Trauma and PTSD
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Trauma and PTSD often show up as hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, chronic mistrust, or a body that never feels fully at rest. My work focuses on helping clients regain a sense of safety and control in their nervous system, reduce trauma-driven reactions, and reconnect with themselves and others without forcing exposure or retraumatization.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

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.
