Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Ontario, CA

believe that each of us, at one time or another, struggles with self-worth, coping with crises, interpersonal conflicts, or problematic behaviors. Depression, anxiety, and difficulty with relationships can really impair one's ability to be their best and to feel emotionally healthy and capable. When those times happen to you, it can help to have a caring therapist who understands, helps identify solutions, and doesn't judge. My style is to focus on the here and now, with practical strategies for making meaningful changes that fit you and your situation.

Hi there, I'm Tiffany . Does this sound like you? Something happened to you (or someone you love a month) ago, a year ago, years ago. You have tried everything you know to "move on" yet the mere thought of it brings tears, makes you wince inwardly, or makes getting out of bed daunting? I am here to support you as you process your experience, and find ways to alleviate some of the suffering.

Hello! My name is Tifanni Sanabria and I am a Licensed Clinician Social Worker in the state of California. I have experience working with children, adults, couples and families using trauma -informed practices.

My name is Carol Kosta. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I hold a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch Los Angeles and I am a certified EMDR practitioner. Over the last 20 years I have have worked as a therapist with diverse populations in private practice, community based programs and facilities that treat mental health, eating disorders and substance use disorders. I primarily use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients recover from trauma and other life distressing experiences, including PTSD , anxiety, depression and panic disorders.

I believe in healing as a community & work with Black, Indigenous, & Women of Color (BIPOC) to help address the impact depression, anxiety, & trauma has had on our lives. We are all deserving of being heard, valued, & living a fulfilling life. Yet somewhere in history, in society, in our families & within ourselves a different narrative may have been created- a narrative that’s prevented us from recognizing our worth. As a result, you may have developed a pattern of not speaking your truth, overextending your boundaries, constantly questioning yourself, or any other behaviors that were once ways of surviving but no longer serve you.

I have been in the field for the past 12 years and have had the privilege of working with many different communities. I have extensive experience with trauma , depression, anxiety, OCD, identity development (sexual and gender), relationship issues, domestic violence, self harm and suicidal ideation. I have worked on a college campus and am well versed with ADHD, Autism and academic issues as well.

You may have been feeling as though you've been given a life without an instruction manual. Relationships might be more challenging for you than not, and in comparing yourself to other people, you feel like something is missing, that might explain how you end up with the "same person" over and over - the disrespectful, distant, controlling or dismissive person that the previously-ideal partner became, after a while. This is a pattern that can occur with Complex PTSD , a common situation with many of the clients I speak to, which can be resolved with psychoeducation and trauma therapy.
