We may seek healing from anxiety and
trauma
in the energetic transpersonal realm as we realize we are spiritual beings exploring life lessons.
My goal as a therapist is for you to feel supported and inspired. Our work together is directed towards balancing and healing your health and life issues. When you come in to see me, we start where your concerns are. You may come to recognize your pain as an opportunity to expand your insight and empowerment.

Integrative Psychotherapy
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
I have a warm, collaborative, relational and empowering style. At times we look at what holds you back, and at times we look at the evolving being who is struggling to emerge. Both polarities have something to offer when properly accessed and integrated. Since wounding frequently happens in relationship, healing may best be facilitated in relationship with someone who is accepting all of who you are.
Trauma
requires a safe and inviting space to move into, and needs delicate handling. I help couples find a way to communicate that makes it safer for both to come forward vulnerably.

Heather Haley
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
My practice is unique because I combine talk therapy with a powerful and gentle form of energy work called Soul Lightening Acupressure. I guide clients to focus on what arises naturally from their inner selves – physical sensations, emotions, thoughts, images – and together we use this inner wisdom as a guide for what needs healing and attention. The energy work will help you feel calm, centered, grounded, and connected with your higher self. As we allow the energy that is stuck in the body from
trauma
or stress to flow freely again, old patterns of thoughts and behaviors can clear, insights arise, and lasting healing can occur.

Dr. Nobuko Hattori
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
I’m Nobuko, and I specialize in treating
PTSD
and
trauma
-related difficulties.
Facing your past
trauma
can be nerve-wracking. You had hoped your pain would go away with time. You know that therapy would be helpful, but what kind of therapy and by whom? Living with
trauma
is already difficult and you are worried that you may be in more pain if you face it or chose the wrong therapist. You are not alone. Many people have been there, then reclaimed their life through
trauma
-focused therapy. I'd like you to reclaim yours too.
