Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
I specialize in treating individuals who have experienced chronic relational trauma, sometimes referred to as complex PTSD. Complex relational trauma results in problems in sustaining healthy intimate relationships, difficulty in trusting others, and disorganized attachment bonds. I also work with individuals who have suffered a singular traumatic experience, such as witnessing a homicide, or surviving a loved one's suicide. These experiences are sometimes called traumatic grief. You may have witnessed an accident, been involved in a natural disaster, or survived a war or difficult migration and be experiencing intrusive thoughts, memories, or dreams about that most distressing and demanding experience. We can work together to process these unbearable experiences with great care and sensitivity, at a pace that is comfortable for you.

Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
Trauma and PTSD can be the result of one traumatic incident, abusive relationship(s), difficult life situations, etc. Bilateral stimulation and EMDR are clinical proven treatments which can be very affective. There are other treatments which can further treatment outcomes, such as attachment and coping skills training. There is no one size fits all treatment but therapy can be extremely affective.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
I specialize in childhood trauma and C-PTSD, the kind that comes from being in emotionally or relationally unsafe situations over and over, usually in ways nobody around you noticed. Often it doesn’t feel like trauma. Being the capable one, the good kid, or the one who held it together worked, until it didn’t.
Peter Levine wrote that trauma is less about what happened and more about what we’ve held inside without an empathetic witness. For a lot of people, healing starts there, with being seen and heard and finally telling the story. From there, we work with your younger parts and the protectors that kept you safe. We also do soul retrieval, bringing back the parts of you that had to leave to survive. Many of my clients are parents breaking the cycle, reparenting themselves while raising their kids.

Emily Maynard
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You can't self-help-book your way out of the long-term impacts of Trauma, PTSD, and C-PSTD, and you don't have to heal on your own. The good news is, I'm certified in EMDR Therapy for trauma impacts, and have a holistic, steady approach to treatment. We won't go too fast, but you also don't have to carry these symptoms forever. If it's still bothering you, it's worth treating. I'm specialized in treating Religious Trauma, Purity Culture Trauma, Sexual Assault and Sexual Abuse Traumas, but also work with Complex and Attachment Traumas. We'll help your body finally feel safe and rebuild your intuition after what happened, so you can write your own story.
