PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Cheryl D La Rotta
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
I offer expert, evidence-based treatment for PTSD and Complex Trauma (C-PTSD). Specializing in the intersection of somatic healing and clinical insight, I utilize EMDR and Hypnotherapy to alleviate the debilitating effects of past harm. From childhood abuse and sexual violence to combat and sudden loss, my approach is designed to settle the overactive 'fight-or-flight' response. If you feel stuck in a loop of past pain, let’s work together to update your internal blueprint and restore your mental and emotional peace.

Cassandra Gustama
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Trauma can impact the way you think, feel, relate to others, and move through the world long after the experience has ended. I provide a safe, supportive environment to process difficult experiences, build coping skills, and work toward healing at a pace that feels right for you.

Jenn Zatopek
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, EMDR
I'm a trauma specialist, and I use EMDR and mindfulness to help you heal from past pain. EMDR helps to unlock the trauma from the nervous system, but I don't start out doing EMDR. I start out doing a lot of resourcing and grounding to help you feel safe inside your own skin. Then when you are ready to begin processing we can do so.

Trauma is our top focus. We know you are stuck with a 200 lb pole that you never consented to carry. We will work on chiseling tools out of that weight and lifting the load.

Do memories of past trauma impact your daily life? Regardless if it is one-time, multiple or repetitive events, trauma effects everyone differently and can have varying effects. I work with clients to process experiences, manage/minimize triggers to feel safer, stronger and more in control.

PTSD/Trauma
Amanda Kohl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, CTP
Trauma can stay with you long after the experience is over, showing up in your emotions, your body, and your relationships. You may feel reactive, on edge, or stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. I specialize in trauma therapy using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a body-based approach that helps process trauma without reliving every detail. As this work unfolds, many clients begin to feel calmer, more steady, and more like themselves again.

St. Petersburg has undergone rapid transformation as an arts and culture hub, attracting young creatives, LGBTQ+ residents, and a growing tech community, and therapists here frequently work with identity exploration, life transitions, and the pressures of building an unconventional career in a mid-size city. The city has a well-established LGBTQ+ community centered around the Grand Central District, and affirming therapists are well represented relative to the city's size. St. Anthony's Hospital and Bayfront Health St. Petersburg provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Many St. Pete therapists serve clients across the wider Tampa Bay area, making the region's therapeutic resources interconnected regardless of which side of the bay clients live on.
