Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma can change the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. Whether you've experienced a single traumatic event or ongoing trauma over time, the effects can continue long after the experience has ended. You may find yourself living in survival mode—feeling constantly on edge, overwhelmed by intrusive memories, nightmares, anxiety, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or avoiding situations that remind you of what happened. These are common responses to trauma, and healing is possible.
At Holding Space Therapy, we specialize in trauma-informed care and provide evidence-based treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, childhood trauma, first responder trauma, and other trauma-related concerns. We understand that every person's experience is unique, and therapy is tailored to your individual history, needs, and goals. Our priority is to create a safe, supportive environment where healing can occur at a pace that feels manageable and empowering. Treatment may include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, grounding techniques, and nervous system regulation. Together, we'll work to process traumatic memories, reduce emotional distress, challenge trauma-related beliefs, strengthen coping skills, and help your mind and body move out of survival mode. The goal is not to erase your experiences but to lessen their impact so they no longer control your daily life.
We have extensive experience working with adults who have experienced childhood abuse, sexual abuse, relationship trauma, medical trauma, workplace trauma, and cumulative stress, including first responders, healthcare professionals, and others in high-stress occupations who are regularly exposed to traumatic events. We also recognize how trauma can affect relationships, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and your sense of safety, and we address these areas as part of the healing process. Recovery from trauma is possible. You are more than what has happened to you, and you don't have to carry the weight of your experiences alone. With compassionate support and evidence-based treatment, you can build resilience, reconnect with your strengths, restore a sense of safety, and create a life guided by hope rather than fear.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Trauma can remain present long after the danger has passed, affecting your nervous system, relationships, self-worth, and sense of safety. You may experience anxiety, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, hypervigilance, shame, or patterns that once helped you survive but now keep you feeling stuck.
As a Certified EMDR Therapist and Certified Trauma Therapist, I approach healing with compassion, safety, and careful pacing. Therapy may integrate EMDR, grounding, emotional regulation, mindfulness, and inner child work. You will not be pressured to revisit painful experiences before you are ready. Together, we work to reduce trauma’s hold, restore inner security, and help you move forward with greater freedom, confidence, and connection.

Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Trauma creates profoundly deep and painful wounds. These wounds can be difficult to heal, as we often suppress them, have difficulty expressing them, or do not have safe spaces to unearth them. Unhealed trauma can inform how we make decisions, how we see ourselves, how we see others and our world, and how we react to these things. My work with trauma survivors is to instill hope and self-worth, acknowledge and validate all emotions, create feelings of safety, and provide permission giving for struggle. Remember, it is okay to not be okay.

Marley Cote
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS
Shame. Pain. Betrayal. Terror. Panic. Disgust. Rage. These are the common emotions that haunt or plague many survivors of (complex) trauma. Trauma can leave survivors feeling fragmented, dehumanized, and paralyzed. These emotions are often only one part of struggling to survive, with flashbacks and trauma responses often frustrating or flooding survivors. Many survivors often wonder if they will ever feel "normal" again after what has happened, if it is even possible to find safety again within and outside of themselves. In my work with survivors, my clients discover what it means to be grounded again within their bodies, to reclaim safety within their bodies, and to release trauma that has limited them for so long.
