PTSD/Trauma
Luciana C. Silva
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Family systems theory conceptualizes anxiety as a mental, emotional, and physiological reaction to perceived threat. Sometimes the threat is real, as in cases of trauma. At other times, our perception does not match the facts of the situation. If we conceptualize traumatic stress as an automatic reaction to environmental stimuli that resembles past traumatic events survived in part due to these reactions, we can start to see that healing from traumatic stress might involve coming to understand our automatic reactions to anxiety, how the sources of anxiety in our lives and the systems we operate in activate these automatic reactions, how the way we react to anxiety is part of how we function in a system, how our functioning is both influenced by the system and influential of it, and what a more thoughtful, less automatic way of responding to anxiety may be. I aim to partner with people who want to explore these questions to better activate the thinking process to temper the automatic (or emotional) process.

Trauma & PTSD: From Survival to Sovereignty
Rewiring the Alarm and Reclaiming the Present
Trauma is not just what happened to you; it is the "residue" left behind in your nervous system. It is a state where your body remains stuck in a past moment of danger, leading to a life of hyper-vigilance, emotional overwhelm, and systemic burnout. In my practice, we approach trauma with radical compassion and clinical precision, working to help your brain finally move "the then" out of "the now."
The Landscape of Traumatic Stress
Trauma often lives in the "wordless" parts of the brain, manifesting in ways that logic alone cannot reach. We work together to address:
The High-Alert System: Navigating the constant state of "fight or flight" that leads to irritability, insomnia, and an inability to relax.
The Shut Down & Dissociation: Addressing the "numbing out" or the feeling of being disconnected from your body—a protective freeze response used to survive the unbearable.
Attachment Trauma: Exploring how early "systemic" wounds in the family or spiritual community have shaped your ability to feel safe in relationships today.
A Specialized Path to Resolution
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate deep-reaching, somatic-based modalities to move beyond "talk therapy" into true neurological healing:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): As an EMDRIA-trained clinician, I use this gold-standard treatment to help your brain process traumatic memories so they no longer trigger the same intense physical and emotional distress.
IFS-Informed "Parts" Work: We get curious about the parts of you that are "stuck" in the trauma—the protectors, the exiles, and the managers—helping them find a new role in a safe present.
Systems Theory & Social Inequity: We acknowledge how external forces—power imbalances, systemic inequity, and spiritual trauma—contribute to and sustain a sense of "un-safety."
Sanctuary for the Healer
I have a "special love" for working with therapists and pastors who are carrying their own "unprocessed" trauma while holding the trauma of their communities. You deserve a peer-level space where you can finally put down the armor of the "helper" and address your own wounds with a clinician who understands the weight of your role.

Becca Edwards
Therapist, LMSW, Ed.S., M.ed
Trauma can affect far more than our memories—it can shape our bodies, relationships, emotions, beliefs, and sense of safety. I help clients process traumatic experiences at their own pace while developing greater regulation, self-understanding, and a sense of safety. I draw from trauma-informed approaches including EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapies.

Lauren Whitlow
Psychologist, PsyD
Experiencing trauma can affect the way you think, feel, relate to others, and move through the world long after the event has passed. Whether your experiences stem from childhood, relationships, a single traumatic event, or ongoing stress, healing is possible. I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that emphasizes safety, trust, and collaboration.
