Santa Cruz, California therapist: Rory Valentine Diller, registered psychotherapist
Trauma and PTSD

Rory Valentine Diller

Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
Somatic Therapy incorporates body-based practices, Neuroscience, and Psychobiology into traditional Talk Therapy. This Holistic approach is particularly beneficial to Trauma Survivors struggling with symptoms of PTSD. Trauma impacts the Nervous System and brain functioning which often leaves traumatic experiences and trauma memories unprocessed in the body and unconscious mind, as Bessel van der Kolk famously stated, “The Body Keeps The Score.” This can lead to symptoms of PTSD (re-experiencing, flashbacks, angry outbursts, hyper vigilance, insomnia, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, dissociation, shame, and a fractured sense of Self) and requires understanding and focused attention to the mind-body connection during treatment and recovery.

Guerneville, California therapist: Dawn Holtan, marriage and family therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Dawn Holtan

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Everyone knows that trauma changes us. Most of us need to also hear, and remember, that we can heal. Our cultural stories can make that process hard to even imagine, since so much of what we are told is that certain things break us beyond repair. I am here to help you see through that lie, and help you understand that we human beings have the capacity to heal and become stronger than we were before. I bring deep empathy and a healthy sense of humor into the work that I do. Together, we will be able to hold the darkness and begin to let in the light. Folks I work with regularly tell me that they love being able to laugh with me, and that it helps them to be able to tell me anything without feeling judged or shamed. You deserve to be seen for who you really are.

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.

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

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.
