Campbell, California therapist: Janice Shapiro, marriage and family therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Janice Shapiro

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My work as a psychotherapist has always been like a detective uncovering the source. Trauma is no different. Clients usually come to me with intense anxiety, panic attacks, fears and more. We look for patterns from the past and connect the dots. Usually, we find patterns and connections. This is the start of the healing process. Using strategies from Inherited Family Trauma, Internal Family Systems and psychodynamic therapies, we work together finding and practicing strategies that work for each client.

San Jose, California therapist: Russell Wilkie, marriage and family therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Russell Wilkie

Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to reduce the effects of trauma. Some of us have trauma that affects our bodies, others are emotional and some are more spiritual. Boundary violations of any kind can lead to PTSD, whether they are big "T" traumas or small "t" traumas, our brain can process through the event(s), but sometimes it gets stuck, so EMDR can break the paralysis. We can get stuck in the left brain, right brain or amygdala and end up paralyzed. We use the eye movement to allow our three brains to calm down and listen to and soothe one another. Getting those three parts of your brain all active usually break the stranglehold of trauma.

San Jose, California therapist: Edie Ye, licensed clinical social worker
Trauma and PTSD

Edie Ye

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
One of my specialties is in supporting the impact of trauma, including complex trauma, and PTSD, on our entire system (mind, body, and spirit). I draw upon a variety of experiential, process-oriented modalities to support long-term healing of trauma, including parts work, somatic work, psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, and attachment-based relational work to build trust with the body and supporting the nervous system, both of which often become chronically dysregulated with trauma.
