TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
PTSD requires lots of patience as the individual in treatment learns to interact with the world again. Traumatic experiences shut down everything in the person's mind/body, and in their social interactions, and create a lot of isolation. To counter all this, I recommend a unique program for each patient that includes talking at least twice a week, micro-stimulation to develop new pathways in the brain, supplements to heal the brain, music therapy (see Steven Halpern), sleep therapy, and the creation of "flow experiences" to strengthen the person's sense of self. Trauma is not easy to turn around, But, over a consistent period of time, expressing one's emotions and following a set routine (including the above), will always lead to healing.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma can affect how individuals experience safety, relationships, and themselves long after the event has passed. I provide a steady and paced approach to help process these experiences without overwhelming the system.

Jesse R Cardin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW
Traumatic experiences can continue to shape the way we think, feel, and relate long after the event has passed. Healing begins by creating a safe space to gently process those experiences and reclaim parts of yourself that may have been lost along the way.

David Sudyka

Trauma can continue to affect you long after the event has passed, showing up as intrusive memories, heightened anxiety, or feeling on edge. It can impact your sense of safety and the way you move through the world. In therapy we will work at a pace that feels safe to process what you have been through while also building tools to manage symptoms. The goal is to help you feel more grounded, more in control, and less impacted by the past.
