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.

Newport Beach, California therapist: Romina Schnelle, marriage and family therapist
PTSD/Trauma

Romina Schnelle

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma can affect how you think, feel, relate to others, and experience the world long after a difficult event has passed. You may experience intrusive memories, nightmares, anxiety, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, or feel stuck in patterns that are difficult to explain. I specialize in helping adults heal from both single-incident and complex trauma using evidence-based, trauma-informed care, including EMDR when appropriate. Because every person's healing journey is unique, treatment is tailored to your individual needs, readiness, and goals. My goal is to help you safely process difficult experiences, reduce the impact of trauma on your daily life, and move toward greater resilience, connection, and well-being.

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

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
PTSD/Trauma

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.

Campbell, California therapist: Janice Shapiro, marriage and family therapist
PTSD/Trauma

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.

San Francisco, California therapist: California Center for Change, psychologist
PTSD/Trauma

California Center for Change

Psychologist, PhD
Many people who struggle with addiction are also carrying the weight of experiences that were never fully processed, childhood wounds, losses, or events that left a lasting mark on how they see themselves and the world. Substances can become a way of managing the pain, the numbness, or the hypervigilance that trauma leaves behind. We are trained in trauma-informed approaches and work gently and carefully to help you make sense of what happened, reduce the hold it has on your present life, and build a stronger foundation for lasting change.

Santa Monica, California therapist: Timothy Walker, marriage and family therapist
PTSD/Trauma

Timothy Walker

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma, and the potential diagnosis of PTSD, can stem from a variety of experiences. Sometimes it is acute trauma, a singular event, forever burned within our being, that follows us in everything we do. Sometimes it is complex or chronic trauma, a series of events or exposures that eventually broke down our ability to remain intact of body, mind or spirit. Trauma can be healed. The parts of ourselves that were harmed can be welcomed back within the larger self, forgiven. The scars will always be there, there is no time machine that can change what has happened. Yet with integration, we can rebuild our inner world to something whole, and alive.
