Agoura Hills, California therapist: Tracy Sachs, therapist
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.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Jonathan Kruger Therapy, marriage and family therapist
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.

Sacramento, California therapist: Stephanie Brumfield, therapist
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.

Los Angeles, California therapist: David Gumpert, psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

David Gumpert

Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma is not limited to specific big life events that are obvious to everyone. Trauma can be chronic experiences in childhood of feeling dismissed, overlooked, or of being exposed to highly chaotic environments. Trauma isn't only about events that happened in the past, but how it can shape our nervous system and cause us to not trust others. Acceptance and commitment therapy can be highly effective in developing strategies to make sense of and move forward from trauma.

Grass Valley, California therapist: Jessi Blank, licensed professional counselor
Trauma and PTSD

Jessi Blank

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
As a trained and certified integrative somatic trauma therapist, I help clients with history of trauma and PTSD learn how to better move through their various traumas by imploring a "bottom up" method. I start to familiarize my clients with their bodies- teaching them that the body (soma) holds memory of trauma before the brain conceptualizes it. I allow my clients to become familiar with the language of their body by exploring the various sensations they notice and how different stressors show up in their body. I help my clients to become more empowered by helping them map out their nervous system states, making them feel a bit more in control of their own process towards healing the residue that trauma often leaves behind.

Arcata, California therapist: Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D., pre-licensed professional
Trauma and PTSD

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.
