Paradise Valley, Arizona therapist: Sophie Pierce, psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

Sophie Pierce

Psychologist, Psy.D.
I understand trauma responses as the nervous system’s adaptive attempts to cope with overwhelming experiences, rather than simply symptoms to be eliminated. Healing occurs through safe, supportive relationships that help restore a sense of connection, regulation, and trust. I work collaboratively with children, and families to build understanding, strengthen resilience, and support meaningful growth.

San Diego, California therapist: Patricia Fahmy, licensed professional counselor
Trauma and PTSD

Patricia Fahmy

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Trauma can continue to affect your life long after difficult experiences have ended. You may find yourself feeling emotionally overwhelmed, constantly on guard, disconnected from others, struggling with trust, or repeating patterns in relationships that you don't fully understand. Trauma can impact the mind, body, nervous system, and the way we relate to ourselves and others. I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal the effects of trauma through a holistic approach that integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, attachment work, and mindfulness. Together, we work to process painful experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, and create healthier, more secure ways of living and connecting.

Seattle, Washington therapist: Sumer Statler Aeed, psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

Sumer Statler Aeed

Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is the experience not just of what happened to us, but by how our bodies, neurology, and hearts respond to what happened to us. Traumas of 'small t' and traumas of 'big T' both create adaptions to our true selves that can lead in our being 'stuck' in ways that don't serve us, that may create more trauma, or disconnection from our true selves and to our relationships with others. We have multiple ways of healing trauma, including complex traumas, including Flash Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), clinical hypnosis, somatic work, art therapy and more. Coming back to your true self, perhaps for the first time, is not a journey to be missed.

Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in helping individuals who have experienced trauma or are dealing with PTSD.

I work with clients to address symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and avoidance, and to help them regain a sense of safety, control, and empowerment. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can work through their trauma at their own pace, build resilience, and ultimately move toward healing and recovery. Referrals to EMDR or medication management are offered when appropriate.

Scottsdale, Arizona therapist: Claire Karakey, therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Claire Karakey

Therapist, LPC, MC
Traumatic experiences often involve a physical threat to life or safety but any situation that leaves a person feeling isolated, helpless, and overwhelmed can result in Trauma. Traumatic events include accidents, abuse, bullying, neglect, breakups, humiliation, chronic illness, or the sudden death of a loved one. Trauma can often manifest in destructive behaviors such as substance abuse, self-harm, and codependency. An individual struggling with past traumas can experience insomnia, irritability, aches and pains, fear, anxiety, and hopelessness. Trauma can affect work performance and relationships, cause one to withdraw and isolate from others, and potentially resort to using drugs or self-harm in order to cope with the intense emotions. Whatever the cause of the trauma – and whether it happened recently or in childhood – therapy can help. A therapist can use a variety of modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Talk Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to help reprogram and heal the traumatic memories so a healthier, happier life can be realized.
