TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
My background is in both psychoanalysis and neuroscience (doctorate) and I am also a Certified and Licensed Psychoanalyst. So I am able to bring both a background in research into mind/brain issues, and I am trained as a clinician. I have been working with trauma for many years, and most recently (2016) I have been working with traumatic brain injury patients (including professional athletes). I am grateful for my dual background in mind/brain, because all brain injured patients require both perspectives. In August of 2023 I published "The Complex Architecture and Healing of Traumatic Brain Injuries: Listening to The Brain" with Cambridge Scholars Publishing in the UK. This is the story (based on case histories) of the journey to find a "healing road" for all persons who have had serious disruptions in brain functioning. This is very, very challenging territory to work in. And in my experience, requires a great collaboration between doctor and patient. I am also the author of "Moon Over Seaville," the story of the hunt for a serial arsonist in Southern California (in 4 Episodes). Available everywhere under "Mystery/Thrillers." I have patients all across the country (via phone). Brain injuries can be healed!

Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe therapy is most healing when it feels like an authentic relationship—one where curiosity, honesty, and courage can coexist. My role is to help you slow down enough to hear yourself, challenge you to notice old patterns that no longer serve you, and offer the scaffolding to create space for new ways of relating to yourself and others. I work collaboratively, with a balance of compassion and directness, to help you gain clarity about your needs and build a greater sense of agency in your life. Together, we work toward a kind of transformation that feels both deeply personal and sustainably real. Reach out to schedule a free 20 minute consultation call to see if we are a good fit for your therapy needs.

Sarah Jane Thomas
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Let's be honest. You have probably heard plenty of advice on how to fix yourself, change your body, or stop feeling so anxious all the time. You might have even tried it all and still feel stuck. I don't believe in adding more rules to your life or pushing you toward some ideal version of who you "should" be. My goal is simply to help you slow down and listen to what you already know deep inside. We will work together to untangle the shame you have been carrying from the actual truth about who you are. This is not about achieving perfection. It is about finding relief from the exhausting pressure to constantly change yourself. You deserve to feel peaceful with your body instead of fighting against it every day. If that sounds like the kind of support you need right now, let's chat to see if we are a good fit.

Lancaster is the largest city of the Antelope Valley, a high-desert community north of Los Angeles shaped by aerospace employment tied to Edwards Air Force Base and the region's flight-test heritage, alongside families drawn by affordability. Geographic isolation from the LA basin, extreme summer heat, and long commutes for many workers contribute to stress, and the valley has historically had fewer providers than its population needs. Antelope Valley Medical Center and regional clinics anchor care, with telehealth increasingly bridging the distance to LA's larger therapy market.
