Alejandra Kenia Ipina
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma can be from a single incident or from various events across time. Changing the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us. You may be feeling disconnected from your body, feeling shame, or anger without fully understanding whether you are responding to the present moment or the past. Through somatic therapy we can explore the moments you feel blended to bring clarity, release stored grief or tension to help you live in the present moment.

Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
As an EMDR certified therapist, I help people recover from traumatic experiences. Even though our mind knows the trauma happened in the past, our bodies can relive these experiences in the present. EMDR allows the mind and body to heal and reconnect as you process traumatic experiences and move toward a place of wholeness and restoration.

Benedict Choi, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDR, IFS Informed
I am trained in EMDR and IFS and have worked with many clients suffering from PTSD, complex trauma, as well as phobias, panic attacks and anxiety. I believe that we all have parts that hold trauma, and burdens that need releasing. I also believe in acknowledging the parts that had to adapt to extremely painful and scary experiences, parts that had to learn to protect us by numbing, dissociating, raging (to name a few). These parts had to show up this way when trauma and distressing experiences occurred, to keep you safe. It is extremely important to extended gratitude towards these protectors first before approaching the ones that hold the pain.

Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
You may carry the effects of difficult or painful experiences even if you don’t always think of what happened as “trauma.” Maybe you’re easily on edge, have a hard time trusting people, shut down when things become overwhelming, or feel responsible for keeping everyone else okay. You might be very independent, struggle to ask for help, or notice that certain situations bring up reactions that feel bigger than what’s happening in the moment.
Trauma therapy doesn’t mean you have to tell me everything that happened or revisit painful experiences before you’re ready. We’ll pay attention to what’s affecting you now and work at a pace that allows us to stay curious about what comes up without pushing past what feels manageable. Over time, the goal is to help you understand your responses, feel more able to stay with yourself when difficult emotions come up, and have more choice in how you respond to yourself, other people, and what’s happening around you.

Lisa Paer
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
I provide trauma therapy that can help you heal from the wounds of the past and live a more fulfilling life. My service is based on a technique called EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR is a proven method that can help you process your traumatic memories and reduce their negative impact on your present and future. It can help you feel less distressed, more confident, and more in control of your emotions and reactions to triggers. Whether you've experienced a single event or a series of traumas, I can help you work through them. I'm a trauma-informed therapist who will create a safe and supportive space for you to work through your past, enhance your coping skills, and improve your quality of life.

Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
As someone who has experienced trauma, I know how hard it is to deal with ghosts from the past! I have specialized psychological expertise in trauma, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the complex dynamics of intergenerational trauma. I'm specifically trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based method for helping youth and their families process traumatic experiences. I understand that trauma is not just a memory, but a pervasive, ongoing disruption to the nervous system and one's core sense of self and safety. I utilize a range of trauma-informed approaches to help clients safely process past events, regulate emotional and physiological responses, and move out of patterns of chronic activation or emotional numbing. My goal is to support you in breaking the cycle of pain, reclaiming your narrative, and fostering post-traumatic growth to build a future defined by connection, presence, and genuine peace.
