Pleasanton Therapists specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Rebecca Scott, PsyD

In addition to the many problems that complicate our daily lives such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, patients come to me with complex relationship issues including marital distress, divorce recovery, verbal & emotional abuse, loss of child, parent, or spouse. The holistic approach that I use will address the root problem, not just the symptoms. I offer perspective on your experience, and provide clear, concise directions on meeting your treatment goals.

Christine Ibarra

I specialize in two main types of clients - those who require a deep understanding of trauma and those with neurodivergent characteristics; think military Veterans and the ASD population. My clients are trying to make sense of their lives through a conversational exploration style that is far from cold or clinical. I am simply here to create a truly safe space for you to explore your thoughts, help you process experiences, and begin to enjoy life again.

Liliana Ramos

You might be feeling as if you're drowning, feeling anxious, or sad. Memories haunt you. When those thoughts come, you feel overwhelmed, find yourself with heart palpitations, sweating, headache, and possibly crying. You feel hopeless, exhausted, on edge, overextended, and stressed. You find yourself overthinking and struggling with life. There is no safety in the world. These are affecting your relationships, work, and sleep.

Ji Eun Ko

I specialize in working with people who hold an intersection of their identity that experiences oppression, racism, erasure, and marginalization. That may be your cultural identity, your sexual identity, or even the ways you are different from the family that raised you. And maybe you're struggling with your sense of self, a traumatic past, or unhealthy relationship patterns. Perhaps you feel out of control with depression and anxiety, and cultural tension. You are looking in the right place.

Christina Vasquez

Ever felt alone in a crowded room? Had an overwhelming feeling of wanting to cry? Have thoughts that keep you up at night? You are not alone, many struggle with depression and anxiety daily. These struggles cause poor performance at work, poor concentration in school and cause us to say things that we don’t mean to the ones that we love. In therapy, I can help you identify ways to improve your quality of life and create a safe space for you to overcome the barriers preventing your success.

Lauren Magana

Every person’s behavior is multi-faceted and comes from a variety of sources — it is our unique stories, histories and experiences all mixed together. This combination colors what we learn, the way we learn, and how we grow. I provide therapy to individuals, couples, and children and families, to support understanding of where behaviors come from and how these behaviors impact relationships, with the goal of supporting greater connection and sustainable change.

Caroline Stone

My clients are looking to make specific changes in their lives and want an interactive therapist to help provide insight, as well as specific tools and strategies for coping and, ideally, transformation. I frequently work with people around boundaries, trauma, anxiety and depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, and issues related to chronic pain and illness.

Existing as a queer person is hard. I get it! I specialize in somatic and relational therapy for queer and trans adults and parents who've been through hard things and feel disconnected, small, and exhausted. Maybe this resonates for you! You want to show up in life as your full, messy, and authentic self. You're done and you're ready for more. More connection with yourself. More liberation from old wounds. And more joy in the life you're living right now.

Courtland McPherson

You are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, unfulfilled. Maybe your relationship feels like it is crashing and burning. Or maybe you feel like you friend circle has shrunk or that you are the last person standing with no romantic prospects. Maybe you are a parent just trying to get through the day. You have lost motivation, direction, and a sense of purpose. You are not sure when it started but you do not feel the same. Maybe you just feel alone and the voice in your head is saying “what is wrong?”

Shannon Tragarz

Life can be incredibly beautiful and profoundly challenging. Whether it be a long history of generational trauma within your family, current relationship challenges, or a recent painful event, these experiences can impact how you think and how you feel. When these thoughts and emotions begin to uproot you, it can be so difficult to know what to do and where to go. That's where I can help. The first step to finding a therapist is the most challenging and I’m so glad you’re here.

David S. Wu

I support my clients in honoring their unique identities, pay attention to their present moment, their bodily and minds states with presence and kindness (a simple working definition of mindfulness). My clients, in turn, can move lovingly towards their current struggles, mend and heal, clarify and envision, and grow and root in wisdom. They can also develop loving relationships with their chronic symptoms which can include: grief, stress, anxiety, depression, focus/attention, anger, etc.

Kathy Brady

Life in the Bay Area is challenging and the additional stress associated with being LGBTQ+, a woman, pregnancy, parenting or all of the above can push it over the edge. High levels of stress can interfere with relationships, parenting, work, self-care and health. Therapy can support you in cultivating a sense of well-being and balance in your life as well as help you overcome specific mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and addictive behaviors.

Amanda Piasecki

I work primarily with queer people and transfolks--many of whom come from immigrant families and navigate complex identities and experiences as a result. Most of the people I work with are coping with symptoms that have emerged in relationship to trauma. I love working with couples, groups, and families, particularly those with nontraditional configurations, as well as with individuals.
