Poway Therapists specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Miriam Chor Freitas

I work with people who have experienced complex trauma by teaching them skills to calm and balance their emotions so they can develop more self-compassion and loving self-care through different strategies such as breathing, relaxation, meditation, movement and so on. Mindfulness strategies help people bring their attention to the present moment with less judgement allowing them to see situations more objectively offering them the choice to let go of what no longer serves them.

Stacy Bonds

I value working with folks facing all kinds of difficulties, but specialize in working with anxiety, depression, PTSD, sexuality and gender issues. I have a passion for walking alongside people in the midst of struggle. When you come to therapy, it's like you are trying to climb a mountain. I am not at the top of your mountain but, rather, am on another mountain, offering a different perspective, pointing out potential dangers, and helping you find the most effective path along your journey.
