Healing from PTSD: A Compassionate, Trauma-Informed Journey in Oakland and the Bay Area

Understanding Trauma & PTSD

Living with PTSD can often feel overwhelming, like you’re trapped in a cycle that you can’t break. It can feel isolating, as though the weight of your experiences is too much to carry. But healing is not only possible—it’s within your reach. In Oakland and the Bay Area, we take a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to therapy, meeting you where you are and guiding you toward emotional well-being.

Our trauma-informed care recognizes the profound effects that trauma has on your mind, body, and spirit. We use a range of therapeutic tools tailored to your unique needs, from EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to mindfulness and cutting-edge therapies like ketamine-assisted therapy. We don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach—our goal is to support you with the methods that work best for you, always with empathy, care, and respect.

A Trauma-Informed Approach: Nurturing Your Whole Self

At the heart of trauma-informed care is the understanding that trauma impacts every part of who you are. This isn’t just about treating the symptoms of PTSD—it’s about tending to your whole being: your emotions, your body, and your mind. Our approach creates a safe, non-judgmental space where you can heal at your own pace.

We recognize the immense courage it takes to face trauma. That’s why we emphasize empowerment, choice, and collaboration in our work together. Healing from trauma is a deeply personal experience, and we are here to walk alongside you, offering the support you need to reconnect with your inner strength and find lasting peace.

Gentle Yet Powerful Tools for Healing

We believe that trauma healing requires a variety of approaches, as no two healing journeys are the same. Here are some of the tools we use to support your recovery:

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

EMDR is a gentle yet highly effective therapy that helps you process distressing memories and emotions. Through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories, allowing you to release the emotional charge that keeps them alive in your mind. Over time, this process helps reduce the intensity of flashbacks, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts, helping you feel more grounded in the present.

EMDR isn’t just about revisiting painful memories; it’s about transforming your relationship with those memories and finding a sense of peace. By addressing the root causes of your PTSD, EMDR helps you reclaim your ability to live fully, without being held back by the past.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS offers a unique approach to trauma healing by recognizing that we all have different “parts” within us, each with its own feelings, beliefs, and memories. Some of these parts may be wounded by trauma, leading to internal conflict, anxiety, or disconnection. IFS helps you identify and connect with these parts, especially the ones that have been hurt or are struggling to protect you.

Through IFS, we work together to heal these parts, fostering greater inner harmony and emotional resilience. This process helps you rebuild a compassionate relationship with yourself, promoting healing from the inside out. It’s a journey of self-discovery and self-compassion, helping you feel whole again.

Mindful Self-Compassion

When you’ve experienced trauma, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly on edge or trapped in past memories. Mindful Self Compassion offers a way to ground yourself in the present moment, helping you reconnect with your body, your feelings, and the world around you. Through mindfulness, you can learn to observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment, giving yourself the space to heal. Through self compassion, you can develop an inner compassionate voice, bring love and healing to the wounded parts of you, and learn self soothing skills. 

This practice is especially powerful in managing the anxiety, flashbacks, and triggers that often accompany PTSD. With mindfulness, you can learn to respond to your trauma with compassion and patience, building a more resilient relationship with yourself as you move through your healing process.

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy: A Cutting-Edge Approach to Healing

For some, traditional therapies alone may not fully address the depth of their trauma. That’s where ketamine-assisted therapy can offer a transformative alternative. In a safe, therapeutic setting, ketamine can help break the cycle of trauma, allowing you to access deeper layers of healing. It creates an opportunity for you to experience relief from emotional pain and gain new perspectives on your trauma.

Ketamine therapy is always carefully monitored, ensuring that it’s the right fit for your healing journey. When combined with traditional therapies like EMDR and IFS, ketamine-assisted therapy can offer profound breakthroughs in understanding and processing your trauma.

Your Personalized Healing Journey

Healing from PTSD is a deeply personal experience, and we understand that every person’s journey is unique. That’s why we work with you to create a treatment plan that’s tailored to your specific needs. Whether you choose EMDR, IFS, mindfulness, ketamine-assisted therapy, or a combination of approaches, we’re here to guide you toward the healing that feels right for you.

Our trauma-informed team in Oakland and the Bay Area is committed to meeting you where you are, with patience and compassion. We honor the bravery it takes to confront your trauma, and we’ll walk with you every step of the way, helping you reconnect with your sense of peace and wholeness.
