San Luis Obispo, California therapist: Christina Dee, marriage and family therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Christina Dee

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
Human beings have an innate ability to overcome the effects of diverse traumas. Because trauma destabilizes the nervous system, life can be experienced with a tremendous amount of stress and reactivity (hyperarousal) as well as numbness and indifference (hypoarousal). When we address the emotional and energetic aspects of trauma, our higher-self can re-engage with the distressed body to nurture recovery and rebalancing. The practice of resourcing (the ability to use internal and external resources to constructively achieve a relaxed but alert state of being) builds up and restores long-term resilience. Resourcing anchors our nervous system with calm and ease, enhances our ability to respond to spontaneous stress and refreshes our sense of self, connections to others, and feelings about the world.

Pasadena, California therapist: Bonnie Rae, marriage and family therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Bonnie Rae

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Trauma can often keep people stuck and engaged in unhealthy patterns and relationships that no longer serve them. I am a trauma focused therapist, using attachment focus therapists, psychodynamic therapy, EMDR and ISTDP (Intensive Short Term Dynamic Therapy) to help deeper processing of trauma and PTSD.

Oakland, California therapist: Alana Morazzini, licensed clinical social worker
Trauma and PTSD

Alana Morazzini

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with a healing approach called Internal Family Systems (IFS), which gently explores the different "parts" of you that have been shaped by past experiences. This work is especially meaningful for those who have navigated relational trauma or PTSD — and for anyone who simply wants a safe, compassionate space to make sense of their story and move toward healing.

Del Mar, California therapist: Marge Michaelson, licensed clinical social worker
Trauma and PTSD

Marge Michaelson

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Trauma and PTSD exist because of explicit and implicit memory of events that are out of the ordinary. Therapy explores the connection to both in a safe environment. Symptoms arise from these experiences that can be debilitating and exhausting. Sorting out these connections lead to healing.
