Valencia, California therapist: TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA, licensed psychoanalyst
Trauma and PTSD

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA

Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
PTSD requires lots of patience as the individual in treatment learns to interact with the world again. Traumatic experiences shut down everything in the person's mind/body, and in their social interactions, and create a lot of isolation. To counter all this, I recommend a unique program for each patient that includes talking at least twice a week, micro-stimulation to develop new pathways in the brain, supplements to heal the brain, music therapy (see Steven Halpern), sleep therapy, and the creation of "flow experiences" to strengthen the person's sense of self. Trauma is not easy to turn around, But, over a consistent period of time, expressing one's emotions and following a set routine (including the above), will always lead to healing.

Pasadena, California therapist: Chris Tickner, marriage and family therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Chris Tickner

Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Trauma is what happens when we experience something that is overwhelming or life-threatening. Sexual or physical abuse, neglect, accidents, natural disasters, crime, loss of loved ones... All of these things can leave a mark. Our brain responds to trauma the way it has for thousands and thousands of years. And while that helped us survive in more primitive times, today it can leave us unable to function, riddled with fear and anxiety, avoiding the very things that used to bring us pleasure. At its worse, trauma becomes Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. The good news is that the field of psychology, through the use of brain imaging, has developed powerful treatment approaches to the resolution of trauma and PTSD. The field of Somatic Psychology has been a hotbed for the development of effective treatments including EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, and Sensori-Motor Psychotherapy. With 25 years of experience, training in many of these approaches, and both an MA and Ph.D. in Somatic Psychology, I am eager to help you recover from the devastating impact of trauma.

Pasadena, California therapist: Christian Holmes, marriage and family therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Christian Holmes

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma can feel so overwhelming. It has a way of infecting every area of one's life. In my work with those who experience trauma I take a collaborative approach where we assess and address the trauma from all angles. We use talk therapy to process what has gone unaddressed and discover together the meaning made and the effect it had on you in your relationship with yourself and others. I also use evidence-based practices like EMDR and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral) Therapy which allows us to address cognitive distortions and negative beliefs you hold about yourself so that you can overcome the pain and suffering and experience more joy and freedom.

Trauma has a specific and undeniable impact on our brain and nervous system. This impact ripples into the way we feel about ourselves, our relationships and the world. Learning strategies to mitigate and re-wire the impact of trauma can empower us to feel greater safety, ease, confidence and connection.

Pasadena, California therapist: Tim Eby-McKenzie, marriage and family therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Tim Eby-McKenzie

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Most of my clinical career has focused on finding more efficient and effective ways to address, understand and heal the impact of trauma in people's lives. Acute Stress Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are two ways trauma manifests in people's lives when trauma gets "stuck" in the nervous system, and cannot resolve effectively and adaptively. I use EMDR to assist clients to overcome this "stuckness" and to move forward into healthier lives.

Calabasas, California therapist: Tanya Samuelian, marriage and family therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Tanya Samuelian

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Therapy can offer tremendous benefits to individuals who have experienced trauma or are grappling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Traumatic experiences can manifest in various ways and significantly impact our daily lives. Through therapy, we can collaboratively process and heal from these experiences, creating a safe and nurturing environment to explore and comprehend their effects on our mental well-being. If you or a loved one are exhibiting symptoms of trauma or PTSD, I extend an invitation to reach out and schedule an appointment with me. Taking that first step towards healing may be daunting, but it can also be incredibly empowering. Let's embark on this journey of growth and recovery together.

Bernadet Yaghobian, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Inc.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help clients process and heal from trauma, addressing the emotional and physical impacts of PTSD to restore a sense of safety and control. I utilize brainspotting to facilitate deeper therapeutic processing, allowing clients to access and resolve traumatic memories that may be stored in the body. By helping individuals identify where they hold trauma physically, I guide them in understanding the connection between their emotional experiences and bodily sensations, fostering a holistic approach to healing.
