Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 10606
Initially trained in Psychodyamic Theory, I have expanded my training to include Trauma Informed Therapy, Gottman Couples techniques, Somatic Experience, and Attachment Theories.
As an experienced psychoanalyst, I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families who feel stuck and can't see options for change. During each stage of life, we face a different set of physical and emotional challenges that can create feelings of despair, fear, sadness, loneliness and anxiety. It is overwhelming to be a pre-teen or teen trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in. Individuals feel helpless because they repeat unwanted behaviors that often stem from early trauma. Couples keep fighting the same fight over and over and can't break the cycle. I help you to change these patterns.

I have taught therapists-in-training at two universities for the past decade, run a training program for clinicians, and have authored numerous articles and four books: on trauma, child/adolescent treatment, group therapy, and working with boys.
Never thought you'd find yourself looking for a therapist, or had a disappointing therapy experience before? Much of the success of treatment depends on finding someone whom you can trust, who is as invested in seeing you make progress as you are. I have a solid track record working with children, adolescents, adults and families to create change in their lives...even when situations feel hopeless.

" As well, that trauma therapy is best when it doesn't re- traumatize the client.
Tired of hearing "get better" and you having to wrestle with wanting to explode because you really wish that You Could ...Just... Get better!"

Psychotherapy is about becoming conscious of who you are, and how you impact your world. People come for psychotherapy when the ways in which they are acting, behaving, and living in the world are no longer working well for them.
All kinds of events can shake us up to the point where we need help to adjust to something new.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
