Specialized Trauma Therapy for Teens & Adults in Pasadena

We believe in complete transparency when it comes to the financial investment in your care. Trauma therapy is an active, specialized commitment to retraining an overworked nervous system and reclaiming your baseline of day-to-day safety.

We operate strictly as a private-pay, out-of-network practice. This model is exceptionally important in trauma care, as it guarantees your therapeutic pacing, clinical timeline, and deeply personal records remain entirely confidential and free from the oversight of insurance corporations. If you carry PPO insurance and wish to utilize your out-of-network behavioral health benefits, our care team can gladly provide a monthly, itemized "superbill" complete with standard clinical procedure codes to submit to your carrier for potential reimbursement.

Absolutely not. Forcing a person to retell a painful story before their nervous system has the capacity to process it is clinically counterproductive. Our primary goal during your initial sessions is to build a solid foundation of emotional safety, predictability, and rapport. We begin by equipping you with concrete, somatic, and cognitive stabilization tools to help you manage day-to-day triggers and expand your window of tolerance. You are always the author of your own therapeutic process; we only step into processing the past when your system feels completely grounded, and at a pace you entirely control.

Trauma is not defined by the event itself, but by how your brain and body processed it. Whether you experienced a single, major life-threatening event resulting in PTSD (often called "Big T" trauma), or chronic, ongoing stressors like emotional abuse, childhood neglect, or severe bullying leading to Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), your experience is valid. If it is negatively impacting your current life, nervous system, and relationships, it deeply deserves care.

We provide premium flexibility to best support your comfort level and schedule. You can choose to meet face-to-face in our quiet, professional office suite in Pasadena—which offers the added safety and convenience of free, private building lot parking—or connect via our secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. For many individuals navigating trauma, meeting online from the absolute safety and predictability of their own home provides an excellent, low-activation environment to begin this deeply meaningful work. Our virtual therapy platform is fully available to any resident residing anywhere within the state of California.
