Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Sven Schild
Psychologist, PhD, SEP, TCC
My approach to working with trauma and PTSD involves integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). ACT helps clients accept their traumatic experiences and related emotions without judgment, fostering psychological flexibility and resilience. EMDR is used to process and resolve traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact and allowing clients to reframe their experiences in a healthier way. SE addresses the physiological effects of trauma, helping clients release stored tension and restore a sense of balance and safety in their bodies. This holistic approach supports clients in healing from trauma, reducing PTSD symptoms, and enhancing their overall well-being.

Ross Kellogg, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Single event trauma and long-term developmental trauma in childhood can each be overwhelming experiences that bring about an overwhelming set of symptoms that often end in a lot of isolation for the traumatized person. Therapy can help you re-engage with people and life again. A multi modality approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy couples with Object Relations Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy can often be an effective method for managing symptoms, getting back to feeling good, and accepting the full impact and meaning of the traumatic event(s).

Jessica Torres
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, NCC, CCTP (CA: LPCC#17935)
With training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. This work is a true passion of mine, and I am committed to walking alongside my clients on their journey toward healing. I use evidence-based therapies and grounding techniques to help clients manage distressing symptoms, stay connected to the present moment, and build resilience.
My work in trauma began at the YWCA Hope Center, a local rape crisis and domestic violence center, where I provided legal advocacy to individuals in some of the most challenging circumstances. I later gained valuable experience in case management, supporting individuals facing homelessness and significant life barriers. These experiences have profoundly shaped my compassionate and client-centered approach.
I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients can reclaim their sense of safety, strength, and well-being as they work toward healing and growth.

Trauma and PTSD
Christin Frederick
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
You might be feeling the effects of interpersonal trauma, which occurs when we are deeply hurt by someone else's actions. This type of trauma can stem from experiences such as child abuse and neglect, witnessing domestic violence, living in high-conflict environments, intimate partner violence, or bullying.
While we all encounter pain caused by others at some point, it doesn't always lead to lasting negative effects. However, if our ability to escape, fight back, or cope with these painful experiences is limited, the impact can be long-lasting. Often, the effects of these traumatic events remain hidden until we struggle to maintain healthy relationships.
If you are feeling frustrated and unsuccessful in your relationships, whether it's with friends, in your marriage, or in your role as a parent, we are here to help. We can guide you through the confusion and help you build thriving, successful relationships.
We treat trauma-related symptoms using an integrative approach that may include resetting the social engagement system through mindfulness, somatic processing, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

Treatment for PTSD often involves trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), where individuals process traumatic memories and develop healthier coping strategies. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is another effective approach, helping patients reprocess traumatic events and reduce emotional distress.
