CPTSD therapist in Los Angeles

[yellowgirl]

Can anyone recommend a CPTSD therapist in Los Angeles?  It's very hard to find anyone knowledgeable about CPTSD specifically and not just general attachment disorders.

Thanks!

I don't live in that area but this link will take you to searchable databases for finding a therapist: http://outofthefog.net/C-PTSD/forum/index.php?topic=881.0

Good luck!

Specializes in PTSD and childhood trauma, and recognizes the C-PTSD construct.

She helped me through some very tough areas... be ready to do some deep dives if you see her.

Shel Wagner Rasch does hands-on Somatic Experiencing therapy.  (She was trained by and still works with Dr. Peter Levine.)  Even if you are not looking for a Somatic Experiencing therapist, she may be able to refer you to a good CPTSD therapist in the area.  She seems to be well-connected.  She was working out of her home in Mt. Washington (northern Los Angeles), but I believe she moved or will be moving.

I saw her up until the COVID stay-at-home orders.  She offered me Zoom sessions, but I chose to stick with my "talk" therapist.  Besides the bodywork, Shel is very insightful and intuitive and knows a great deal about complex-ptsd.
