Trauma and PTSD
Shana Burns, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist
Both early and later life traumas come in countless forms. We are each impacted to varying degrees by misattunement in childhood. The effects show up in our relational patterns and at times poor coping. Significant trauma or past pain can cause us to feel a lack of safety in our own bodies and in the world. We seek to offer a reparative experience and environment of reliability, compassion and holding, transforming your trauma into resilience and forgiveness.

Trauma and PTSD
TyaCamellia (Tya) Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
It’s exhausting to live constantly in a state of protecting yourself, rather than embracing yourself.
It steals your ability to focus. It cheats you out of joy and ease. It invades your ability to have fun and connection with others. You’re white-knuckling your way through every day, but try to hide it behind a smile.
I Will Help You:
Communicate difficult memories, thoughts, and emotions in a cathartic way.
Navigate through triggers and flashbacks.
Process past traumas that still live in your body and mind.
Create a positive, empowered, and well-rounded sense of self.
Develop healthy coping skills and self-soothing techniques.
Renovate your view of yourself, the world, and other people.
Create and maintain boundaries that encourage healthy relationships.
You've survived -- now it's time to thrive!

Trauma and PTSD
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You already have displayed such a beautiful expression of courage by seeking out support. In the beginning of therapy, we’ll build on this courage by identifying what is working for you in life right now, bringing in new resources to expand the sense of safety to live and connect. Then slowly taking little tastes of deeper, painful work, we’ll move back and forth, allowing your full being to embrace this new way of living without the added weight of judgment or pressure to live any one way. We’ll consider the stories and thoughts, the emotions, the images and picture memories, as well as, the groans, pains, and numbness of your body that are charged by fight-flight-freeze-faint energy. We’ll honor all parts of you as we work together to engage all the rules of safety and connection that you’ve learned through past experiences. We’ll consider what is and is not working well for you now, and, we’ll identify new purposes for these parts of you that honor your living and connecting now.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
In treating PTSD, I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a proven, structured approach that helps individuals reframe and process their traumatic experiences. Through this evidence-based treatment, we work together to challenge unhelpful beliefs about safety, power, trust, esteem and intimacy, and process the emotions tied to the trauma. By focusing on these areas, CPT helps reduce symptoms of PTSD and empowers clients to regain control over their lives, improving emotional resilience and overall well-being.
