Our therapy is designed to meet the unique needs of different demographics, ensuring that everyone can find support and healing in their journey. Below are some of the key groups who can benefit from our therapy programs:
Individuals: Many people experience overwhelming stress due to life events, work pressures, or personal challenges. Our individualized therapy sessions provide a safe space for you to explore your feelings, understand the sources of your stress, and develop effective coping strategies. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, our therapists are ready to guide you toward clarity and emotional relief. For instance, someone navigating the demands of a high-pressure job in Los Angeles may find that our Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques can help reframe negative thought patterns, leading to a more balanced perspective.
Couples: Relationship stress can significantly impact mental health and emotional well-being. Couples often face unique challenges, whether it’s communication issues, financial stress, or parenting pressures. Our couples therapy aims to address these shared challenges by fostering open communication, rebuilding trust, and enhancing emotional intimacy. For example, partners struggling with the stress of raising teenagers in a bustling city like Los Angeles can benefit from learning conflict resolution skills and strategies to support each other through their parenting journey. Our therapists work with couples to develop healthier dynamics, ensuring that both partners feel heard and valued.
Teens: Adolescents today encounter a myriad of pressures, from academic expectations to social media influences. Our therapists are experienced in working with teens and understand the unique challenges they face. We provide a supportive environment where young individuals can express their feelings and learn effective coping mechanisms. For instance, a teenager feeling overwhelmed by school-related stress can gain valuable insights through Emotional Regulation Therapy, helping them manage their emotions without resorting to unhealthy behaviors. Our goal is to equip teens with the tools they need to navigate their formative years with resilience and self-assurance.
Parents: The role of a parent comes with its own set of stressors, which can lead to burnout and emotional overwhelm. Whether you’re a new parent adjusting to sleepless nights or a seasoned parent managing the complexities of raising children in a fast-paced environment, our therapy can provide the support you need. We help parents recognize their stress triggers, develop self-care strategies, and cultivate a healthier family environment. For example, a parent feeling the weight of balancing work and family life can learn to prioritize their well-being, leading to a more harmonious household.
Professionals: in the bustling environment of Los Angeles, many professionals experience chronic stress due to demanding jobs and competitive workplaces. Our counseling services are tailored to help individuals in high-stress careers learn to manage their workload and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Professionals facing burnout can benefit from our specialized burnout treatment, which focuses on rediscovering passion and motivation in their work. Through therapy, they can explore strategies to minimize stress, such as setting boundaries and practicing mindfulness, ultimately leading to greater job satisfaction and personal fulfillment.
Anyone Experiencing Life Transitions: Life transitions, such as moving to a new city, changing jobs, or adjusting to retirement, can trigger feelings of uncertainty and stress. Our therapists are here to support you through these changes, offering guidance and tools to navigate the emotional landscape of transition. For example, someone relocating to Los Angeles for a new job may feel both excitement and anxiety about the change. Through therapy, they can explore their feelings, set realistic expectations, and develop a plan to integrate into their new environment smoothly.

At Touchstone Trauma Therapy, we offer a range of trauma-informed therapies tailored to individual needs. Our approaches may include EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness and Somatic therapies, and other holistic methods aimed at promoting healing and resilience.
If you are experiencing persistent feelings of anxiety, depression, or distress related to past experiences, trauma therapy may be beneficial. Our team can help assess your needs and guide you toward appropriate support.
During your first session at Touchstone Trauma Therapy, you will meet with a therapist who will discuss your background, current challenges, and goals for therapy. This initial assessment helps us create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Yes, therapy sessions at Touchstone Trauma Therapy are confidential. We adhere to strict ethical guidelines to ensure your privacy and safety, allowing you to share your experiences in a secure and supportive environment.
Somatic Therapy is a form of body-centered therapy that emphasizes the connection between the brain, mind, and body. It utilizes body awareness as a therapeutic tool to explore and resolve the somatic (physical) symptoms of psychological issues. This approach helps individuals recognize and release the physical tension that remains in the body due to past trauma and stress.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a transformative therapeutic model of psychotherapy that helps individuals understand and harmonize the various parts within themselves. According to IFS, we all have different parts within us that carry different thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. These parts can sometimes conflict with each other and create internal struggles and difficulties in our lives. IFS is commonly utilized to work with trauma memories or difficult childhood experiences.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured approach that treats trauma by safely reconnecting individuals with the traumatic images, thoughts, emotions, and body sensations they experienced, leveraging the brain’s natural healing process—Adaptive Information Processing (AIP).
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which often focuses on the traumatic event itself, EMDR targets the emotional disturbances and symptoms stemming from the trauma. The goal is to process these troubling memories, reduce their impact, and help clients develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Through EMDR, memories are transferred from the emotional part of the brain (limbic system) to long-term storage, transforming them from intrusive relived experiences into memories of past events that no longer wield disruptive power.
Experience compassionate depression counseling and effective clinical depression therapy tailored to your needs, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you overcome major depressive disorder and mood disorders.
Experience compassionate EMDR therapy tailored for healing from PTSD, anxiety, phobias, grief, and abuse recovery, helping you navigate complex trauma and reclaim your life with confidence.
Experience healing through Somatic Experiencing Therapy, a holistic approach that combines body-oriented psychotherapy and mind-body techniques to alleviate stress and anxiety, promoting deep relaxation and emotional well-being.
At Touchstone Trauma Therapy, seeking support is an important first step toward healing. Whether you are navigating Trauma Therapy, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, this is a calm place to begin with trust, care, and intention.

Trauma-informed care is an approach to therapy that recognizes how past trauma can affect a person’s thoughts, emotions, relationships, and physical responses. It focuses on creating a safe, supportive, and respectful environment where clients feel heard, empowered, and never pressured. At Touchstone Trauma Therapy, trauma-informed care means tailoring treatment to each person’s needs while using approaches that support healing at a pace that feels manageable and safe. At TTT, we utilize Evidence Based modalities such as EMDR, IFS and Somatic/Mindfulness that are effective in addressing and healing from trauma, including complex trauma.
Starting therapy begins with reaching out to schedule an initial consultation or first appointment. During that first step, we will talk about what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any questions you may have about the process. From there, we can determine the best approach for your needs and begin creating a treatment plan that feels supportive, personalized, and manageable.
Yes, therapy sessions are confidential. Protecting your privacy is an important part of creating a safe and supportive therapeutic space. There are a few legal and ethical limits to confidentiality, which will be reviewed with you at the beginning of therapy, but in general, what you share in session is kept private and treated with care and respect.
Somatic therapy supports trauma healing by helping clients notice and work with how trauma is held in the body, not just in thoughts or memories. Trauma can affect the nervous system in ways that lead to tension, overwhelm, numbness, or feeling constantly on edge. Through gentle body-based awareness and regulation techniques, somatic therapy helps clients reconnect with their bodies, build a greater sense of safety, and process trauma in a way that feels grounded and manageable.
That is completely understandable. Not every therapy experience is the right fit, and a previous approach that did not feel helpful does not mean therapy cannot be meaningful for you now. At Touchstone Trauma Therapy, I offer a personalized, trauma-informed approach tailored to your unique needs, goals, and pace. Together, we work to create a safe and supportive space that feels more aligned with the healing you are seeking.
Your first therapy session is an opportunity for me to begin building a thoughtful understanding of your experiences, concerns, and goals.
