Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Something bad happens, nothing good follows, and everyone pretends it's okay. This simple series of events can lead to lasting emotional and physical symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms make us feel crazy. Let me assure you, you are not crazy and you are not alone. I am trained in a trauma treatment technique called eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), that can allow for integration of traumatic memories into one's healthy and coherent narrative. I would be honored to provide you a safe space to work through the painful experiences that just won't seem to go away.

Trauma is an experience that can impact nearly every aspect of someone's life, from relationships/trust, to work, to self-esteem, to mood and the list goes on. Finding someone who specializes in trauma/PTSD is essential to truly getting the help you need. I offer the gold standard treatments for PTSD (e.g. Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure), as well as treatments like EMDR and STAIR. Building a strong relationship is the first step to help you on your journey to re-engaging in the life you want to lead. I will then help you process your trauma, understand triggers, and develop new coping strategies for managing.

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.

Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am fully trained in EMDR, and am working toward full certification. I find this therapy to be highly effective in treating issues related to trauma. Through my years working at different mental health agencies within Los Angeles County and Orange County, trauma has been one of the most common issues clients have talked to me about. Trauma can influence the way somebody thinks or feels about themselves and the world around them. These incredibly stressful events often changes our behavior and impacts our ability to function. I am also trained and certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy, and use a variety of other forms of evidence-based treatment as well.
A quick note about trauma-- these events don't have to be dramatically disturbing to have an impact on your mental health. Feel free to read up on this article, which explains the rising understanding about the wide spectrum of traumatic experiences: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/trauma-and-hope/201703/different-types-trauma-small-t-versus-large-t

Trauma and PTSD
Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I approach the delicate areas of trauma and PTSD with a deep sense of empathy and understanding, recognizing the profound impact these experiences can have on an individual's life. By employing a holistic and integrative strategy, including Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I provide a supportive environment where clients can safely explore and process their experiences. Mindfulness encourages a non-judgmental awareness of the present moment, helping to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. EFT serves as a tool for managing emotional responses, while IFS offers insights into the multiplicity of the self, fostering internal healing. CBT helps in challenging and changing unhelpful patterns of thought related to trauma, and Role-pPlaying can be particularly effective in rehearsing coping strategies and building confidence in handling triggering situations. My role is to guide and support you through your healing journey, offering compassionate care and tailored therapeutic interventions to help you navigate the complexities of trauma and PTSD, with the goal of fostering resilience, recovery, and a return to a sense of safety and well-being in your life.

Timothy Long
Registered Psychotherapist
I myself grew up in a toxic, dysfunctional, abusive family. It caused me to suffer many years from severe complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, social anxiety with severe blushing, and much more. Trauma and PTSD can be caused by many experiences in childhood or in our adult years. Just talk therapy will not resolve it. After trying many therapies myself, and training in different forms of therapy, I know what really works. I want to help you resolve your trauma and/or PTSD. It is not as difficult as many people think. I offer a 30 minute complimentary session for you to find how we can work together to heal and create the life you want. You can easily schedule on my website or email me.
