IEMT Trauma Therapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht., NLP, I.E.M.T., B.T.P, Adv-EFT., CBT Specialist
IEMT is uniquely effective for trauma because it doesn’t require talking about the details. It quickly disconnects the emotional overwhelm from the memory, making the past truly feel like the past. Flashbacks and emotional hijacks are common with PTSD. IEMT works by rapidly reducing the charge behind those memories, helping your mind stop reacting as if the danger is still present.

PTSD/Trauma
David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
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.

Tara Maazel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PN1-NC
Trauma can alter our nervous systems, sometimes to the point where you can feel alienated in your own body. We will practice strategies to befriend your nervous system again and help you feel more connected and embodied. Sometimes self-limiting beliefs can keep us repeating the same cycles inadvertently. We will work collaboratively towards unraveling old narratives and ineffective cycles that may feel stagnating. I use Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) to help you gain a deeper understanding of the purpose of certain protective mechanisms so that you can perhaps relate to them in a different way and create new neural pathways. I also offer EMDR for processing traumatic memories and CBT for learning skills to challenge automatic reactions. For those who are interested, I can guide you through creative expression exercises to help you engage with challenges from a different kind of portal and build new perspectives.

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Trauma can remain active long after the event has ended, shaping the nervous system’s expectations of safety, danger, trust, and control. PTSD may appear through intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, irritability, shame, or a body that continues reacting as though the threat is still present. Treatment is not about forcing disclosure or repeatedly reliving what happened before adequate stability exists. The work begins by strengthening safety and regulation, then carefully addressing the memories, beliefs, and protective responses that keep the past organized as a present danger. The goal is not to erase the experience, but to help the mind and body recognize that it is no longer happening and restore the capacity for connection, choice, and fuller participation in life.
