, our bodies can relive these experiences in the present. EMDR allows the mind and body to heal and reconnect as you process traumatic experiences and move toward a place of wholeness and restoration.

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.

Leila Tabatabaee
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma has a specific and undeniable impact on our brain and nervous system. This impact ripples into the way we feel about ourselves, our relationships and the world. Learning strategies to mitigate and re-wire the impact of trauma can empower us to feel greater safety, ease, confidence and connection.

Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I haven't met a client who couldn't benefit from some degree of healing from trauma, whether relational, developmental, systemic, big T, complex trauma, PTSD... we all carry trauma in varying degrees until we're able to integrate it. My work is trauma informed, with a foundation in somatic psychotherapy which is needed for lasting results - trauma impacts the body as well as the brain. If you ignore the body in therapy the thoughts and emotions may improve for a time, but the patterns of constriction that impact the body will remain and sooner or later the distressing thoughts and emotions will return. I also draw on EMDR, neurobiology, energy psychology, self-compassion, mindfulness and other modalities. My work is compassionate yet direct and results driven.

Dr. Aleksandra Drecun
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional and psychological trauma is the consequence of exceptionally stressful events that destroy your sense of security, making you feel helpless and vulnerable in a dangerous world. Immediately after the traumatic event, you may be struggling with upsetting emotions, frightening memories, or a sense of constant danger. Or you may feel numb, disconnected, and unable to trust others.
Traumatic experiences often involve a threat to life, security or safety. Any event that leaves you feeling overwhelmed, fearful and alone can be traumatic. In fact, the event does not need to involve physical harm. It is not the impartial facts that determine whether an event is traumatic. Rather, a person’s subjective emotional experience of the event is relevant. The more scared and helpless you feel, the more likely you are to be traumatized.
When horrible situations occur, it can take some time to adequately deal with the pain and feel safe again. Psychologists can help individuals find constructive ways of managing their emotions. With the proper treatment and support, you can speed your recovery. Regardless whether the traumatic incident occurred years ago or yesterday, you can heal and move forward with your life.
Facing and resolving the unbearable feelings and memories you have long avoided is imperative in healing the emotional and psychological trauma. Otherwise the symptoms will reoccur in an intrusive, distressing and unmanageable manner.

California Center for Change
Psychologist, PhD
Many people who struggle with addiction are also carrying the weight of experiences that were never fully processed, childhood wounds, losses, or events that left a lasting mark on how they see themselves and the world. Substances can become a way of managing the pain, the numbness, or the hypervigilance that trauma leaves behind. We are trained in trauma-informed approaches and work gently and carefully to help you make sense of what happened, reduce the hold it has on your present life, and build a stronger foundation for lasting change.
