David Essel, M.S., O.M.
Counselor/Therapist, Master's Degree Psychology, Ordained All Faiths Minister
When most people think of PTSD, they think of veterans returning from war. Which is very true.
Others might think of someone who had a near-drowning experience. And that will create PTSD as well.
But there are other events in life that can create ongoing PTSD, that we may not even recognize. Childhood trauma. Losing a pet. Or a job. or a relationship. Divorce trauma. Addiction trauma. Car accident trauma. The list is endless.
For the past 30 years, number one best-selling author, counselor, master Life Coach and minister David Essel has been helping people to understand the power of trauma, PTSD, and the stress of trying to live with either.

Trauma and PTSD are very prevalent and unrecognized. Both can shape your worldview and perspective. I seek to help individuals make sense of their trauma without self blame.

Tam Nguyen-Louie
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As an Asian clinical psychologist, I specialize in treating PTSD, with a deep focus on the intricate layers of sexual and relational trauma. I help clients process the debilitating impacts of trauma, including intrusive flashbacks, hypervigilance, and the deep-seated emotional numbing that often disrupts daily life. Understanding how cultural dynamics can compound these symptoms, I provide a tailored, culturally responsive space to safely confront these painful memories. Together, we work to untangle complex trauma responses, reclaim emotional regulation, and guide the mind and body back to a place of lasting safety.

The effects of trauma can be isolating and deeply disorienting, often manifesting as anxiety, disconnection, or overwhelming emotional surges. My practice offers a gentle, client-centered approach to healing from trauma and PTSD. We will focus on establishing a profound sense of inner and outer safety, gradually exploring and integrating your experiences. This process cultivates self-compassion, strengthens your capacity for emotional regulation, and empowers you to restore your sense of wholeness, allowing you to live with greater freedom, connection, and well-being.
