There is a trauma to everyday life that we all experience and trauma from childhoods and even inherited trauma passed down through the generations. There are multiple approaches to trauma and our course will depend on the type of trauma you have experienced and what your needs are.

Anneka Gavrin
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect how people feel, think, and relate to others long after the events themselves have passed. Individuals may experience anxiety, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or patterns that feel hard to change. Anneka approaches trauma work with care and sensitivity, helping clients process difficult experiences at a pace that feels safe and supportive. Through this work, clients can begin to reconnect with themselves, develop greater emotional resilience, and move toward a deeper sense of stability and well-being.

Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Complex or relational trauma can leave lasting effects on how we experience emotions, relationships, trust, and ourselves. You may find yourself stuck in hypervigilance, emotional numbness, shame, people-pleasing, difficulty trusting, or repeating painful relational patterns that once served as protection. My approach is relational, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed, helping clients process difficult experiences while building greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and a stronger sense of safety. For clients interested in deeper therapeutic work, I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), thoughtfully integrated with preparation and ongoing psychotherapy.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
I have specialized training in trauma treatment, including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, which views trauma as something deeply rooted in the body and nervous system. In our work together, we focus on safety, pacing, and understanding the coping strategies your system has developed in response to overwhelming experiences.
Trauma can leave people feeling fragmented, disconnected, or stuck in patterns of dissociation or reactivity. Using somatic awareness and parts work, we learn to track these responses, build regulation tools, and develop a more compassionate and empowered relationship with your experience.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Struggles with coping with past trauma and PTSD stemming from those traumas can lead to problems with relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can explore how to address your trauma and how these struggles may impact your happiness and ability to get what you want. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.

Staten Island's suburban character and strong Italian-American and Eastern European heritage shape a therapy culture that has historically carried some skepticism about mental health treatment, even as demand has grown substantially. The borough was among the hardest hit in New York City by the opioid epidemic, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery, grief, and trauma from loss remain a central part of the community's mental health infrastructure. Staten Island University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while private practices are concentrated in Stapleton, Todt Hill, and the North Shore. Many residents also access therapy in New Jersey or Manhattan, reflecting the borough's geographic position at the outer edge of the city.
