TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
My background is in both psychoanalysis and neuroscience (doctorate) and I am also a Certified and Licensed Psychoanalyst. So I am able to bring both a background in research into mind/brain issues, and I am trained as a clinician. I have been working with trauma for many years, and most recently (2016) I have been working with traumatic brain injury patients (including professional athletes). I am grateful for my dual background in mind/brain, because all brain injured patients require both perspectives. In August of 2023 I published "The Complex Architecture and Healing of Traumatic Brain Injuries: Listening to The Brain" with Cambridge Scholars Publishing in the UK. This is the story (based on case histories) of the journey to find a "healing road" for all persons who have had serious disruptions in brain functioning. This is very, very challenging territory to work in. And in my experience, requires a great collaboration between doctor and patient. I am also the author of "Moon Over Seaville," the story of the hunt for a serial arsonist in Southern California (in 4 Episodes). Available everywhere under "Mystery/Thrillers." I have patients all across the country (via phone). Brain injuries can be healed!

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
I believe in the transformative power of psychotherapy. The therapy I practice is grounded in contemporary psychoanalysis, an approach that’s curious about your inner world and attuned to unconscious patterns that shape how you think, feel, and relate to other people. This kind of therapy not only reduces symptoms; it helps you understand yourself on a deeper level, creating lasting change in how you experience yourself and how you show up in your relationships.

David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
We are beings in motion, faced with the opportunity to learn and grow by becoming aware of the tension between what is conscious and unconscious on this journey called life. Psychotherapy and psychoeducation are tools that we can use together on this journey. I focus on helping you to grow, find yourself, and reduce suffering on your journey. People are not a disorder, as that is only looking at the negative, and we already do far too much of that. As Carl Jung said, "We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become".

Valencia is the master-planned heart of Santa Clarita, a family-oriented community north of Los Angeles known for good schools, cul-de-sac suburbia, and the Six Flags Magic Mountain skyline. Mental health needs center on parenting and adolescent pressures, commute strain for LA-bound workers, and the perfectionism that polished suburbs can quietly enforce; the community also carries the memory of the 2019 Saugus High School shooting nearby. Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital and a solid local practitioner base, plus LA's market, provide care.
