Tin Huang
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
I have extensive experience supporting individuals healing from the profound and often lasting effects of trauma and PTSD. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, providing a safe and compassionate space to gently process difficult memories and their impact. Together, we'll work to understand your unique trauma responses, develop effective coping strategies, and integrate past experiences so you can reclaim your present. I also recognize the significant influence of cultural contexts on how trauma is experienced, understood, and healed. Through this informed and supportive process, I empower clients to regain a sense of safety, build resilience, and move towards a life of greater peace and well-being.

Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
If you’ve experienced trauma, it can leave a lasting impact—sometimes in ways that are hard to put into words. You might feel anxious, disconnected, or easily overwhelmed, even when things seem “fine” on the outside.
In therapy, we’ll create a safe and supportive space where you can begin to make sense of your experiences at your own pace. Together, we’ll focus on helping you feel more grounded, regain a sense of stability, and move toward healing in a way that feels manageable and respectful of your process.

I work with adults experiencing trauma and PTSD, helping clients process overwhelming experiences and understand how past events may affect their emotions, relationships, and daily functioning.

I integrate trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based approaches, as well as attachment-focused strategies, to support emotional regulation, nervous system stabilization, and self-compassion. Therapy emphasizes empowerment, safety, and gradual healing, helping clients reclaim a sense of control, stability, and connection with themselves and others.

Kerline Theodore
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I specialize in working with adults experiencing trauma and PTSD, including high-functioning, high-achieving individuals who may appear “put together” on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and integrate trauma-informed, attachment-focused approaches to help clients process overwhelming experiences and understand how past events impact emotions, relationships, and daily functioning.
In a safe and supportive space, we work to identify triggers, process difficult memories, and build emotional regulation and nervous system stability. My approach emphasizes self-compassion, resilience, and empowerment—helping you move out of survival mode.

Elizabeth Hammond
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Trauma—whether from a specific event, religious upbringing, or the systemic "small t" traumas of living in a marginalized body—lives in the nervous system. When we’ve experienced trauma, our bodies often stay in a state of high alert, making it difficult to feel safe or present. I use a polyvagal-informed approach to help you understand your body’s unique stress responses. Together, we work to move you out of "fight, flight, or freeze" and into a place of groundedness, where you can finally process the past without being held captive by it.
