Palo Alto, California therapist: Anders Greenwood, psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

Anders Greenwood

Psychologist, Psy.D, Ph.D.
I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.

Menlo Park, California therapist: Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy, psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy

Psychologist, PhD, MBA
In treating trauma and PTSD, I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a proven, structured approach that helps individuals reframe and process their traumatic experiences. Through this evidence-based treatment, we work together to challenge unhelpful beliefs about safety, power, trust, esteem and intimacy, and process the emotions tied to the trauma. By focusing on these areas, CPT helps reduce symptoms of PTSD and empowers clients to regain control over their lives, improving emotional resilience and overall well-being.

Union City, California therapist: Elena Duong, psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

Elena Duong

Psychologist, Psy.D.
Trauma can leave marks on the body, not just the mind. It may show up as tight muscles, exhaustion, headaches, stomach trouble, or feeling stuck in a constant state of alert. Healing is often best approached gently, with rest, steady routines, calm breathing, small movements, and compassionate support. Recovery is not about forcing yourself to “get over it,” but about helping your body feel safe again, one small step at a time.

San Francisco, California therapist: Susanna La, psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

Susanna La

Psychologist, Ph.D.
Our traumas not only impact our internal experiences of distress but also our relationships, our work, and overall quality of life. It can be difficult to differentiate between your own survival mechanisms and the coping strategies you inherited. To prevent passing on your trauma responses to the next generation, you can unlearn what is no longer serving you while also learning new skills.

Santa Clara, California therapist: Suzanna Freerksen, psychiatrist
Trauma and PTSD

Suzanna Freerksen

Psychiatrist, MD
I bring a trauma-informed lens to everything I do, encouraging agency, choice, and meeting a person where they are. I am trained in several trauma-informed modalities, most notably DBT and EMDR. DBT training was through Marsha Linehan's Behavior Tech. I was trained in EMDR by the EMDR Institute for basic training and received advanced training for recent events and group reprocessing through CONNECT EMDR. As a psychiatrist I am comfortable with prescribing medications as well as therapy. My psychiatry practice is focused on you and how you can best achieve your goals, whether that is medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination of all three. Let's work together to help you get 'unstuck'.

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.

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 Internal Family Systems and psychodynamic therapies, we work together finding and practicing strategies that work for each client.
