Trauma Therapy

Who this is for

Trauma and abuse can affect how you feel, how you relate to others, and how you move through daily life. Ryann DeSouza, LMFT works with individuals, children and teens, couples, and families around trauma, abuse, domestic violence, stress, and related concerns.

She is a certified Domestic Violence counselor (CORA, since 2005) and an Expressive Arts Therapist (JFK University, 2013). Therapy is available in person in Burlingame, CA and by HIPAA-secure telehealth across California, Virginia, and West Virginia.

How Ryann works with trauma

Ryann has practiced psychotherapy for over 16 years. She will tailor the work to your needs. Approaches used in this practice include:

• Expressive Arts Therapy to process experiences that are hard to put into words, using creative processes such as art, music, dance, and drama.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change maladaptive thought patterns.
• Play Therapy for children who may not have the verbal skills to express complex emotions.
• Solution-Focused Therapy to identify strengths and build on what is already working.

Ryann has worked with culturally and ethnically diverse populations and with LGBTQ+ clients. If parenting is part of the picture, she is also a certified Attached at the Heart Parent Educator (API, since 2018).
