I understand that experiencing trauma can have a profound impact on one's life. As a therapist, I have received extensive training in various Trauma-Focused and Trauma-informed modalities such as EMDR, DBT, and TF-CBT. My utmost priority is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for you to share your experience and help you heal from your pain.

Philadelphia Art Therapy Associates
Art Therapist, MA, ATR-BC, LPC
Our therapists have extensive experience treating individuals who experienced various forms of trauma. Our work is trauma informed, and the first and most important job is creating physical and emotional safety. We are sensitive to the multilayered traumas experienced by clients with complex social and economic stressors. Because our therapists began their careers working in child welfare agencies and community mental health, we are comfortable working with complicated and intense situations, and can help you move through yours. Art making is a wonderful way to create safety, learn to self-soothe, re-work trauma, safely do exposures through re-telling, and heal.

Dr. Sophia Aguirre
Psychologist, Ph.D., CGP, F-AGPA
My approach to working with Trauma and PTSD is holistic, integrative and collaborative. My goals for trauma/PTSD work are trifold: 1) helping you heal from difficult traumatic memories that are keeping you stuck in the past so that you can focus on what is truly important in the present 2) helping you gain insight and awareness into how your past trauma(s) are impacting the relationships in your life (relationships with others and with your own self) and 3) helping you move away from fear/avoidance-based behaviors and choices and instead, make choices in your life that are aligned with your goals and values. I am here for you when you are ready to begin your healing journey.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
A trauma-informed approach underlies all of my work as a therapist. I know that many clients come to therapy not specifically because of trauma, but because they feel lonely or inadequate, they are depressed or anxious, or just cannot seem to have the intimacy they crave. Sometimes acknowledging trauma comes later in the therapy work and that is okay. Just know that I trust that you will talk about it when you are ready.
I would like to join you in acknowledging how the past has affected your present and in charting a course to healing that works for you. You may wish to talk about particular pains from the past and you may wish to focus on the future. We will work together to find the balance that is right for you, so that you can live the life that you really want to live.
