Trauma and PTSD
Tyrene (Ty) Siadous
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
In approaching trauma and PTSD, my therapeutic philosophy revolves around creating a compassionate and understanding space. I guide clients through the process of healing, drawing from modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, we explore the intricate layers of traumatic experiences, differentiating and validating various aspects of the self. Incorporating experiential approaches such as mindfulness, guided sensory exploration, and specialized trauma-focused techniques, I aim to empower clients to navigate the complexities of their trauma. This holistic and individualized approach is designed not only to address the immediate impact of trauma but also to facilitate a transformative journey towards reclaiming a sense of safety, resilience, and personal empowerment.

Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Trauma is what happens when we experience something that is overwhelming or life-threatening. Sexual or physical abuse, neglect, accidents, natural disasters, crime, loss of loved ones... All of these things can leave a mark. Our brain responds to trauma the way it has for thousands and thousands of years. And while that helped us survive in more primitive times, today it can leave us unable to function, riddled with fear and anxiety, avoiding the very things that used to bring us pleasure. At its worse, trauma becomes Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. The good news is that the field of psychology, through the use of brain imaging, has developed powerful treatment approaches to the resolution of trauma and PTSD. The field of Somatic Psychology has been a hotbed for the development of effective treatments including EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, and Sensori-Motor Psychotherapy. With 25 years of experience, training in many of these approaches, and both an MA and Ph.D. in Somatic Psychology, I am eager to help you recover from the devastating impact of trauma.

The entire focus of my practice is addressing how past trauma is impacting you today. You might be surprised by which past events are driving your current symptoms! From a single traumatic event to long-term, compounding trauma . . . I regularly treat it all. That's what I do. It's all I do. We'll go at your pace. It will be hard, but it will be worth it when you realize how much weight has been lifted off of your shoulders!
