Whether you’ve experienced a single, terrible event, a pattern of mistreatment or abuse, or even long-standing difficult and painful relationships with parents, the impact on you doesn’t have to remain so heavy. I have training in several research-informed approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based, extensively researched therapy that offers a different approach to treatment by engaging your brain’s natural healing process.

Trauma can leave deep emotional scars, affecting how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us.

In our work together, I’ll provide a safe, supportive space to explore and heal from your past experiences. Through trauma-informed techniques, we’ll address the emotional and physical effects of trauma, helping you process, release, and rebuild. My goal is to empower you to reclaim your strength, build healthier coping strategies, and move toward a life of healing, peace, and resilience. You don’t have to carry the weight of trauma alone—healing is possible, and you deserve to feel whole again.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy, licensed professional counselor
Trauma and PTSD

Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Trauma just means wound — and most of us are carrying more than we realize. It shows up in our relationships, our bodies, our patterns, the ways we shrink or explode or go numb. The question isn't whether you've been affected but how deeply, and what's possible on the other side of actually healing it. I bring extensive experience working with trauma and PTSD and am honored to offer some of the most effective trauma-focused approaches available — including EMDR, Flash Technique, ketamine-assisted EMDR, and psychedelic-assisted therapy — alongside the foundational skills and relational work that make deeper healing possible. Intensives available for those ready to go further, faster. This work can give you back parts of yourself you may have forgotten existed.

Los Angeles, California therapist: David Gumpert, psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

David Gumpert

Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma is not limited to specific big life events that are obvious to everyone. Trauma can be chronic experiences in childhood of feeling dismissed, overlooked, or of being exposed to highly chaotic environments. Trauma isn't only about events that happened in the past, but how it can shape our nervous system and cause us to not trust others. Acceptance and commitment therapy can be highly effective in developing strategies to make sense of and move forward from trauma.
