Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma can change the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. Whether you've experienced a single traumatic event or ongoing trauma over time, the effects can continue long after the experience has ended. You may find yourself living in survival mode—feeling constantly on edge, overwhelmed by intrusive memories, nightmares, anxiety, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or avoiding situations that remind you of what happened. These are common responses to trauma, and healing is possible.
At Holding Space Therapy, we specialize in trauma-informed care and provide evidence-based treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, childhood trauma, first responder trauma, and other trauma-related concerns. We understand that every person's experience is unique, and therapy is tailored to your individual history, needs, and goals. Our priority is to create a safe, supportive environment where healing can occur at a pace that feels manageable and empowering. Treatment may include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, grounding techniques, and nervous system regulation. Together, we'll work to process traumatic memories, reduce emotional distress, challenge trauma-related beliefs, strengthen coping skills, and help your mind and body move out of survival mode. The goal is not to erase your experiences but to lessen their impact so they no longer control your daily life.
We have extensive experience working with adults who have experienced childhood abuse, sexual abuse, relationship trauma, medical trauma, workplace trauma, and cumulative stress, including first responders, healthcare professionals, and others in high-stress occupations who are regularly exposed to traumatic events. We also recognize how trauma can affect relationships, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and your sense of safety, and we address these areas as part of the healing process. Recovery from trauma is possible. You are more than what has happened to you, and you don't have to carry the weight of your experiences alone. With compassionate support and evidence-based treatment, you can build resilience, reconnect with your strengths, restore a sense of safety, and create a life guided by hope rather than fear.

Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma and PTSD can be discovered on several levels. For example -- a one time car crash. A victim or a crime. Abuse of any kind. Chronic child abuse. Relational abuse. Being bullied or humiliated. Past traumas that are not resolved are held in a special organ in the brain called the 'amygdala.' The traumatic memory can be 'triggered' off and on for years -- which can and will ultimately interfere in many aspects of ones life. The great news is that unprocessed traumas and PTSD can be effectively treated. You can be free of disturbing memories and emotional recalls that cause anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, etc. Help is available.

Christine Jones
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Highly stressful and/or adverse events can lead to lingering trauma memories. They tend to cause disturbance in our mind and bodies, sometimes in the form of higher anxiety, mood issues, negative relationship loops, greater avoidance, and a negative impression of self. Science-based treatments have demonstrated recovery from a diverse array of traumas that stem from childhood and adulthood. Treatment outcomes often include little to no emotional charge on the worst memories, an automatic balanced sense of self, and a lifting of past symptomatology.

Benedict Choi, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDR, IFS Informed
I am trained in EMDR and IFS and have worked with many clients suffering from PTSD, complex trauma, as well as phobias, panic attacks and anxiety. I believe that we all have parts that hold trauma, and burdens that need releasing. I also believe in acknowledging the parts that had to adapt to extremely painful and scary experiences, parts that had to learn to protect us by numbing, dissociating, raging (to name a few). These parts had to show up this way when trauma and distressing experiences occurred, to keep you safe. It is extremely important to extended gratitude towards these protectors first before approaching the ones that hold the pain.

When a painful past experience keeps showing up in your present-day reactions, it can feel like you're permanently on high alert. We will work together at a pace that feels completely safe for you, often using EMDR, helping your brain and body finally register that you are out of danger.

Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Trauma can remain present long after the danger has passed, affecting your nervous system, relationships, self-worth, and sense of safety. You may experience anxiety, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, hypervigilance, shame, or patterns that once helped you survive but now keep you feeling stuck.
As a Certified EMDR Therapist and Certified Trauma Therapist, I approach healing with compassion, safety, and careful pacing. Therapy may integrate EMDR, grounding, emotional regulation, mindfulness, and inner child work. You will not be pressured to revisit painful experiences before you are ready. Together, we work to reduce trauma’s hold, restore inner security, and help you move forward with greater freedom, confidence, and connection.

Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Trauma and PTSD are so incredibly common and underrecognized. People often go decades in their lives with undiagnosed PTSD and trauma without even realizing it. It is important to unveil the traumatic experiences we have gone through in our lives. Some people can experience trauma and not develop PTSD. However, there are many people who experience trauma and don't recognize they have. I am here to work with you through that. I can provide you a safe place to explore the traumatic experiences that are causing you pain, and we can begin to get your life back in order, one piece at a time.
