PTSD/Trauma
Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have 10 years of experience working with individuals and families impacted by trauma, including complex trauma, relational trauma, and PTSD. Trauma can take many forms and often affects not only how we think and feel, but also how we relate to others, how safe we feel in the world, and how we see ourselves.
In my work, I support clients in making sense of their experiences at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Trauma can leave people feeling stuck in patterns of hypervigilance, anxiety, emotional numbness, shame, or difficulty trusting others. For many, these responses are not just psychological, but also deeply connected to the body and nervous system.
I approach trauma work with care, stability, and a strong focus on creating a sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship. Together, we work to gently process painful experiences while also building tools for grounding, regulation, and emotional stability in the present moment. I integrate both insight-oriented work and practical coping strategies to help clients understand how their past continues to impact them today, while also supporting change and healing.
My goal is to help clients feel less alone in their experiences, reconnect with a sense of internal safety, and gradually move out of survival-based patterns and into a life that feels more grounded, present, and whole.

Deborah Ejiofor
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Treating trauma in therapy focuses on helping individuals process and heal from past traumatic experiences. Therapeutic approaches are commonly used to help clients confront and reframe painful memories in a safe, supportive environment. Therapy also teaches coping strategies for managing triggers, reducing anxiety, and building emotional resilience. The goal is to help individuals regain a sense of control, rebuild self-worth, and work through the emotional and psychological effects of trauma at their own pace. With time and support, therapy helps individuals heal, find closure, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life.

Lionel Latouche - Kairos Psychotherapy & Wellness
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma has a profound way of impacting how we see, think, and navigate the world around us. It is also incredibly sensitive because, often, we are re-traumatized by things, people, or events we may encounter. In therapy, we analyze those triggers and the defense mechanisms we developed to cope with them. We gain a better understanding of our unspoken needs regarding the trauma, as well as its visible and invisible impacts on our bodies. As we process the trauma that exists in our bodies, we concurrently work to reframe the events in healthy, meaningful ways, developing coping skills to better manage our bodies and emotions should we encounter a future trigger.

Newark is one of the most economically and culturally complex cities in the northeastern United States — a majority Black and Latino city with deep roots in jazz, civil rights history, and a long experience of disinvestment — and its therapy community frequently addresses the intersection of systemic inequity, racial trauma, and the psychological effects of urban poverty. The city has a significant Portuguese and Brazilian community alongside long-established African American and Puerto Rican populations, and multilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve critical access roles in a city where language and cultural barriers remain significant. Rutgers New Jersey Medical School provides institutional training and resources, while University Hospital Newark anchors the city's clinical mental health infrastructure. Newark's proximity to New York City means some residents also access therapy across the Hudson, while a growing independent therapy community has developed within the city itself.
