PTSD/Trauma
Shohreh ("Sho-ray") Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Experiencing trauma can have a lasting impact on your emotional and physical well-being. Symptoms of PTSD, as outlined in the DSM-5-TR, may include intrusive memories or flashbacks, avoidance of reminders, negative changes in thoughts and mood, and heightened arousal such as irritability, difficulty sleeping, or being easily startled. These symptoms can disrupt your daily life and relationships. You don’t have to face these challenges alone.
As a skilled psychotherapist, I provide a safe and supportive environment to help you process traumatic experiences at your own pace. Together, we can work on strategies to reduce symptoms, build resilience, and restore a sense of safety and calm in your life.
If you are ready to begin addressing the effects of trauma, I invite you to reach out. Compassionate support is available to guide you toward greater peace and stability.

Thea Integrative Therapy: Celine R. Williams
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT #155675
Trauma and PTSD has a way of building up in our system and creating blocks in our ability to be present, achieve our goals, and self regulate. Thea Integrative Therapy understands how nefarious trauma can be when left unfelt, unexpressed, and unwitnessed. We strive to create a safe space either virtually in California or in our office in Lafayette, CA, in order to support you in sharing your experiences.
Importantly, sharing one's experiences with trauma is not enough to support our body, mind, and spirit in rebalancing from fight, flight, freeze, or fawn activation. In order to disentangle from nervous system activation and trigger reactivity, we need to *feel* the feelings associated with the trauma, while being witnessed by a safe and supportive figure. That's where we come in.
We are here to support you in the messy trenches of trauma processing, and offer you guidance to allow you to safely process and get back on track.

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people feel discouraged when traditional talk therapy doesn’t create lasting change, especially when unresolved developmental trauma is shaping how they function today. I help clients understand how early experiences—often subtle, forgotten, or considered “normal”—continue to influence their adult lives in powerful ways. My approach is warm, informed, and deeply attuned, supporting you in making sense of your history so you can make more intentional choices and create a better tomorrow.

Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
Trauma and PTSD can be the result of one traumatic incident, abusive relationship(s), difficult life situations, etc. Bilateral stimulation and EMDR are clinical proven treatments which can be very affective. There are other treatments which can further treatment outcomes, such as attachment and coping skills training. There is no one size fits all treatment but therapy can be extremely affective.

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.

Trauma therapy has come light years in the last decade. You do not have to relive, or dig up past experiences to heal. I work with both trauma and attachment disruptions, in order to heal going forward and flourish. Through a myriad of relational tools, let's change the landscape and help you get on with your life.

Victoria Miller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
CPT helps people recognize how trauma has changed their view about themselves, others, and the world. CPT teaches people to recognize the negative thoughts that are created by the trauma. These thoughts are called "stuck points" in CPT because they keep people stuck and get in the way of recovery from PTSD (from the National Center for PTSD (.gov))

Samantha Schaefer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Trauma changes the way we see ourselves and the world—but it doesn’t have to define you. Using approaches like EMDR and grounding techniques, I help clients process what’s happened, reconnect with safety, and reclaim their lives on their own terms.
