TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
PTSD requires lots of patience as the individual in treatment learns to interact with the world again. Traumatic experiences shut down everything in the person's mind/body, and in their social interactions, and create a lot of isolation. To counter all this, I recommend a unique program for each patient that includes talking at least twice a week, micro-stimulation to develop new pathways in the brain, supplements to heal the brain, music therapy (see Steven Halpern), sleep therapy, and the creation of "flow experiences" to strengthen the person's sense of self. Trauma is not easy to turn around, But, over a consistent period of time, expressing one's emotions and following a set routine (including the above), will always lead to healing.

Tanya Samuelian
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma isn’t always loud—it can live quietly beneath high achievement, control, or emotional distance. Many high-functioning individuals carry past wounds that continue to impact their relationships, self-worth, or sense of safety. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space to process what’s been buried, reconnect with your inner world, and move toward lasting healing and integration. You don’t have to carry it alone.

As a therapist specializing in trauma recovery, I provide a safe and compassionate space for individuals to heal from past experiences. Together, we'll explore the impact of trauma on your life, emotions, and relationships. Using evidence-based therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), or narrative therapy, I'll help you process and integrate painful memories. We'll work at your pace to build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and restore a sense of safety and control. My goal is to empower you to reclaim your life from the effects of trauma, cultivate self-compassion, and foster meaningful connections with others.

Santa Clarita is a large suburban city north of Los Angeles in the Santa Clarita Valley — one of the primary bedroom communities for the entertainment industry, with a significant population of production workers, crew members, and support staff whose careers are tied to the cycles of film and television production. The city's family-oriented, relatively conservative character contrasts with the precarious employment reality of many of its entertainment-connected residents, and therapists frequently address creative career anxiety, the boom-bust psychology of production employment, and the identity challenges of supporting roles in an industry that prizes visibility. Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community. Santa Clarita's suburban sprawl and car-dependent layout contribute to social isolation themes that therapists encounter frequently.
