EMDR and Trauma Therapy for Adults in California and texas

You Can Feel Solid in Yourself Again.

Meet Yana Nogid, LMFT

Hi, I’m Yana.

If you’re here, something has likely shaken your sense of certainty — even if you’re used to being capable and steady. I work with insightful, self-aware adults who are navigating experiences that have disrupted their confidence, trust, or direction. My mission is to help you process what feels overwhelming at its root so you can feel solid in yourself again.

Over time, I’ve seen how insight alone isn’t always enough. Many of my clients I work with are highly self-aware and understand their patterns deeply — yet still feel stuck or unsettled and are ready for a deeper level of change.

That’s why I specialize in EMDR and depth-oriented trauma therapy. While traditional therapy focuses on understanding, EMDR allows us to work at the level of the nervous system — where those patterns are actually held. This approach allows us to work beyond analysis and support your nervous system in fully integrating what feels unresolved.

My Approach

Where Insight Meets Integration.

Therapy with me is steady, collaborative, and depth-oriented. I bring structure to our work while creating space for reflection and honesty. Many of my clients are insightgul, thoughtful and self-aware — they don’t need to be analyzed. They need a grounded space where what feels overwhelming can be processed safely and clearly.

My approach integrates EMDR with trauma-informed and attachment-focused work. We move beyond simply understanding your patterns and toward fully resolving what feels stuck. This means working not just at the level of thought, but at the level of the nervous system — where lasting change occurs.

What sets me apart is my ability to hold complexity without losing steadiness. I respect your intelligence and autonomy while helping you navigate what feels destabilizing. Our work is focused, intentional, and paced in a way that supports real integration — not just temporary relief.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Peek Inside My World

Outside of therapy, I’m drawn to quieter, slower parts of life — simple meals shared slowly, good coffee, fresh bread, and time with people I love. I’ve lived in a number of places over the years — I was born in Riga, Latvia, and spent parts of my life across Europe and Israel — which has shaped how I see people and the world, with a lot of attention to nuance and difference. 

I naturally hold emotional complexity with steadiness and notice small shifts or subtle patterns that are harder to name — which is part of what draws me to this work.

How I Can Help You

  • EMDR Therapy

    EMDR is a research-supported therapy that helps the brain process experiences that still feel unresolved. Rather than staying stuck in analysis, we work at the level of the nervous system so the emotional intensity decreases, steadiness returns, and more adaptive beliefs can take hold. Clients often feel clearer, calmer, and more grounded in themselves. LEARN MORE

  • Relationship Trauma & Betrayal

    When trust has been shaken, it can disrupt your sense of stability and self-confidence. Together, we process the emotional impact of rupture so you can regain clarity, make grounded decisions, and feel secure in yourself and your relationships again. Whether these wounds began in childhood, adulthood, or both — you don't have to navigate them alone.

  • Anxiety & Overthinking

    For thoughtful adults, anxiety often shows up as rumination, second-guessing, or difficulty letting things go. We address the underlying drivers of that anxiety so you can feel more settled, decisive, and confident in your choices.
