Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have a special focus on religious trauma and related issues. I am EMDR trained and for some, this will be the main approach to therapy. However, it is not my only approach. Religious trauma is usually a complex trauma, or as I often say, trauma by 1000 paper cuts. Therefore, it's important for us to build trust and rapport, and to go slow.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
My work with trauma and PTSD clients focuses on developing safe, paced strategies for processing difficult experiences that continue to impact your present life. Through evidence-based approaches including EMDR, clinical hypnosis, and somatic techniques, we address key areas including hypervigilance, emotional flashbacks, relational patterns rooted in past wounds, and nervous system dysregulation. I help clients build resources and resilience before processing traumatic memories, develop tools for managing triggers and overwhelming emotions in daily life, understand how past experiences shaped current beliefs and behaviors, and create new neural pathways that support healing and integration. My approach acknowledges that trauma work requires moving at your pace while providing a framework that allows you to process what happened without being retraumatized in the telling.

Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Trauma can be any experience that shapes the way you view, relate, and develop a relationship with yourself, others, and the world. Exposure to either one big negative event or a cumulative of small negative events can cause people to live in fear, worry, paranoia, stress, and insecurity. Healing from trauma involves a gradual process of restoring safety, processing emotions, and rebuilding connections. Key strategies in therapy with me include practicing self-compassion, grounding techniques, and establishing a support system. Healing is not linear, and it often requires avoiding self-blame, maintaining routines, setting boundaries, and addressing trauma gently over time.

Elizabeth Vahdatpour
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have assisted several clients in processing and coping with Trauma and PTSD throughout my career. Trauma is complicated and shows up in ways we may not understand at times. To work on processing trauma, we will first discuss education about how trauma impacts our nervous system and behavioral patterns. Then we will focus on processing your story. As we discuss difficult topics, I will be sure to practice coping skills with you in session, so that when you leave session, you are prepared to address any triggers that may arise.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop from being exposed to a wide variety of traumatic events such as motor vehicle crashes, home accidents, sexual assault, domestic violence, or being involved in a natural disaster. As the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) describes it, PTSD happens after “being witness to or being exposed to situations involving threatened or actual serious physical harm or death.” But it’s important to keep in mind that experiencing a trauma doesn’t mean a person will absolutely develop PTSD.

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.

Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma and PTSD can be discovered on several levels. For example -- a one time car crash. A victim or a crime. Abuse of any kind. Chronic child abuse. Relational abuse. Being bullied or humiliated. Past traumas that are not resolved are held in a special organ in the brain called the 'amygdala.' The traumatic memory can be 'triggered' off and on for years -- which can and will ultimately interfere in many aspects of ones life. The great news is that unprocessed traumas and PTSD can be effectively treated. You can be free of disturbing memories and emotional recalls that cause anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, etc. Help is available.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Unresolved trauma doesn't stay in the past it runs in the background of every decision, relationship, and stress response you have today. Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy works to neutralize the subconscious charge attached to past events, reducing triggers and rebuilding a nervous system baseline that isn't controlled by what happened before. This isn't about reliving the pain. It's about removing its authority over your present identity.

Ross Kellogg, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Single event trauma and long-term developmental trauma in childhood can each be overwhelming experiences that bring about an overwhelming set of symptoms that often end in a lot of isolation for the traumatized person. Therapy can help you re-engage with people and life again. A multi modality approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy couples with Object Relations Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy can often be an effective method for managing symptoms, getting back to feeling good, and accepting the full impact and meaning of the traumatic event(s).

Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The links between trauma and achievement spotlight the success stories of people who've endured difficult pasts. Through resilience and resourcefulness, some persevered and found success as an outlet for improving self-esteem. How else could you have filled the void of highly critical, emotionally unavailable parents? The trouble is that success may be tough to integrate and truly celebrate as your own, no matter how impressive your resume gets. Fortunately, recovery from trauma is very possible and with time, can foster post-traumatic growth which leads to a more fulfilling life and meaningful relationships. My clinical approach includes Internal Family Systems which explores how different parts of you protect and serve you. Trauma-Focused CBT also helps unravel core-beliefs that may complicate your relationship with yourself, your ability to trust others, or see the world as a safe place.
