Healing at a pace that feels safe

Trauma informed therapy by video, including EMDR and IFS, for adults across California.

Who this is for

Trauma can show up long after the event, in your sleep, your relationships and your body. Our trauma informed therapists work with adults living with complex trauma and PTSD, including survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Feeling safe and respected with your therapist is key. We take time to build that relationship and move at a pace that works for you.

How we work with this

Dina specialized in trauma during her master's program and places great emphasis on repairing the mind body connection that trauma can affect. Across the team, several trauma approaches are available, so you can find one that fits.

EMDR
Misty is EMDR trained.
Internal Family Systems
Holly uses IFS with individuals experiencing trauma.
Inner child work
Emily uses inner child work to help clients heal past wounds.
Trauma focused CBT and DBT
Dina draws on trauma focused cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapy.

What sessions look like

Every session is by secure video on a HIPAA compliant platform, with nothing to download. You join from home, from work or from your parked car, anywhere in California.

You and your therapist decide together whether to meet weekly or every other week.
