San Francisco, California therapist: Jeremy Rhoades, counselor/therapist
PTSD/Trauma

Jeremy Rhoades

Counselor/Therapist, MFT, LPCC, Harm Reduction Specialist, Psychedelic Integration Consultant
Trauma and PTSD can be a portal to new possibilities in the present moment. We can work with trauma and PTSD directly to transmute the energy of being victimized, so that you are not stuck in the story of the trauma, but rather able to acknowledge the difficulty and see how it transports you into the next phase of your life. Or, if it is too difficult to approach it directly, we can slowly build acceptance techniques and see what tools help to mitigate the intensity.

Seattle, Washington therapist: Aaron Kapin, somatic experiencing practitioner
PTSD/Trauma

Aaron Kapin

Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, trauma isn't the thing that happened 15 years ago (or last week), it's the ongoing effects that that incident continues to have on your body. We can work together to figure out how your body is still reacting to that incident, and work to help your body 'catch up' to the present moment. If you're safer now than you were then, there are ways we can help your body 'complete' the threat response from so long ago, and land in the comparative safety of the present moment. I can't treat PTSD, so if you've been diagnosed with PTSD you should still work with a licensed mental health professional, even as you work with me. What I can do is support your body in turning down the volume on that threatened feeling that has been coming up since the trauma-inducing events.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Tara Maazel, licensed clinical social worker
PTSD/Trauma

Tara Maazel

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PN1-NC
Trauma can alter our nervous systems, sometimes to the point where you can feel alienated in your own body. We will practice strategies to befriend your nervous system again and help you feel more connected and embodied. Sometimes self-limiting beliefs can keep us repeating the same cycles inadvertently. We will work collaboratively towards unraveling old narratives and ineffective cycles that may feel stagnating. I use Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) to help you gain a deeper understanding of the purpose of certain protective mechanisms so that you can perhaps relate to them in a different way and create new neural pathways. I also offer EMDR for processing traumatic memories and CBT for learning skills to challenge automatic reactions. For those who are interested, I can guide you through creative expression exercises to help you engage with challenges from a different kind of portal and build new perspectives.

Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
I provide trauma therapy that can help you heal from the wounds of the past and live a more fulfilling life. My service is based on a technique called EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR is a proven method that can help you process your traumatic memories and reduce their negative impact on your present and future. It can help you feel less distressed, more confident, and more in control of your emotions and reactions to triggers. Whether you've experienced a single event or a series of traumas, I can help you work through them. I'm a trauma-informed therapist who will create a safe and supportive space for you to work through your past, enhance your coping skills, and improve your quality of life.

Arcata, California therapist: Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D., pre-licensed professional
PTSD/Trauma

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.

We bring 14+ years of experience with complex trauma, dissociation care and recovery, memory reconsolidation and other neurodevelopmental care, attachmemt care and support... We specialize in CSAS - Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse, Colonial and/or Narcissistic/Trauma Recovery. Our approach is systems and neurodevelopmental and at times ethnotraditional/ecorelational based. We bring compassion and empathy to trauma recovery support. There is a deep understanding of the internal and external affects of trauma recovery. Care providers are sometimes also survivors who have been through the recovery and have deep compassion for the process. We look at and work with intersectional issues of oppression. We also recognize many instances of socially derived trauma are intergenerational, lateralized and or oppressive and ongoing, clients are often addressing childhood, as well as, adult trauma from a non-self-shaming compassion based approach such as, Intersectional Care, Parts Work including TIST -- Trauma Informed Stabilization Theory, IFS -- Internal Family Systems; Somatic Work and distance CranioSacral; DBR, Polyvagal and Attachment Theory based approaches... non dominant handwriting, addiction care, memory reconsolidation and existential/coherence level care. We also integrate understanding of Transformative and Social Justice to bring awareness to internalized oppression that can keep survivors looped into dangerous experiences. We have a decolonizing orientation to care! This work is a special calling, during and post trauma recovery, folks may even feel more affirmed and move towards creative and fulfilling Self actualization in their process. We welcome POC and GM folks with intersecting care needs. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

PTSD/Trauma

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Something bad happens, nothing good follows, and everyone pretends it's okay. This simple series of events can lead to lasting emotional and physical symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms make us feel crazy. Let me assure you, you are not crazy and you are not alone. I am trained in a trauma treatment technique called eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), that can allow for integration of traumatic memories into one's healthy and coherent narrative. I would be honored to provide you a safe space to work through the painful experiences that just won't seem to go away.
