Trauma and PTSD
Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Trauma and PTSD are so incredibly common and underrecognized. People often go decades in their lives with undiagnosed PTSD and trauma without even realizing it. It is important to unveil the traumatic experiences we have gone through in our lives. Some people can experience trauma and not develop PTSD. However, there are many people who experience trauma and don't recognize they have. I am here to work with you through that. I can provide you a safe place to explore the traumatic experiences that are causing you pain, and we can begin to get your life back in order, one piece at a time.

Trauma and PTSD
Tracy Sachs
Therapist, MA, AMFT
I work with trauma from body and soul perspectives. By drawing upon somatic modalities, we will explore how your nervous system responded to traumatic events and work towards reintegrating the experience from a more regulated and spacious place. From a soul perspective, trauma can be understood as not having the love, support, and sense of being witnessed when a traumatic experience occurred. Together we will tend to your body and soul so that you are no longer at the mercy of trauma.

Trauma and PTSD
Babak Max Karimbeik
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Research has shown that exposure to traumatic events early in life can have many negative effects throughout childhood and adolescence and into adulthood. Children who suffer from child traumatic stress are those who have been exposed to one or more traumas over the course of their lives and develop reactions that persist and affect their daily lives after the traumatic events have ended. Traumatic events can include witnessing or experiencing physical or sexual abuse, violence in families and communities, loss of a loved one, refugee and war experiences, living with a family member whose caregiving ability is impaired, and having a life-threatening injury or illness. If you haven't had any traumatic events until recently eliminating your trauma/PTSD symptoms is a much easier process. When you experience trauma you're more likely to think from the survival part of your brain. When traumatized individuals are in their Survival Brains, you can expect “thin skin” and lots of volcanic activity! This means that a child’s sensitivity to “fight, flight, freeze” is over-developed, while the ability to self-regulate these functions is under-developed.
