PTSD/Trauma
Alejandra Kenia Ipina
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma can be from a single incident or from various events across time. Changing the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us. You may be feeling disconnected from your body, feeling shame, or anger without fully understanding whether you are responding to the present moment or the past. Through somatic therapy we can explore the moments you feel blended to bring clarity, release stored grief or tension to help you live in the present moment.

Benedict Choi, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDR, IFS Informed
I am trained in EMDR and IFS and have worked with many clients suffering from PTSD, complex trauma, as well as phobias, panic attacks and anxiety. I believe that we all have parts that hold trauma, and burdens that need releasing. I also believe in acknowledging the parts that had to adapt to extremely painful and scary experiences, parts that had to learn to protect us by numbing, dissociating, raging (to name a few). These parts had to show up this way when trauma and distressing experiences occurred, to keep you safe. It is extremely important to extended gratitude towards these protectors first before approaching the ones that hold the pain.

Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
You may carry the effects of difficult or painful experiences even if you don’t always think of what happened as “trauma.” Maybe you’re easily on edge, have a hard time trusting people, shut down when things become overwhelming, or feel responsible for keeping everyone else okay. You might be very independent, struggle to ask for help, or notice that certain situations bring up reactions that feel bigger than what’s happening in the moment.
Trauma therapy doesn’t mean you have to tell me everything that happened or revisit painful experiences before you’re ready. We’ll pay attention to what’s affecting you now and work at a pace that allows us to stay curious about what comes up without pushing past what feels manageable. Over time, the goal is to help you understand your responses, feel more able to stay with yourself when difficult emotions come up, and have more choice in how you respond to yourself, other people, and what’s happening around you.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma and PTSD can be discovered on several levels. For example -- a one time car crash. A victim or a crime. Abuse of any kind. Chronic child abuse. Relational abuse. Being bullied or humiliated. Past traumas that are not resolved are held in a special organ in the brain called the 'amygdala.' The traumatic memory can be 'triggered' off and on for years -- which can and will ultimately interfere in many aspects of ones life. The great news is that unprocessed traumas and PTSD can be effectively treated. You can be free of disturbing memories and emotional recalls that cause anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, etc. Help is available.

PTSD/Trauma
Christine Jones
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Highly stressful and/or adverse events can lead to lingering trauma memories. They tend to cause disturbance in our mind and bodies, sometimes in the form of higher anxiety, mood issues, negative relationship loops, greater avoidance, and a negative impression of self. Science-based treatments have demonstrated recovery from a diverse array of traumas that stem from childhood and adulthood. Treatment outcomes often include little to no emotional charge on the worst memories, an automatic balanced sense of self, and a lifting of past symptomatology.

Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
As an EMDR certified therapist, I help people recover from traumatic experiences. Even though our mind knows the trauma happened in the past, our bodies can relive these experiences in the present. EMDR allows the mind and body to heal and reconnect as you process traumatic experiences and move toward a place of wholeness and restoration.
