Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
I offer specialized trauma therapy for individuals experiencing the effects of past trauma, including PTSD, complex trauma, and chronic stress. Trauma and PTSD can leave you feeling stuck in the past, overwhelmed by intrusive memories, or constantly on edge. You may experience flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance, or a persistent sense of fear, disconnection, or emotional numbness. These reactions are your mind and body’s way of trying to cope with overwhelming experiences. As a clinical psychologist, I provide a safe, supportive space to process trauma at a pace that feels manageable. My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based treatments, helping you gently work through painful experiences while building skills to regulate emotions and feel more in control. Together, we focus on reducing distressing symptoms, restoring a sense of safety, and helping you reconnect with yourself and others. Healing from trauma is possible, and you don’t have to go through it alone.

Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma isn’t just about what happened—it’s about how your nervous system responded. When trauma remains unresolved, it can show up as anxiety, shame, anger, numbness, flashbacks, sleep disturbance, relationship struggles, or chronic tension. Even long after the event is over, your body may still feel stuck in survival mode.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain process traumatic experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity. Rather than reliving the past, EMDR helps your system integrate it—so it stops disrupting your present.
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means loosening trauma’s grip so you can feel safer, more grounded, and more like yourself again.
When appropriate, we may integrate other approaches such as IFS or talk therapy—but EMDR is often the foundation of trauma treatment in my practice.

Yaffa Dyckman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Traumatic experiences and PTSD can be so hard to live with. It can mean sleepless nights, avoidance of people and places, hypervigilance and more. EMDR is a highly effective treatment for PTSD. I am an EMDR certified clinician. I have seen the wonderful results that EMDR can have with both traumatic experiences and memories as well as with negative beliefs and feelings that we take out of trauma.I take the pace that is right for each client. Let's do this work together. It can be a game changer.

Susan Lobosco Benner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma is often at the root of many of the symptoms and struggles that bring people to therapy. I have many tools to offer to facilitate the process of healing from trauma. The first is a safe therapeutic relationship grounded in many years of experience where you will experience compassion, connection and caring that lead to insight and deepened understanding. Others include Accelerated Resolution Therapy which has proven to be a powerful way to reprocess trauma and detach from triggers, leaving you to live a life free from the daily impact of past and recent traumas. The combination of these tools and others lead to healing of both mind and body, which is essential as both are intricately involved in how we carry trauma.

Jennifer Bearden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma can leave you feeling fragmented, hyper-vigilant, and disconnected from yourself. In our safe space, we’ll work collaboratively to process the traumatic memories so they no longer hold emotional power over you. We will gently explore and nurture the protective 'parts' of you that developed in survival, helping them step back so your innate wisdom can lead. Your treatment will include powerful tools to help you build deep inner safety and connect with the stabilizing rhythms of nature.

Ren Lee
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The trauma we experience can make us feel so disconnected and dissociated while also craving connection and warmth. I am here to invite and support you in exploring connections to yourself, your communities, and the world around you. Through understanding our intersectional identities, we can start to process and unpack the ways we struggle to show up for ourselves and each other. Healing is a process that takes time, authenticity, and gentle care. I am trained in Brainspotting.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Treating trauma has been a specialty of mine for almost 15 years. I mostly use Cognitive Processing Therapy to understand the impact trauma has had on you and your life and then we use skills to address the thoughts that are keeping you stuck in old patterns. We will talk about important themes like safety, trust, power/control, esteem, and intimacy as a part of your trauma patterns. Changing how you think about trauma can help you get unstuck and live in more peaceful ways.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have 10 years of experience working with individuals and families impacted by trauma, including complex trauma, relational trauma, and PTSD. Trauma can take many forms and often affects not only how we think and feel, but also how we relate to others, how safe we feel in the world, and how we see ourselves.
In my work, I support clients in making sense of their experiences at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Trauma can leave people feeling stuck in patterns of hypervigilance, anxiety, emotional numbness, shame, or difficulty trusting others. For many, these responses are not just psychological, but also deeply connected to the body and nervous system.
I approach trauma work with care, stability, and a strong focus on creating a sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship. Together, we work to gently process painful experiences while also building tools for grounding, regulation, and emotional stability in the present moment. I integrate both insight-oriented work and practical coping strategies to help clients understand how their past continues to impact them today, while also supporting change and healing.
My goal is to help clients feel less alone in their experiences, reconnect with a sense of internal safety, and gradually move out of survival-based patterns and into a life that feels more grounded, present, and whole.

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.
