Trauma and PTSD
Galina Zlotnikova
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #83992
In my work, I take a holistic approach to healing trauma, integrating the body, mind, and internal parts of the self. My first priority is to create a safe and stable foundation, equipping clients with the tools they need to self-regulate and build resilience before addressing deeper trauma. By focusing on the body, I help clients reconnect with sensations and impulses that may have become disconnected or frozen as a result of past experiences, supporting both emotional and physiological healing. I also draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients recognize and engage with different parts of themselves—such as wounded child or protective parts—that may be holding traumatic memories, fostering self-compassion and promoting integration and healing.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Kelly Smith
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Sometimes life is rough, sometimes you are the one who saw it, experienced it, or went through it. Most of these experiences we can think about, understand, and move on. But sometimes....there is that one ...(or more) which we can't just put down. It creeps into our dreams, it pushes into our heads when we drive by that spot, or look at that person who reminds us... It starts to take over our peace and impact our work, school, or relationships. When you have been through something hard that you cannot just let go and when you go home and others don't get it. It is time to reach out to someone who can help. It is possible to get this experience unstuck from your head, it is possible to turn things around. You can do things that you want to do rather than accepting that you are going to be damaged and struggle with certain things. You can let go of the anger, sleeplessness, and hypervigilance and connect with your family again and be happy. I offer four types of research-based therapies for trauma and PTSD: Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma Focused: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF: CBT)

Trauma and PTSD
Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Acknowledging an event as traumatic is scary, and it can be easy to minimize our past experiences particularly when we feel "fine". Yet one may experience a variety of mental health symptoms and/or patterns which may feel uncomfortable or interfere with various life areas. These patterns likely helped you survive the traumatic experience, yet continued despite no longer being needed. I have over 15 years experience in treating symptoms of trauma and PTSD in children, adolescents, and adults. I utilize an integrated approach, incorporating psychoeducation, parts work (IFS), EMDR therapy, mindfulness and CBT to support clients of all ages with processing the traumatic experience and integrating adaptive information and new, more effective patterns.
