Trauma therapy that moves through, not around.
Doctoral-level (PhD/PsyD) psychologists treating trauma & ptsd for people
in Long Beach and across Southern California — online, in-network, and usually with no waitlist. From Belmont Shore to Bixby Knolls, sessions happen wherever you are — no fighting Long Beach traffic to make an appointment.
The thing that happened isn't in the past the way it should be — it's in your sleep, your startle, the situations you quietly avoid. Trauma isn't weakness and it isn't permanent. It's a nervous system stuck in a loop that the right treatment can close.
Trauma & PTSD therapy, explained.
Trauma keeps the body braced for a danger that's already over. Our psychologists use the treatments with the strongest evidence for PTSD: Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to work through the beliefs the trauma left behind, and Prolonged Exposure (PE) to take the charge out of the memory so it stops running your day. You set the pace. We work in a way that respects your nervous system — the goal is to feel more in control, not to relive the worst day of your life on command.
Trauma & PTSD therapy in Long Beach.
Long Beach has its own identity — a port city with a large, visible LGBTQ+ community and a diversity that a one-size-fits-all clinic rarely matches.
Affirming, identity-aware care shouldn't depend on which office happens to be nearby. Telehealth lets you choose the therapist who actually fits, from anywhere in Long Beach. Every one of our
psychologists is licensed in California and sees clients across Los Angeles County — Belmont Shore, Bixby Knolls, downtown, and the neighborhoods along the coast —
by secure video. Where you are in Long Beach decides the view out your window during session, not whether
you can get trauma & ptsd care.
What trauma & ptsd therapy here looks like.
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) — evidence-based, structured, and time-limited
- Prolonged Exposure when appropriate, always at a pace you control
- A trauma-informed clinician who treats your context as central, not background
Who you’d work with.
