Trauma and PTSD
Michelle Foster
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW
When working with clients experiencing trauma and PTSD, I primarily use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These approaches help clients process traumatic memories, challenge negative beliefs, and develop effective coping strategies. I also emphasize creating a safe and supportive environment to facilitate healing and resilience.

Live Laugh and Love Therapy| Jessica Munson
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D,CCATP, CAMAS-II, CCTP
I have been working with folks struggling with trauma and post traumatic stress disorder since the start of my career as a clinician. I have always felt humbled to be able to create a space with others to help walk beside them as they try to heal from some of the darker times in their lives. We work together to find a path that is trauma focused and tailored to each person's needs. I recently completed a certification as a Clinically Certified Trauma Professional that has only brought new resources, education, and techniques to help folks continue to grow and heal with me.

Childhood trauma is a series of experiences that are accumulated over time, and untangling them can feel overwhelming. It doesn’t have to involve physical abuse or be one big recognizable event; repeated instances of emotional neglect and not recieving appropriate support from your caregivers when going through a difficult time can be just as harmful. In fact, complex, developmental trauma (CPTSD) often has emotional neglect at its core. Neglect is what you should have had but didn’t get as a child; what didn’t happen that should have happened. Emotional neglect occurs when parents don’t respond to, acknowledge, or validate their child’s feelings often enough. Repeatedly not being listened to by your parents, being teased for expressing your emotions, or being told “if you don’t stop crying, I will give you something to cry about” all can take a toll. A child growing up in this environment, even if their parents "mean well" and provide for their physical needs, has no room for emotions. This child might have a hard time identifying, understanding and expressing their feelings. These difficulties can last into adulthood. Our childhood traumatic experiences continue to affect how we feel about ourselves when we become adults. Adults who experienced childhood emotional neglect often have life-long negative beliefs about themselves. They often feel lonely, empty, unimportant, different, and unfulfilled in life. This affects how we build relationships with other people, and how we handle conflict and stressful situations. Together, we will work to understand how your past experiences are impacting your current reality. We will chart a path forward, using EMDR, Somatic approaches and others, towards something healthier, more balanced and whole, so that you will feel more comfortable setting necessary boundaries with difficult people and living authentically. - - - “Healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about removing the barriers to what is already whole.” Faisal Ali Sarohi

Alexis Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC
I am engaged and alert with my clients. I support your growth while Frustrating your defenses- I work to confront my clients in their blind spots, because (as a New Yorker) I understand that speaking from a place of love may not always mean people-pleasing. But with the warmth of my California Licensure (c;) I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma isn’t just about what happened—it’s about how your nervous system responded. When trauma remains unresolved, it can show up as anxiety, shame, anger, numbness, flashbacks, sleep disturbance, relationship struggles, or chronic tension. Even long after the event is over, your body may still feel stuck in survival mode.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain process traumatic experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity. Rather than reliving the past, EMDR helps your system integrate it—so it stops disrupting your present.
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means loosening trauma’s grip so you can feel safer, more grounded, and more like yourself again.
When appropriate, we may integrate other approaches such as IFS or talk therapy—but EMDR is often the foundation of trauma treatment in my practice.
