Trauma occurs when someone experiences one or more events that threaten their physical, mental and/or emotional well-being. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that is a direct consequence of experiencing trauma and can include flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, avoidance of reminders of the trauma and mood disturbances. PTSD can be treated in a variety of ways including medication, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Exposure Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), and mindfulness practices.

Part of the healing process is being listened to and understood. I help you see more clearly what has been happening and what that may mean for you, providing a safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored and understood. Together, we work to help you move from wherever you're stuck.

Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
I've found that the range of traumas that people experience disrupts our experience of day-to-day life and relationships in so many ways. So many people who've experienced patterns of traumatizing, persistently invalidating, or minimizing experiences have found coping strategies to manage the profound impacts of trauma but eventually find that those strategies no longer work. Together, we will look at the impact of traumas and using a range of practices, which potentially include EMDR and internal parts work, we will work to supportively rebuild a sense of self-guided trust in the world.
