Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Jadah Petty
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Trauma is an experience that can impact nearly every aspect of someone's life, from relationships/trust, to work, to self-esteem, to mood and the list goes on. Finding someone who specializes in trauma/PTSD is essential to truly getting the help you need. I offer the gold standard treatments for PTSD (e.g. Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure), as well as treatments like EMDR and STAIR. Building a strong relationship is the first step to help you on your journey to re-engaging in the life you want to lead. I will then help you process your trauma, understand triggers, and develop new coping strategies for managing.

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.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Trauma can leave deep emotional scars, affecting how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. Whether it’s the impact of past abuse, a difficult childhood, or a life-changing event, unresolved trauma can shape your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships in ways that feel hard to overcome. In our work together, I’ll provide a safe, supportive space to explore and heal from your past experiences. Through trauma-informed techniques, we’ll address the emotional and physical effects of trauma, helping you process, release, and rebuild. My goal is to empower you to reclaim your strength, build healthier coping strategies, and move toward a life of healing, peace, and resilience. You don’t have to carry the weight of trauma alone—healing is possible, and you deserve to feel whole again.

Trauma and PTSD
Shana Burns
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Both early and later life traumas come in countless forms. We are each impacted to varying degrees by misattunement in childhood. The effects show up in our relational patterns and at times poor coping. Significant trauma or past pain can cause us to feel a lack of safety in our own bodies and in the world. We seek to offer a reparative experience and environment of reliability, compassion and holding, transforming your trauma into resilience and forgiveness.

Trauma and PTSD
Tyana Tavakol
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When we can't remember our childhoods, and we have large reactions and triggers that feel like they're out of nowhere, it can make it so confusing and frustrating trying to figure out how to break free from the impacts of our trauma. We will work together to process the pains of your past, even if you can't explicitly remember them. It is more than possible to separate what happened to you from who you are today so your trauma becomes just a part of your life's history, not who you are.

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, MSW, ASW, PPSC
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Sabrina Gramatica
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Trauma and PTSD, including complex PTSD (CPTSD) and attachment trauma, can deeply affect emotional and relational well-being. I use a variety of evidence-based modalities, such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CRM (Community Resiliency Model), TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Polyvagal Theory, and more to support healing. EMDR helps process distressing memories, CRM builds nervous system resilience, and TF-CBT addresses negative thought patterns linked to trauma. Polyvagal Theory aids in regulating the body’s stress responses. For CPTSD and attachment trauma, I focus on repairing relationships with the self and others, fostering safety, trust, and emotional regulation. I firmly believe in the healing power of relating to one another in the moment, helping to dismantle previous narratives of abandonment and loneliness, allowing clients to heal and reclaim their sense of self and connection.

Trauma and PTSD
Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Through my years working at different mental health agencies within Los Angeles County and Orange County, trauma has been one of the most common issues clients have talked to me about. Trauma can influence the way somebody thinks or feels about themselves and the world around them. These incredibly stressful events often changes our behavior and impacts our ability to function. I am also trained and certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy, and use a variety of other forms of evidence-based treatment as well.
A quick note about trauma-- these events don't have to be dramatically disturbing to have an impact on your mental health. Feel free to read up on this article, which explains the rising understanding about the wide spectrum of traumatic experiences: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/trauma-and-hope/201703/different-types-trauma-small-t-versus-large-t

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.

Cynthia Cerrato
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Certified in Holistic Integrative Health
At Corazón y Aire, I specialize in trauma and PTSD and hold space through a decolonized lens, recognizing the significant impact of personal and intergenerational trauma on individuals and communities. I understand that trauma is not only an individual experience but also a collective one, often rooted in historical injustices, cultural dislocation, and systemic oppression. My approach emphasizes the importance of honoring cultural narratives and resilience while addressing the complexities of intergenerational trauma. I explore how past experiences—both personal and ancestral—shape current mental health and well-being.
