Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
Trauma can leave lasting emotional scars. Psychoanalytic therapy offers a safe space to explore the unconscious impacts of traumatic experiences. Together we'll work to gently uncover hidden memories, emotional conflicts, and defense mechanisms that may be keeping you stuck. By bringing these unconscious elements to light, we can facilitate healing, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and empower you to reclaim a sense of safety and control in your life.

Dorothy Geiger, LMFT & Associates

Processing trauma with typical talk therapy is usually not enough. Using CRM, a neurologically based trauma treatment, you will find that a deeper healing can take place and you can feel comfortable in your mind and body again.

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.

Trauma and PTSD
Marley Cote
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS
Shame. Pain. Betrayal. Terror. Panic. Disgust. Rage. These are the common emotions that haunt or plague many survivors of (complex) trauma. Trauma can leave survivors feeling fragmented, dehumanized, and paralyzed. These emotions are often only one part of struggling to survive, with flashbacks and trauma responses often frustrating or flooding survivors. Many survivors often wonder if they will ever feel "normal" again after what has happened, if it is even possible to find safety again within and outside of themselves. In my work with survivors, my clients discover what it means to be grounded again within their bodies, to reclaim safety within their bodies, and to release trauma that has limited them for so long.
