Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
In treating trauma and PTSD, I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a proven, structured approach that helps individuals reframe and process their traumatic experiences. Through this evidence-based treatment, we work together to challenge unhelpful beliefs about safety, power, trust, esteem and intimacy, and process the emotions tied to the trauma. By focusing on these areas, CPT helps reduce symptoms of PTSD and empowers clients to regain control over their lives, improving emotional resilience and overall well-being.

Hayden Dover
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, CST
Trauma can affect the body, emotions, relationships, sexuality, trust, identity, and the ability to feel present in your own life. My approach is grounded, respectful, and body-aware. I work with clients to understand how past experiences may still be shaping present patterns, while supporting greater awareness, regulation, choice, and connection. The work is not about forcing the past open. It is about creating enough safety and understanding for meaningful change.

Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I approach therapy from the belief that emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and other psychological concerns are best understood not only by their symptoms, but by how we respond to pain, uncertainty, expectations, and change. My work often focuses on helping clients recognize unhelpful patterns, become less governed by comparison or rigid thinking, tolerate discomfort more effectively, and identify small but meaningful shifts that can change the direction of their lives. Rather than viewing people as simply “right or wrong” or “well or unwell,” I try to understand what is happening, how it developed, and what may help someone move forward with greater awareness, flexibility, and intention.
