Monterey, California therapist: Kayzim Suárez-Reyes, psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

Kayzim Suárez-Reyes

Psychologist, PhD
As someone who has experienced trauma, I know how hard it is to deal with ghosts from the past! I have specialized psychological expertise in trauma, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the complex dynamics of intergenerational trauma. I'm specifically trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based method for helping youth and their families process traumatic experiences. I understand that trauma is not just a memory, but a pervasive, ongoing disruption to the nervous system and one's core sense of self and safety. I utilize a range of trauma-informed approaches to help clients safely process past events, regulate emotional and physiological responses, and move out of patterns of chronic activation or emotional numbing. My goal is to support you in breaking the cycle of pain, reclaiming your narrative, and fostering post-traumatic growth to build a future defined by connection, presence, and genuine peace.

Santa Cruz, California therapist: Rory Valentine Diller, registered psychotherapist
Trauma and PTSD

Rory Valentine Diller

Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
Somatic Therapy incorporates body-based practices, Neuroscience, and Psychobiology into traditional Talk Therapy. This Holistic approach is particularly beneficial to Trauma Survivors struggling with symptoms of PTSD. Trauma impacts the Nervous System and brain functioning which often leaves traumatic experiences and trauma memories unprocessed in the body and unconscious mind, as Bessel van der Kolk famously stated, “The Body Keeps The Score.” This can lead to symptoms of PTSD (re-experiencing, flashbacks, angry outbursts, hyper vigilance, insomnia, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, dissociation, shame, and a fractured sense of Self) and requires understanding and focused attention to the mind-body connection during treatment and recovery.
