Trauma and PTSD
Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we approach trauma and PTSD with a compassionate and transformative method, helping individuals heal from past wounds that continue to affect their lives and relationships. Our Deconstructing Anxiety™ model guides clients to uncover the 5 "core fears" at the heart of their trauma responses—including fear of abandonment, loss of identity, loss of meaning, loss of purpose and fear of death. We then identify the “chief defenses” that have developed to cope with these fears, like hypervigilance, emotional numbing, or isolation. By encouraging clients to do the opposite of these defenses in a supportive and safe environment, we create a path for them to reclaim their sense of safety, rebuild trust, and experience greater resilience. This healing process not only helps release the hold of traumatic memories but also empowers individuals to engage more openly and authentically in their relationships, fostering a renewed sense of connection and inner peace.

Trauma and PTSD
Stephen B. Lewis Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Many of my clients first come to see me to help resolve an addiction or reduce anxiety and it turns out that an underlying childhood trauma or PTSD is the root cause of their issue. Using hypnosis I help any client with trauma or PTSD resolve and heal past events, helping them integrate those negative memories so they become part of the distant past rather than something that affects them viscerally in the present.

Trauma and PTSD
Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Something bad happens, nothing good follows, and everyone pretends it's okay. This simple series of events can lead to lasting emotional and physical symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms make us feel crazy. Let me assure you, you are not crazy and you are not alone. I am trained in a trauma treatment technique called eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), that can allow for integration of traumatic memories into one's healthy and coherent narrative. I would be honored to provide you a safe space to work through the painful experiences that just won't seem to go away.

Trauma and PTSD
Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I haven't met a client who couldn't benefit from some degree of healing from trauma, whether relational, developmental, systemic, big T, complex trauma, PTSD... we all carry trauma in varying degrees until we're able to integrate it. My work is trauma informed, with a foundation in somatic psychotherapy which is needed for lasting results - trauma impacts the body as well as the brain. If you ignore the body in therapy the thoughts and emotions may improve for a time, but the patterns of constriction that impact the body will remain and sooner or later the distressing thoughts and emotions will return. I also draw on EMDR, neurobiology, energy psychology, self-compassion, mindfulness and other modalities. My work is compassionate yet direct and results driven.
