Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
I have specialized training in trauma treatment, including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, which views trauma as something deeply rooted in the body and nervous system. In our work together, we focus on safety, pacing, and understanding the coping strategies your system has developed in response to overwhelming experiences.
Trauma can leave people feeling fragmented, disconnected, or stuck in patterns of dissociation or reactivity. Using somatic awareness and parts work, we learn to track these responses, build regulation tools, and develop a more compassionate and empowered relationship with your experience.

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.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

Trauma comes in big T or little t varieties. Not all come with a PTSD or CPTSD diagnoses. Using EMDR and other treatment approaches, I can help you sort through and understand what happened so you live without the deep pain.

Fufan Chiang
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma doesn't just stay in the past; it lives in your present-day nervous system, keeping you hypervigilant, reactive, and emotionally exhausted. Even if you completely understand the history behind your symptoms, your body may still feel trapped in survival mode, leading to sudden outbursts of anger, deep self-criticism, or relationship strain. Using evidence-based trauma therapy and EMDR, we go beyond traditional talk therapy to actively process how your body stores stress. You can clear these deep-seated blocks, find physical relief, and safely step into a life defined by emotional safety.

A Better High,LLC
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, C.A.R.C.
Trauma changes the way people move through the world. Sometimes it looks obvious. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, anger, numbness, isolation, addiction, or feeling constantly on edge. I work with people in a grounded, authentic way to help them make sense of what they’ve been carrying and begin reconnecting with themselves and the people around them. The goal isn’t pretending the past never happened — it’s helping you stop feeling trapped by it.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master
Dealing with symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder can be hard on the body and can be debilitating. I teach clients the importance of self-care and explore healthier lifestyle choices. Clients learn about relaxation techniques such as sensory mindfulness and awareness and deep breathing which can activate the body's relaxation response and ease symptoms of PTSD.
