Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Trauma can be any experience that shapes the way you view, relate, and develop a relationship with yourself, others, and the world. Exposure to either one big negative event or a cumulative of small negative events can cause people to live in fear, worry, paranoia, stress, and insecurity. Healing from trauma involves a gradual process of restoring safety, processing emotions, and rebuilding connections. Key strategies in therapy with me include practicing self-compassion, grounding techniques, and establishing a support system. Healing is not linear, and it often requires avoiding self-blame, maintaining routines, setting boundaries, and addressing trauma gently over time.

Tracey Kiernan
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Trauma can show up as reactivity, numbness, or feeling stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. Using a somatic and integrative approach, I help you safely process these experiences and build a greater sense of stability and control.

Emily Maynard
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You can't self-help-book your way out of the long-term impacts of Trauma, PTSD, and C-PSTD, and you don't have to heal on your own. The good news is, I'm certified in EMDR Therapy for trauma impacts, and have a holistic, steady approach to treatment. We won't go too fast, but you also don't have to carry these symptoms forever. If it's still bothering you, it's worth treating. I'm specialized in treating Religious Trauma, Purity Culture Trauma, Sexual Assault and Sexual Abuse Traumas, but also work with Complex and Attachment Traumas. We'll help your body finally feel safe and rebuild your intuition after what happened, so you can write your own story.
