Santa Clara, California therapist: Suzanna Freerksen, psychiatrist
Trauma and PTSD

Suzanna Freerksen

Psychiatrist, MD
I bring a trauma-informed lens to everything I do, encouraging agency, choice, and meeting a person where they are. I am trained in several trauma-informed modalities, most notably DBT and EMDR. DBT training was through Marsha Linehan's Behavior Tech. I was trained in EMDR by the EMDR Institute for basic training and received advanced training for recent events and group reprocessing through CONNECT EMDR. As a psychiatrist I am comfortable with prescribing medications as well as therapy. My psychiatry practice is focused on you and how you can best achieve your goals, whether that is medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination of all three. Let's work together to help you get 'unstuck'.

San Jose, California therapist: Edie Ye, licensed clinical social worker
Trauma and PTSD

Edie Ye

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
One of my specialties is in supporting the impact of trauma, including complex trauma, and PTSD, on our entire system (mind, body, and spirit). I draw upon a variety of experiential, process-oriented modalities to support long-term healing of trauma, including parts work, somatic work, psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, and attachment-based relational work to build trust with the body and supporting the nervous system, both of which often become chronically dysregulated with trauma.

Campbell, California therapist: Janice Shapiro, marriage and family therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Janice Shapiro

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My work as a psychotherapist has always been like a detective uncovering the source. Trauma is no different. Clients usually come to me with intense anxiety, panic attacks, fears and more. We look for patterns from the past and connect the dots. Usually, we find patterns and connections. This is the start of the healing process. Using strategies from Internal Family Systems and psychodynamic therapies, we work together finding and practicing strategies that work for each client.

Miami, Florida therapist: Adela Stone, marriage and family therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Adela Stone

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Unhealed trauma and grief can quietly shape relationships, creating distance, misunderstandings, or reactivity. I provide a supportive, trauma-informed space where couples can navigate loss, address the lingering impact of past wounds, and rebuild a sense of safety and closeness. My goal is to help you face pain together, so it becomes a source of resilience rather than disconnection.

San Francisco, California therapist: California Center for Change, psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

California Center for Change

Psychologist, PhD
Many people who struggle with addiction are also carrying the weight of experiences that were never fully processed, childhood wounds, losses, or events that left a lasting mark on how they see themselves and the world. Substances can become a way of managing the pain, the numbness, or the hypervigilance that trauma leaves behind. We are trained in trauma-informed approaches and work gently and carefully to help you make sense of what happened, reduce the hold it has on your present life, and build a stronger foundation for lasting change.

Santa Monica, California therapist: Timothy Walker, marriage and family therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Timothy Walker

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma, and the potential diagnosis of PTSD, can stem from a variety of experiences. Sometimes it is acute trauma, a singular event, forever burned within our being, that follows us in everything we do. Sometimes it is complex or chronic trauma, a series of events or exposures that eventually broke down our ability to remain intact of body, mind or spirit. Trauma can be healed. The parts of ourselves that were harmed can be welcomed back within the larger self, forgiven. The scars will always be there, there is no time machine that can change what has happened. Yet with integration, we can rebuild our inner world to something whole, and alive.
