Dr. Claire Vines, Psy.D., Psychologist / Licensed /Psychotherapy / Psychoanalytic/
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage, Couples, LMFT. Psy.D. Trauma-Focused CBT
Remembering that psychological trauma and secondary trauma are connected to fears, negative attachments of unattended emotional memories of past events, it is important to remind yourself that the trauma is over; you have survived it. Take the time to externalize painful emotions. Re-evaluating and perspective of the past can heal the present, leading to a more positive time for the future.

Elnaz Mayeh (WellBeCounseling)
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, EMDR Trained
I specialize in helping people heal from trauma and PTSD in a way that feels safe, empowering, and paced for you. Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and the world, but recovery is absolutely possible. My approach combines a humanistic, compassionate presence with evidence-based tools like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help your mind and body process what’s been stuck. We’ll work together to release old wounds, rebuild a sense of safety, and move toward a life where you feel grounded, whole, and in control again.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Our traumas not only impact our internal experiences of distress but also our relationships, our work, and overall quality of life. It can be difficult to differentiate between your own survival mechanisms and the coping strategies you inherited. To prevent passing on your trauma responses to the next generation, you can unlearn what is no longer serving you while also learning new skills.
