Alexa Altman
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
My clinical approach draws from my extensive training in mind/body interventions such as
EMDR
, Somatic Experiencing, psychodynamic psychotherapy and mindfulness meditation.
I have a gentle, innovative, creative approach to therapy, where my goal is to connect clients to their own sense of resilience and their unique internal healing resources. I believe that each individual has an innate blueprint for health, which can be accessed through trusting the process, slowing down, and deepening the connection to oneself and the present moment.

Hi, thank you for visiting. After 20 years as a therapist, I have found that people need a combination of support, insight, and challenging interactions to help them move past obstacles they are facing. I work with individuals on the most intimate aspects of their lives, including their sexuality, relationships, and life and death issues. My style is interactive and relational, and employs uncovering family of origin dynamics, but also more practical,
EMDR
and Brainspotting methods to help make changes more quickly. My specialty is in all aspects of loss and grief, addictions, eating disorders, relationships, trauma and cancer.

Verified
I am trained in
EMDR
(trauma-based therapy) and Hakomi method (somatic therapy).
You are going through a life transition and needing support to navigate it. You are balancing your different roles. You want to do it all. Your mind is constantly racing. You’re worried about the next thing on your to-do list. You feel guilty for saying no. You question your worth and worry that your best is not good enough in your relationships, career, or familial life. You are aware of emotional and thinking patterns that are holding you back and you want to break these patterns. You are aware of certain past wounds and want to heal. If any of these statements resonate, you are not alone and therapy can help.
Amy Karman
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Verified
If you're feeling stuck and experiencing symptoms, trauma may be to blame. Underneath most human issues I usually find trauma beneath the surface. As a certified
EMDR
therapist, I am highly trained to treat and heal trauma. Even if addiction is the issue, or food issues, or depression, treating the unresolved little t (smaller incidents) and big T (more obvious traumatic experiences) helps alleviate the present day symptoms.
EMDR
works quicker by targeting the roots of issues and helping to free the body of trauma that has been stuck for weeks, months or even years.

You may be experiencing increased levels of anxiety, fear, depression, overwhelm and isolation- living with unresolved trauma. I am committed to helping you find a greater sense of well-being and relief, and to gently help you reconnect to your heart. My approach to psychotherapy is based in depth psychology, and I offer creative and mindfulness-based strategies combined with trauma-informed tools integrating my work in Jungian and spiritual psychology with neuroscience.

One of the best things my dad ever said to me was: Unless you believe in reincarnation, it’s time to be happy now. (Personally, I think this applies even if you do believe in reincarnation.) How to make the most of our time, our relationships, and ourselves - for me, these are the key questions that led me to become a marriage and family therapist. Along with traditional talk therapy, I use
EMDR
(if desired) to help you work through present challenges and past difficult experiences so that you can live more freely in the here and now - unencumbered by old self-defeating beliefs and fears.

EMDR Therapists
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an information processing therapy that helps clients cope with trauma, addictions, and phobias. During this treatment, the patient focuses on a specific thought, image, emotion, or sensation while simultaneously watching the therapist's finger or baton move in front of his or her eyes. The client is told to recognize what comes up for him/her when thinking of an image; then the client is told to let it go while doing bilateral stimulation.
