Trauma and PTSD
Tracy Sachs
Therapist, MA, AMFT
I work with trauma from body and soul perspectives. By drawing upon somatic modalities, we will explore how your nervous system responded to traumatic events and work towards reintegrating the experience from a more regulated and spacious place. From a soul perspective, trauma can be understood as not having the love, support, and sense of being witnessed when a traumatic experience occurred. Together we will tend to your body and soul so that you are no longer at the mercy of trauma.

Trauma and PTSD
Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In navigating the healing journey from trauma and PTSD, my practice honors the profound insight that healing transcends the physical and psychological realms, reaching deep into the spiritual fabric of our being. Guided by Peter Levine's understanding that trauma's impact is less about the events themselves and more about what we hold inside without an empathetic witness, I integrate a spiritual lens that enriches the therapeutic process. This approach is not only about storytelling and witnessing but also involves the sacred work of soul retrieval—reclaiming the pieces of the self that were lost or disassociated in the wake of traumatic experiences.
Specializing in childhood trauma, complex trauma, and PTSD, I offer a compassionate, spiritually informed space where individuals can explore and articulate their deepest wounds and embark on a path of profound transformation. This journey is about giving voice to the inner child's silenced pain and facilitating soul retrieval, which empowers healing at the most integral levels of one's being. By incorporating spiritual practices and perspectives, I help clients connect with their inner wisdom and the universal energies that support their healing process.
For parents navigating the dual challenges of healing their trauma while breaking cycles of pain, my approach provides not just therapeutic support but spiritual guidance, aiding them in reparenting themselves and fostering a healing environment for their families. Echoing Maya Angelou's words on the agony of untold stories, my aim is to ensure these stories are not only heard but deeply seen through a spiritual lens, facilitating a healing process that leads to liberation, soul retrieval, and a reconnection with one's authentic self. This holistic, spiritually enriched approach invites individuals to reclaim their story, their spirit, and their path forward, embodying resilience and renewal.

Lisa Paer
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
I provide trauma therapy that can help you heal from the wounds of the past and live a more fulfilling life. My service is based on a technique called EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR is a proven method that can help you process your traumatic memories and reduce their negative impact on your present and future. It can help you feel less distressed, more confident, and more in control of your emotions and reactions to triggers. Whether you've experienced a single event or a series of traumas, I can help you work through them. I'm a trauma-informed therapist who will create a safe and supportive space for you to work through your past, enhance your coping skills, and improve your quality of life.

Trauma and PTSD
Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I haven't met a client who couldn't benefit from some degree of healing from trauma, whether relational, developmental, systemic, big T, complex trauma, PTSD... we all carry trauma in varying degrees until we're able to integrate it. My work is trauma informed, with a foundation in somatic psychotherapy which is needed for lasting results - trauma impacts the body as well as the brain. If you ignore the body in therapy the thoughts and emotions may improve for a time, but the patterns of constriction that impact the body will remain and sooner or later the distressing thoughts and emotions will return. I also draw on EMDR, neurobiology, energy psychology, self-compassion, mindfulness and other modalities. My work is compassionate yet direct and results driven.

Trauma and PTSD
Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma affects our lives in many, many ways. There are complex traumas which occur when an individual endures ongoing, long-term and repetitive abuse of some nature- be it physical, sexual or emotional. Simple traumas, while limited to a single event, are just as devastating for the emotional well-being of the patient. Trauma can be debilitating, lead to addictions, cause unconscious behavior patterns, be completely repressed, and significantly impact our interpersonal and familial relationships.
My therapeutic approach to trauma, offers a nurturing, systematic, and comforting methodology that quietly explores the nature of the trauma in a safe and gentle environment.

We bring 14+ years of experience with complex trauma, dissociation care and recovery, memory reconsolidation and other neurodevelopmental care, attachmemt care and support... We specialize in CSAS - Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse, Colonial and/or Narcissistic/Trauma Recovery. Our approach is systems and neurodevelopmental and at times ethnotraditional/ecorelational based. We bring compassion and empathy to trauma recovery support. There is a deep understanding of the internal and external affects of trauma recovery. Care providers are sometimes also survivors who have been through the recovery and have deep compassion for the process. We look at and work with intersectional issues of oppression. We also recognize many instances of socially derived trauma are intergenerational, lateralized and or oppressive and ongoing, clients are often addressing childhood, as well as, adult trauma from a non-self-shaming compassion based approach such as, Intersectional Care, Parts Work including TIST -- Trauma Informed Stabilization Theory, IFS -- Internal Family Systems; Somatic Work and distance CranioSacral; DBR, Polyvagal and Attachment Theory based approaches... non dominant handwriting, addiction care, memory reconsolidation and existential/coherence level care. We also integrate understanding of Transformative and Social Justice to bring awareness to internalized oppression that can keep survivors looped into dangerous experiences. We have a decolonizing orientation to care! This work is a special calling, during and post trauma recovery, folks may even feel more affirmed and move towards creative and fulfilling Self actualization in their process. We welcome POC and GM folks with intersecting care needs. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
I specialize in treating individuals who have experienced chronic relational trauma, sometimes referred to as complex PTSD. Complex relational trauma results in problems in sustaining healthy intimate relationships, difficulty in trusting others, and disorganized attachment bonds. I also work with individuals who have suffered a singular traumatic experience, such as witnessing a homicide, or surviving a loved one's suicide. These experiences are sometimes called traumatic grief. You may have witnessed an accident, been involved in a natural disaster, or survived a war or difficult migration and be experiencing intrusive thoughts, memories, or dreams about that most distressing and demanding experience. We can work together to process these unbearable experiences with great care and sensitivity, at a pace that is comfortable for you.
