Whether you’ve experienced a single, terrible event, a pattern of mistreatment or abuse, or even long-standing difficult and painful relationships with parents, the impact on you doesn’t have to remain so heavy. I have training in several research-informed approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based, extensively researched therapy that offers a different approach to treatment by engaging your brain’s natural healing process.

Emma Esper, Marriage and Family Therapist in Newport Beach, CA
PTSD/Trauma

Emma Esper

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Trauma creates profoundly deep and painful wounds. These wounds can be difficult to heal, as we often suppress them, have difficulty expressing them, or do not have safe spaces to unearth them. Unhealed trauma can inform how we make decisions, how we see ourselves, how we see others and our world, and how we react to these things. My work with trauma survivors is to instill hope and self-worth, acknowledge and validate all emotions, create feelings of safety, and provide permission giving for struggle. Remember, it is okay to not be okay.

I specialize in working with queer, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent adults struggling with the impacts of trauma as well as feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, difficult family relationships, and identity exploration. Ultimately, I'm not interested in "treating" your neurodivergence but I will support you wholeheartedly in navigating the complexities that come with it.

PTSD/Trauma

Scheyden Herold

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Trauma and PTSD are so incredibly common and underrecognized. People often go decades in their lives with undiagnosed PTSD and trauma without even realizing it. It is important to unveil the traumatic experiences we have gone through in our lives. Some people can experience trauma and not develop PTSD. However, there are many people who experience trauma and don't recognize they have. I am here to work with you through that. I can provide you a safe place to explore the traumatic experiences that are causing you pain, and we can begin to get your life back in order, one piece at a time.
