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.

Jennifer Pudlo Therapy & Wellness Consulting
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Trauma can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or as though you're constantly reliving painful experiences, making it difficult to feel safe, trust others, or fully engage in life. Using a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, I provide a safe and supportive space to help you process difficult experiences, understand the impact of trauma on your mind and body, and develop healthier ways of coping and healing. My goal is to help you move beyond surviving, restore a sense of safety and empowerment, and reconnect with the life and relationships that matter most.
