Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have a special focus on religious trauma and related issues. I am EMDR trained and for some, this will be the main approach to therapy. However, it is not my only approach. Religious trauma is usually a complex trauma, or as I often say, trauma by 1000 paper cuts. Therefore, it's important for us to build trust and rapport, and to go slow.

Heather Marriatori
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma is an emotional and psychological response to an event. This event could be something you experienced personally or something you witnessed. Your experience could include shock, denial, unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, nightmares, strained relationships and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea. There is no reason to continue experiencing this alone. Contact me and we can discuss ways to get feeling like you're back in control and no longer suffering.

Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Trauma rewires the brain for survival — locking the nervous system in a state of perpetual emergency where the past feels indistinguishable from the present, and safety feels neurologically impossible.
Neurofeedback works where words cannot reach, directly retraining the hyperactivated threat circuits that keep trauma alive in the body. The brain gradually learns to place the past in the past — restoring a felt sense of safety that no amount of understanding alone can generate.

Briana Marshall
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Sometimes the impact of past experiences doesn’t show up all at once, it lives in your body, your reactions, and the ways you try to protect yourself. Clients often come in feeling triggered, emotionally overwhelmed, or disconnected without fully understanding why. Therapy offers a safe space to process those experiences at your pace, without re-traumatization. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded, in control, and safe within yourself again.
