TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
My background is in both psychoanalysis and neuroscience (doctorate) and I am also a Certified and Licensed Psychoanalyst. So I am able to bring both a background in research into mind/brain issues, and I am trained as a clinician. I have been working with trauma for many years, and most recently (2016) I have been working with traumatic brain injury patients (including professional athletes). I am grateful for my dual background in mind/brain, because all brain injured patients require both perspectives. In August of 2023 I published "The Complex Architecture and Healing of Traumatic Brain Injuries: Listening to The Brain" with Cambridge Scholars Publishing in the UK. This is the story (based on case histories) of the journey to find a "healing road" for all persons who have had serious disruptions in brain functioning. This is very, very challenging territory to work in. And in my experience, requires a great collaboration between doctor and patient. I am also the author of "Moon Over Seaville," the story of the hunt for a serial arsonist in Southern California (in 4 Episodes). Available everywhere under "Mystery/Thrillers." I have patients all across the country (via phone). Brain injuries can be healed!

Patricia Alba
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You can’t bring yourself to face your past trauma. You’ve been to countless self-help programs and created a self-care routine, but the past still torments you. Deep down, there’s something you can’t confront, a darkness that won’t relent. You’ve been isolating yourself from your friends and family because you’re afraid you’ve become a burden. You feel alone, tired all the time, and annoyed at yourself for not being “over it.”
Sometimes, we need to look backward in order to move forward. I can be your guide, bringing over 20 years of experience resolving past traumas. Using DBT, IFS, EMDR, Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy and psychodynamic treatments, we will explore why the past is still present for you, and through this exploration, we’ll find a new path forward. Find the path to peace you’ve been searching for. Learn how to build resilience and establish healthy connections with your loved ones. Call today for a free consultation to free yourself from the pain of the past and look forward to a better future.

Janie Venturina
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parents of tweens and teens rarely call because of one clear problem. They call because something shifted, their kid stopped talking, and the house feels tense in a way it did not last year. I work with tweens and teens between 11 and 18 who are anxious, down on themselves, quick to anger, or struggling with friendships, and I work with their parents at the same time. Before joining Evidence Based Psychological Care I spent a year and a half as a school-based therapist, which means I have watched these patterns play out during the school day and not only in a parent's description of them. In session I am active rather than quiet. We name what sets a teen off, we build skills they will use, and we work on what happens at home. I have appointments after school, in the evening, and on Saturday mornings, and I can usually see a new family within the week.

Dana Fogel-Stark
Therapist, M.S., LMFT
Welcome to my profile. My name is Dana Fogel-Stark and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in the treatment of Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorder and Couple/Relational Issues. I have been licensed as a psychotherapist for over 20 years and in full time private practice in the heart of Calabasas. My therapeutic approach is eclectic focused on both helping clients gain insight and awareness as to the origin and cause of their struggles as well as helping clients gain the tools and coping mechanisms needed to overcome their challenges. I believe that therapy is most effective when the therapeutic approach is tailored to the specific presenting issues that the client is facing. I create a personalized treatment approach with every new client based on their specific needs. I use Evidence Based Therapy to treat obsessive worries and ruminations, physical manifestations of anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety, and struggles with perfectionism/performance anxiety. My passion for using CBT is that I get to witness significant improvement with clients in a short period of time. In addition to CBT I also use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention as well as teaching emotional intelligence in my work with clients. I look forward to working with you.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
As a relational psychoanalyst, I am trained to listen to what lives beneath your words: the unspoken feelings and unconscious processes that can leave you feeling stuck and quietly unfulfilled. Contemporary psychoanalysis helps us make sense of your life story and gently uncover the parts of yourself kept hidden for safekeeping. I appreciate that beginning the healing process can feel like a profound risk, especially when it means trusting another human being, even a therapist. My approach is shaped by who you are, what you need, and what we come to understand together.
Some of my specialties include working with survivors of childhood abuse (in all of its unfortunate forms); complex trauma; codependency and accommodation; narcissism (including relatives of narcissists); major depression; dissociative disorders (including DID); and dreams and nightmares. I see dreams as gifts our minds bestow upon us on a daily basis.
I absolutely love what I do. I learn from my patients every single day. I practice in person in Los Angeles, and am licensed in the states of CA, NY, NJ, and MA. I welcome you to reach out for a free Zoom consultation.
