Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma can feel so overwhelming. It has a way of infecting every area of one's life. In my work with those who experience trauma I take a collaborative approach where we assess and address the trauma from all angles. We use talk therapy to process what has gone unaddressed and discover together the meaning made and the effect it had on you in your relationship with yourself and others. I also use evidence-based practices like EMDR and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral) Therapy which allows us to address cognitive distortions and negative beliefs you hold about yourself so that you can overcome the pain and suffering and experience more joy and freedom.

Trauma and PTSD
Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Through my years working at different mental health agencies within Los Angeles County and Orange County, trauma has been one of the most common issues clients have talked to me about. Trauma can influence the way somebody thinks or feels about themselves and the world around them. These incredibly stressful events often changes our behavior and impacts our ability to function. I am also trained and certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy, and use a variety of other forms of evidence-based treatment as well.
A quick note about trauma-- these events don't have to be dramatically disturbing to have an impact on your mental health. Feel free to read up on this article, which explains the rising understanding about the wide spectrum of traumatic experiences: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/trauma-and-hope/201703/different-types-trauma-small-t-versus-large-t

Trauma and PTSD
Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma, and the potential diagnosis of PTSD, can stem from a variety of experiences. Sometimes it is acute trauma, a singular event, forever burned within our being, that follows us in everything we do. Sometimes it is complex or chronic trauma, a series of events or exposures that eventually broke down our ability to remain intact of body, mind or spirit. Trauma can be healed. The parts of ourselves that were harmed can be welcomed back within the larger self, forgiven. The scars will always be there, there is no time machine that can change what has happened. Yet with integration, we can rebuild our inner world to something whole, and alive.

Trauma and PTSD
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).
