Laura Katz
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Because the profound effects of trauma, complex trauma and PTSD can impact our sense of trust and ability to feel safe in our own bodies, collaboration is key. We will work together toward gaining awareness around safety, building resilience, and understanding your physiological responses to trauma. One of the modalities I use is Brainspotting, a brain-body based therapy that uses the visual field to process trauma.

Raquel Molina
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am an EMDR trauma therapist with over 11 years experience working with clients with PTSD symptoms. I am knowledgable in different treatment methods to approach and work with clients who have experienced either complex childhood trauma or a person who has had a recent traumatic event, such as a car accident, abuse or assault. I utilize different approaches depending on the client's needs, level of distress and ability to regulate emotions. I am a believer in mind-body therapy techniques to promote healing and emotions regulation.

Adrienne Clements
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
After surviving a deeply distressing or even life-threatening experience, are you struggling with worry, sadness and fear? Are intrusive flashbacks and disturbing nightmares making it difficult to truly believe that the danger has passed? Although you may go through the motions and get through each day, perhaps you avoid certain places, people or experiences that might trigger overwhelming memories. It may be you are hyper vigilant, always anticipating danger around every corner. As you attempt to protect yourself physically and emotionally, you may feel unable to trust anyone or anything, even yourself. Do you lack a sense of security and stability in every aspect of your world? Do you wish you could find relief from the ongoing worry and dread, engage in the present and claim agency over your life?
No matter how long ago or how recent, a traumatic experience can shake your sense of self and make life seem unpredictable, dangerous and out of control. You may frequently feel helpless, guilty and unable to navigate the world the way you’d like. It may feel as though you are stuck in a loop, falling victim to unbidden and disturbing memories, images, thoughts and physical sensations that force you to relive the past. Although the lingering effects of trauma can make you feel broken, if you are here reading this page, you have already done the hard work of surviving. In truth, you are not broken, and with help and support, you can do more than just survive. I offer a secure, accepting, nonjudgmental space for you to address the aftereffects of trauma, return to your body and claim your life.

Dr. Angel Enrique Pacheco, Ph.D., C.Psych.
Psychologist, Registered Clinical Psychologist
PTSD means that when faced with certain environmental stimuli similar to those present when you were traumatized, you develop the same or similar-level of physiological and emotional responses to the present circumstances even in the absence of additional trauma. This requires specialized training in the assessment and treatment of the condition for you to feel better.

I see trauma in a broad sense- any experience that was too overwhelming to process in the moment and is stored in the body/mind. Gently, we can integrate and find freedom from these experiences.

Tanya Desloover
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CADCII
My background of 20 years spent as therapist and Clinical Director of a southern CA program, and in private practice, treating clients with substance use disorders, led me to become Certified in EMDR Therapy, a primary treatment for trauma. Trauma treatment not only addresses physical and sexual abuse, but underlying shame experiences that lead to irrational negative thoughts about one's self, and replace them with rational positive thoughts that are your real truth. It takes courage to face your fears, and I offer a nonjudgmental, secure holding place to heal. We will work together to support you becoming empowered to courageously face your challenges and become your authentic self!

Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
As an EMDR certified therapist, I help people recover from traumatic experiences. Even though our mind knows the trauma happened in the past, our bodies can relive these experiences in the present. EMDR allows the mind and body to heal and reconnect as you process traumatic experiences and move toward a place of wholeness and restoration.

Trauma and PTSD
Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma, and the potential diagnosis of PTSD, can stem from a variety of experiences. Sometimes it is acute trauma, a singular event, forever burned within our being, that follows us in everything we do. Sometimes it is complex or chronic trauma, a series of events or exposures that eventually broke down our ability to remain intact of body, mind or spirit. Trauma can be healed. The parts of ourselves that were harmed can be welcomed back within the larger self, forgiven. The scars will always be there, there is no time machine that can change what has happened. Yet with integration, we can rebuild our inner world to something whole, and alive.
