Dr. Mona E Stribling
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Most of us will experience trauma at some point in our lives, whether from an accident, a disaster, an assault, abuse, war, or the loss or death of a loved one.
While many people recover from trauma over time with the support of family and friends, many others have lasting effects and feel deep emotional pain, fear, and confusion long after the event happened.
Post-traumatic stress can be extremely debilitating, as you continue to relive the experience. It can also leave you feeling very isolated, as very well-meaning people don’t understand what you have been and continue to go through. But it is important that you know you are definitely not alone and that there is help.
A number of evidence-supported therapies have shown to significantly improve post-traumatic stress and the quality of life. Beyond healing, many people find a strength and sense of meaning and purpose that they may otherwise not have discovered. I have specialized training and extensive experience in treating trauma/PTSD, and I’m confident that together we will help you heal, and with hard work even grow and thrive beyond your trauma.

Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma can haunt you for years and dictate how you should live your life. I focus on the impact of trauma which can result in PTSD, C-PTSD anxiety, depression, relationship problems, insecurity, and overthinking. I approach therapy from a trauma- informed lens with a light-hearted, genuine, and non-judgmental attitude. I provide a safe space for you to share that thing/event/story that is hard to talk about.

Trauma comes in many different forms. Similar to physical therapy, psychotherapy can allow one to practice exercises and skills that accelerate the healing process and help you regain your confidence.

Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma is like a infected wound that sometimes the surface layer has healed, but the damage is still continuing within. An unhealed wound can often be reopened by different triggers, and the symptoms and patterns repeat again. As your therapist, my role is guide and help you affectively "clean" and "treat" the wound, so that it can stop the damage and heal properly.

Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma can change the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. Whether you've experienced a single traumatic event or ongoing trauma over time, the effects can continue long after the experience has ended. You may find yourself living in survival mode—feeling constantly on edge, overwhelmed by intrusive memories, nightmares, anxiety, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or avoiding situations that remind you of what happened. These are common responses to trauma, and healing is possible.
At Holding Space Therapy, we specialize in trauma-informed care and provide evidence-based treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, childhood trauma, first responder trauma, and other trauma-related concerns. We understand that every person's experience is unique, and therapy is tailored to your individual history, needs, and goals. Our priority is to create a safe, supportive environment where healing can occur at a pace that feels manageable and empowering. Treatment may include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, grounding techniques, and nervous system regulation. Together, we'll work to process traumatic memories, reduce emotional distress, challenge trauma-related beliefs, strengthen coping skills, and help your mind and body move out of survival mode. The goal is not to erase your experiences but to lessen their impact so they no longer control your daily life.
We have extensive experience working with adults who have experienced childhood abuse, sexual abuse, relationship trauma, medical trauma, workplace trauma, and cumulative stress, including first responders, healthcare professionals, and others in high-stress occupations who are regularly exposed to traumatic events. We also recognize how trauma can affect relationships, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and your sense of safety, and we address these areas as part of the healing process. Recovery from trauma is possible. You are more than what has happened to you, and you don't have to carry the weight of your experiences alone. With compassionate support and evidence-based treatment, you can build resilience, reconnect with your strengths, restore a sense of safety, and create a life guided by hope rather than fear.

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PA-C
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.

Cassandra Gustama
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC

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.
