Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Milpitas, CA

I am passionate and honored to support and treat diverse populations of all ages who experience mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, stress, adjustment to life changes, and healing from trauma. I work with couples, parents and families to improve relationship, communication, parenting skills, and healthy relationship dynamics. I am bilingual and speak Farsi.

You might be feeling as if you're drowning or feeling anxious. Memories haunt you. When those thoughts come, you feel overwhelmed, find yourself with your chest tightening, headaches, and possibly crying. You feel hopeless, exhausted, on edge, overextended, and stressed. You find yourself overthinking. There is no safety in the world. These are affecting your relationships, communication, work, and sleep. You long for connection. I have a strong desire to help individuals and couples who want to work on their trauma, anxiety, or relationships. I work with adults, couples, immigrants, veterans, children, and the LGBTQ community.

(Watch a brief introductory video on my website!) I'll work with you to overcome limiting patterns and discover new, more fulfilling ways to be in the world. Along the way you may discover deeply held beliefs and emotional responses that shape your experience, and choose to let go of what no longer serves you, while giving greater expression to your authentic self. I offer a warm and welcoming therapeutic environment where you can safely explore your concerns. I specialize in helping individuals and couples find relief from anxiety and other distressing emotions, heal trauma, improve self-esteem, improve communication, and experience greater relationship satisfaction.

My specialization is in the area of stress, mood disorder, trauma, relationship problems, ADD, ADHD, autism, asperger disorder, speech disorder and learning disability. My orientation is eclectic, psychodynamic, hypnotherapy, EMDR, and EEG Neurofeedback. I work with adults, adolescents, as well as children.

Are there certain aspects of your life that you are dissatisfied with?  Are there struggles within that leave you drained?  Anxiety, depression, work distress, relationship and family conflict, trauma, grief and loss are all a part of being human.  In therapy, I offer support, tools, help with emotional regulation, reframing your false self beliefs and healing your inner child.  From the school sandbox, to the hospital, to the privacy of a quiet office, I will meet you where you are at without judgement.

My clients are individuals and couples who are ready to take a deeper look into themselves and the thoughts and behaviors that aren't serving them any longer. Maybe they've noticed patterns in their lives and/or relationships that they'd like to step away from or help their partners with; issues like explosive anger, emotional withdrawal, people pleasing, codependency, substance abuse, depression, or anxiety. These patterns may be longstanding or they may have arisen as a result of a recent grief or other trauma event. My clients feel there's more to life then what they may be living, they just don't know how to access it yet.

Are you an “overthinker” with complex feelings that are hard to put into words? Do you feel misunderstood, lonely, isolated, or unfulfilled? Are you striving to please others at the expense of yourself? Perhaps you feel exhausted, overworked, over-stressed, and as though you're never enough. You may crave a deep connection with yourself, your loved ones and the world around you...but may also find yourself struggling to make sense of the world. Unexpectedly life-changing or stressful events can increase these feelings, and hope for change can seem so far away. If so, you're not alone. I warmly welcome you to my practice.

As a resilient survivor of decades of trauma, I am passionate about serving children, adolescence, adults, and their families to promote healing from physical, emotional, sexual, intergenerational, and racial traumas. With 19 years serving populations with varying neurodiversities (ADHD, ASD, developmental delays), mental health struggles, and marginalized communities with complex traumas (e.g., substance abuse, domestic violence, sexual trauma, oppression), I am dedicated to empowering others to access their most authentic selves and journeying alongside people as they create a purposeful life that is meaningful for them.

Hi there, I'm Rickey! I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 7 years. My Master's in Social Work focused on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality and how our different life experiences shape how we navigate our surroundings. I recognize my client's right to self-determination, and I want to empower my clients to collaboratively come up with their obtainable short-term and long-term plans and goals. Let's further explore together how to make better use of the tools we've been working with and perhaps add new additional tools to the toolbox or not.

My name is Janice Braly and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist licensed in California. I have extensive experience working in pediatric mental health and with families with diverse backgrounds both in Nevada and California. My area of focus is telehealth for individuals who are struggling with relationships, the effects of trauma, mild to moderate mental health symptoms, and/or seeking to have Christian-based concepts to be applied in the therapeutic process.

Hello, my name is Nancy Rarick, license number is 35274. I have been a licensed therapist for 30 years. I prefer client-centered therapy but utilize many other modalities which benefit my client the most. Currently, I only have a telemedicine practice which enables me to see clients throughout California. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of my client. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, focused solution therapy, and am trained in EMDR and DBT. Because I am a registered nurse, I am passionate about health and wellness and feel physical well-being is synergistic with good mental health.

Transformative potential lies at the heart of all wounding. Trauma, relationship challenges and life transitions compel us to re-examine our lives, values, patterns and sense of Self.
