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.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In assisting patients struggling with trauma and PTSD, I offer a compassionate and supportive environment to explore their experiences. Through therapy, we address the impact of trauma on their emotions, behaviors, and relationships. I provide education about trauma responses and coping mechanisms, helping them develop strategies to manage symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance. Together, we work towards processing and integrating their traumatic experiences, fostering healing, resilience, and a sense of empowerment. Ongoing support and therapy aim to facilitate their journey towards recovery and improved well-being.

Jessica Torres Kreidt
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, NCC, CCTP (CA: LPCC#17935)
With training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. This work is a true passion of mine, and I am committed to walking alongside my clients on their journey toward healing. I use evidence-based therapies and grounding techniques to help clients manage distressing symptoms, stay connected to the present moment, and build resilience.
My work in trauma began at the YWCA Hope Center, a local rape crisis and domestic violence center, where I provided legal advocacy to individuals in some of the most challenging circumstances. I later gained valuable experience in case management, supporting individuals facing homelessness and significant life barriers. These experiences have profoundly shaped my compassionate and client-centered approach.
I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients can reclaim their sense of safety, strength, and well-being as they work toward healing and growth.

Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Hypnotherapy for trauma can be an incredible tool for healing. Whether you're grappling with the long term effects of childhood or developmental trauma, or trying to find relief after a more recent event, hypnosis offers a proven path for freedom and relief. A life with fewer triggers and more ease is possible. One of my clients recently shared with me:
"Just a couple years ago, there were so many moments with my trauma responses where I felt like “This is never going to change.” And it has completely changed. My nervous system is completely different."
It may not have been a magic bullet that fixed her in one session, but over time, as we worked on the triggers, the reactions, and the patterns locked away in the body and mind, it became more and more possible to change behaviors, feelings, thoughts, and so much more. Not only that, but we managed to have fun along the way- embracing hope, strength, joy, and laughter - all while healing trauma. This is my goal for every client I work with - to feel more free, more themselves, more able to live the life they really choose.
