I have long specialized in helping adults who have lived through traumatic experiences, while also coping with a second diagnosable mental health condition such as Anxiety disorders (OCD, GAD, Agoraphobia, Panic disorder, etc), Depression, Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective disorder, Personality Disorders and neurodiversity. When two or more conditions co-occur it may take some time, even up to a year, before a full and valid diagnostic picture is painted. This is especially true for trauma, complex trauma and neurodiversity.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Making sense of trauma, and the impact of trauma, can be accompanied by the fear that you will never be able to overcome the distress you feel when you remember the experience or when those intrusive nightmares, flashbacks, and negative thoughts come crashing into your awareness. Through trauma-focused therapy we reclaim confidence, hopefulness, intimacy, safety, self-esteem, and trust. I have specific expertise in treating trauma symptoms related to sexual assault, intimate partner violence and emotional abuse, military sexual trauma (MST), childhood and complex sexual trauma, violence, and combat trauma experienced by Veterans. These experiences can impact physical health, and daily life.
Many people will experience a form of trauma in their lives. Trauma can come with feelings of shame, anger, and confusion. Posttraumatic stress is a normal human reaction to traumatic events. However, for some individuals this stress persists and interferes with their ability to live the life that they want. I work with complex cases that sometimes include dissociation, numbness, anger, risky behaviors, and years of avoidance. The treatments I provide are the most powerful and effective treatments available for these conditions. I have expertise in individual, as well as relationship (i.e., with a partner) based trauma-focused therapies. I have experienced many times how these treatments help people gain new perspectives about what happened to them, develop a sense of empowerment over their trauma, and improve their lives. These treatments can also be helpful if you feel stuck following experiences of trauma, even if you don’t have PTSD. If you’re unsure whether you want to discuss your trauma, or unsure which approach feels like a good fit for you, we can discuss your concerns. We will explore trauma-focused care that builds upon your current support, coping skills, and personal experience. I primarily employ time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) such as CPT, PE, and CBCT. (See Individual and Couples Therapy based Trauma-Focused Services.)
In psychological literature, stressors are defined as events and conditions (e.g., losing a job, death of an intimate partner) that cause change and require that the individual adapt to the new situation or life circumstance. Stress processes can include the experience of prejudice events, expectations of rejection, hiding and concealing your authentic self, internalized homophobia, intimate partner violence, discrimination, and ameliorative coping processes that have become bad, ineffective habits. These experiences can be particularly painful when there is social pressure to conceal your experiences, or stigma. I address what it’s like to have no one to talk to about these experiences, and any distress that comes from having nowhere to do this work safely. I practice LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy that considers the impact of minority stress and chronic stress responses. Aside from these stress processes, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and heterosexuals who report any same-sex sexual partners over their lifetime, have greater risk of childhood maltreatment, interpersonal violence, trauma to a close friend or relative, and unexpected death of someone close.

Priya Patel
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
We live in a fast-paced environment under pressure to succeed and keep up. As we enter each transition, we embody different roles from parenthood, sibling, caretaker, employee and the list goes on. Life quickly becomes busy with many stressors, challenges and endless to-do lists. We quickly become our own self-critic.
I bring an empathetic and safe environment where together, you and I create the real meaning behind your symptoms and begin to create a road map to achieve the healing you are striving for. You will learn many tools, among learning how to practice self-compassion, especially during these times! We will work together to reframe thinking and reactions and explore tools to better cope with life’s challenges. I specialize in helping dealing with:
Life transitions
Anxiety
Depression
Childhood PTSD
Relationship issues
Feeling lost
Grief + Loss

Trauma and PTSD
Stephanie Marks
Hypnotherapist, MA
Being alive stimulates all kinds of traumas ranging from some more painful experiences that have become paralyzing and limiting, to common everyday traumas that stimulate discomfort and have lead us to retreat within some kind of defense, containing the trauma. Being alive means that we inevitably suffer and experience trauma in one way or another. We must learn to overcome our traumas in healthy ways. In our work together, I offer a safe, compassionate and supportive space where my patients can talk freely about all thoughts and feelings where we can then move towards healing our pain and hurtful, traumatic experiences and transform them into strength and resilience, moving towards a greater understanding of what role these traumas have played.

Len Ramsay
Registered Psychotherapist, Gestalt Therapist , M.B.A.
Trauma comes in many varieties. In classical PTSD we focus on Abuse, and even then, on severe and dramatic episodes of abuse. A more nuanced and sophisticated approach looks also at "small t" trauma with the same level of respect and seriousness. Neglect is a part of this. Abandonment The history of failed treatments for Trauma is epic. I believe that Shame and Trauma are at the core of psychological distress.
