Trauma and PTSD therapists in Ripon, California CA
Jeffrey Gianelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma may be something horrific or something that you tell yourself "it wasn't so bad, others have it worse." We often make light of the things that hurt or scared us or made us feel less than, however, your struggles matter just as much as anyone else's. When trauma is severe, we develop patters that you might call "PTSD"- patterns of fear, hopelessness, constantly being on edge, having to avoid so many things. Trauma is stored in our bodies and our bodies remember. But there is hope and help is available. Therapies like EMDR (which I am fully certified in) heal both the body and mind. Adding in other treatments like polyvagal based exercises or mindfulness can go even further. I have been through it myself and I know that transformation is possible.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand that almost everyone has experienced trauma at some point in life. A trauma-informed approach means we help you develop, practice, and foster body-regulating coping skills to help you respond differently to the underlying trauma. Will we address the specifics of your trauma? Maybe, but only when you are ready. I am now offering Virtual Reality therapy to help with trauma and PTSD. Further, I will be using EMDR for in-person sessions.
