Trauma and PTSD can occur from an array of distressing situations. I treat trauma and PTSD using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). This psychotherapeutic process aids in healing by unblocking negative beliefs and restoring positive adaptive beliefs.

Trauma and PTSD
Lisa Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The links between trauma and achievement spotlight the success stories of people who've endured difficult pasts. Through resilience and resourcefulness, some persevered and found success as an outlet for improving self-esteem. How else could you have filled the void of highly critical, emotionally unavailable parents? The trouble is that success may be tough to integrate and truly celebrate as your own, no matter how impressive your resume gets. Fortunately, recovery from trauma is very possible and with time, can foster post-traumatic growth which leads to a more fulfilling life and meaningful relationships. My clinical approach includes Internal Family Systems which explores how different parts of you protect and serve you. Trauma-Focused CBT also helps unravel core-beliefs that may complicate your relationship with yourself, your ability to trust others, or see the world as a safe place.

Trauma and PTSD
Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Trauma can leave deep emotional scars, affecting how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. Whether it’s the impact of past abuse, a difficult childhood, or a life-changing event, unresolved trauma can shape your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships in ways that feel hard to overcome. In our work together, I’ll provide a safe, supportive space to explore and heal from your past experiences. Through trauma-informed techniques, we’ll address the emotional and physical effects of trauma, helping you process, release, and rebuild. My goal is to empower you to reclaim your strength, build healthier coping strategies, and move toward a life of healing, peace, and resilience. You don’t have to carry the weight of trauma alone—healing is possible, and you deserve to feel whole again.

Trauma and PTSD
Shohreh Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Experiencing trauma can have a lasting impact on your emotional and physical well-being. Symptoms of PTSD, as outlined in the DSM-5-TR, may include intrusive memories or flashbacks, avoidance of reminders, negative changes in thoughts and mood, and heightened arousal such as irritability, difficulty sleeping, or being easily startled. These symptoms can disrupt your daily life and relationships. You don’t have to face these challenges alone.
As a skilled psychotherapist, I provide a safe and supportive environment to help you process traumatic experiences at your own pace. Together, we can work on strategies to reduce symptoms, build resilience, and restore a sense of safety and calm in your life.
If you are ready to begin addressing the effects of trauma, I invite you to reach out. Compassionate support is available to guide you toward greater peace and stability.

Vanessa Ffrench
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (140713), Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor
I have a great deal of experience and training in trauma-informed therapy. Most of my work has been with trauma populations; I work with clients to identify childhood traumas, as well as current issues. I use a psychodynamic, trauma-focused lens, and weave in somatic practices to address trauma and release traumatic energy trapped in the body-psyche.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Cristal Lopez
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Welcome! You might be feeling disconnected from your family, friends, children, job, or even the world. I'm Dr. Cristal Lopez, and I believe that we all have powerful strengths. Together, we will explore yours to help you unlock your full potential, connect authentically with others, and show up as your true self. My training at top U.S. children's hospitals, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California Pacific Medical Center, Texas Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, has provided me with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young and mid-life adults, and families.
For my younger clients, I use behavioral and play therapy techniques, while also supporting parents and families to foster healthy connections. With adolescents and adults, I draw on strength-based, humanistic, and relational principles to guide our work together.
Beyond traditional mental health concerns, I specialize and publish work in: coping with chronic illnesses, career-related issues (burnout, work-life balance), trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and stress related to first-responder families. I’m committed to guiding you, your child, or family to a more connected and fulfilling life. Invest in yourself!

Trauma and PTSD
Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Trauma can shape how you think, feel, relate, and respond to the world, often long after the original events have passed. Whether rooted in childhood experiences, relational wounds, or overwhelming life events, trauma can leave the nervous system stuck in patterns of alertness, shutdown, or emotional reactivity. I integrate EMDR and Somatic Experiencing to help the nervous system process these experiences safely so you can feel more present, empowered, and connected in your life.
