Dr. Le’ Isaac Gardner Msc.D. CTHT ORDM
Hypnotherapist, Doctorate in Metaphysical Science, MSc.D. Clinical and Transpersonal Hypnotherapist CTHT
Trauma and PTSD are life changing events. One at the very initial moment and the other at a later time or memory jog that causes an impression of the initial event to be felt. Sometimes to an even more severe degree. Let me help you not to forget but to clear the past negative emotions and false beliefs so that they never haunt your current life again, leaving you in happiness and health.

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.

Dr. John E. N. Daniel
Marriage and Family Therapist, EdD; EdS; MA; MA; LCMFT#0404011018; BCCLC#0131
Several factors have been identified as important in understanding recovery and adjustment among traumatized patients (Green, Korol, & Grace, 1991; Chamberlain, 2008; Pine & Cohen, 2002). These include event parameters, individual child risk and protective factors as well as environmental variables. I employ Family Systems Therapy initially to both the level of exposure to the event and to isolate the level of client psychopathology.

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.

Tampa is a rapidly growing city with a significant military presence at MacDill AFB, creating sustained demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, deployment-related adjustment, and the challenges of veteran and military family life. The city's growth has brought a large influx of transplants from the Northeast and Midwest, and therapists frequently address the adjustment, social isolation, and identity shifts common among people rebuilding their lives in a new city. Tampa General Hospital and AdventHealth serve as major institutional mental health anchors, with a growing private practice community concentrated in South Tampa, Hyde Park, and the New Tampa corridor. Many Tampa therapists now offer telehealth, making it easier to serve clients spread across Hillsborough and Pinellas counties.
