Trauma therapy that moves through, not around.
Doctoral-level (PhD/PsyD) psychologists treating trauma & ptsd for people
in Oakland and across the East Bay — online, in-network, and usually with no waitlist. From the hills to the flats, you can meet with your psychologist from home instead of crossing the East Bay for it.
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 Oakland.
Oakland is proudly its own place — diverse, creative, and navigating fast change and cost-of-living pressure that wears on people quietly.
You can meet your psychologist from home instead of crossing the East Bay for it — and pick from every California-licensed clinician, not only the few nearby. Every one of our
psychologists is licensed in California and sees clients across Alameda County — Rockridge, Temescal, Fruitvale, and the neighborhoods from the hills to the flats —
by secure video. Where you are in Oakland 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
