Trauma & PTSD

Trauma disrupts the nervous system's ability to feel safe, and healing requires more than talking through what happened. At the Center for Connection, our trauma-informed therapists use EMDR, somatic experiencing, and polyvagal-informed approaches to help clients process both single-event and complex trauma. We work with adults, teens, and children, and we integrate across disciplines when nervous system regulation or sensory processing is part of the picture. We serve clients across our Pasadena, Duarte, and Santa Barbara locations.
