Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Trauma can remain active long after the event has ended, shaping the nervous system’s expectations of safety, danger, trust, and control. PTSD may appear through intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, irritability, shame, or a body that continues reacting as though the threat is still present. Treatment is not about forcing disclosure or repeatedly reliving what happened before adequate stability exists. The work begins by strengthening safety and regulation, then carefully addressing the memories, beliefs, and protective responses that keep the past organized as a present danger. The goal is not to erase the experience, but to help the mind and body recognize that it is no longer happening and restore the capacity for connection, choice, and fuller participation in life.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
I work with trauma from body and soul perspectives. By drawing upon somatic modalities, we will explore how your nervous system responded to traumatic events and work towards reintegrating the experience from a more regulated and spacious place. From a soul perspective, trauma can be understood as not having the love, support, and sense of being witnessed when a traumatic experience occurred. Together we will tend to your body and soul so that you are no longer at the mercy of trauma.

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.

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.

Simi Valley is a Ventura County suburb long ranked among America's safest cities, home to many first responders, law enforcement families, and aerospace workers, with the Reagan Presidential Library on its hills. Mental health needs include first-responder occupational stress — a population notoriously reluctant to seek help — family and adolescent pressures, and wildfire-season anxiety shared across the region. Local practices and the LA-Ventura provider market serve the community.
