Robyn Holmes-Cannon
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma is painful and often very hard to overcome without some form of help. The approach I use is client-centered, meaning we work through your experiences at a pace that feels safe to you and in a way that is empowering and offers ongoing resources. The treatment methods most often practiced are EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems, The Flash Technique and Emotional Freedom Technique, all proven, highly effective trauma-informed approaches.

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.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma work cannot work solely on a verbal level-for years, I worked in verbal therapy alone and observed people coming to better understandings of what happened to them and how it left marks even in the present day while continuing to suffer. But once I integrated EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting into my work with people with trauma, I began to see true shifts in nervous system functioning and healing that was core deep and not just simply coping, bringing true and lasting relief from the pain of the past.

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.

Briana Marshall
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Sometimes the impact of past experiences doesn’t show up all at once, it lives in your body, your reactions, and the ways you try to protect yourself. Clients often come in feeling triggered, emotionally overwhelmed, or disconnected without fully understanding why. Therapy offers a safe space to process those experiences at your pace, without re-traumatization. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded, in control, and safe within yourself again.

Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Whether you’ve experienced a single, terrible event, a pattern of mistreatment or abuse, or even long-standing difficult and painful relationships with parents, the impact on you doesn’t have to remain so heavy. I have training in several research-informed approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based, extensively researched therapy that offers a different approach to treatment by engaging your brain’s natural healing process.

Monica Thoelke

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.

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.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
A traumatic experience can reset your nervous system to be chronically hyper-vigilant as if another dangerous situation is right around the corner. Chronic hypervigilance can have you on guard all the time, over-reactive, easily offended or startled, sleep deprived and feeling alone and unsupported. It is exhausting and unsustainable to live that way. And it can shut down your creativity, playfullness, relationships and physical health too. I can work with you to process trauma, anger and grief. And I can help you learn to ease your nervous system back into a more relaxed state. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from past traumas, self-sabotaging patterns, and help you to build the balanced, happy life you deserve.

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.

Amita Khare
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma takes a physical and mental toll on a person. Trauma can render you tied up in a knot, unable to get free. Children experience and understand trauma differently from adults. They do not have the vocabulary to express their distress, so they act out. If your child is experiencing difficulty sleeping, have nightmares, being emotional and hypervigilant, therapy can be very helpful in reducing symptoms. I use play therapy, art to help children express their thoughts and feelings and teach them coping mechanisms to calm down, relax.
Trauma in adults looks a bit different. You might feel hopeless, helpless, unable to stop the flashbacks and nightmares. It might be hard to work or maintain relationships. It might result in substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, or risky behaviors. Don't wait to get help. You can break free from trauma and live a happy, satisfying life.

Christina Dee
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
Human beings have an innate ability to overcome the effects of diverse traumas. Because trauma destabilizes the nervous system, life can be experienced with a tremendous amount of stress and reactivity (hyperarousal) as well as numbness and indifference (hypoarousal). When we address the emotional and energetic aspects of trauma, our higher-self can re-engage with the distressed body to nurture recovery and rebalancing. The practice of resourcing (the ability to use internal and external resources to constructively achieve a relaxed but alert state of being) builds up and restores long-term resilience. Resourcing anchors our nervous system with calm and ease, enhances our ability to respond to spontaneous stress and refreshes our sense of self, connections to others, and feelings about the world.

Amy Price, AMP Family Therapy Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Having worked with clients of all ages and stages of life who have experienced trauma, I have trained in EMDR therapy to help. I find EMDR to be extremely efficacious and limits the length and amount of therapy most clients need to do. Symptom relief is vital and EMDR can help tremendously with that. We carry trauma in our body. As a compassionate helper, I want my clients who have experienced trauma to understand their body's responses so that they can notice, identify and stop triggers from sending their nervous system awry.
