Trauma Therapy for victims of crime in California


Trauma Therapy for California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB) Recipients

Patricia Alvarado - EMDR therapist

If you have experienced the trauma of a serious crime, our goal is to create a safe space where you can process that trauma and begin to rebuild your life.

We utilize trauma-focused therapies, including trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to provide a nurturing environment for survivors to heal emotional wounds and rediscover their sense of empowerment.

Our therapeutic approach focuses on alleviating symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression, while also equipping you with coping strategies to foster a renewed sense of safety and trust.

By addressing the effects of crime on your mental health, our therapy aims to empower you to reclaim your life and move forward with resilience and strength.

When working with us, our goal is for you to experience emotional relief and empowerment.

We focus on alleviating symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD, while enhancing your emotional regulation. Our aim is for you to regain a sense of safety, trust, and control in your life, helping you rebuild your self-identity and form healthier relationships. Through our efforts, we strive to help you feel more resilient and capable of handling daily challenges, leading to a renewed sense of hope and purpose for the future.

We collaborate with the California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB).

CalVCB is a state program that offers reimbursement for various crime-related expenses to eligible victims who have experienced physical injury, emotional injury due to the threat of physical injury, death, or emotional injury.  

If you’ve submitted your application to CalVCB or are waiting for your application number, please reach out to us to get the process started.
