EMDR and Trauma Therapy for Adults in California and texas

Meet Yana Nogid, LMFT

Hi, I’m Yana.

I believe that many people carry wounds that don't always look like trauma from the outside.

Some grew up in homes where they experienced emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. Others lived with neglect, criticism, unpredictability, or caregivers who couldn't provide the safety and connection every child deserves. And many have spent years becoming highly capable, successful adults while quietly carrying anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, or the feeling that they're always in survival mode.

If that sounds familiar, I want you to know something:

Healing is possible.

My work is centered on helping adults heal from the lasting effects of childhood trauma, PTSD, and Complex PTSD using EMDR therapy. Together, we'll look beyond symptoms to understand how your nervous system learned to adapt—and help it learn that the danger has passed.

One of the things I love most about EMDR is that it doesn't just help you understand why you feel the way you do. It helps your brain and body process experiences that have remained emotionally unresolved, creating lasting change at a deeper level.

Clients often tell me they understand their patterns intellectually—but still feel stuck repeating them.

They know where the anxiety comes from.
They know why they people-please.
They know why trusting others feels difficult.

Yet insight alone hasn't been enough to create the change they're looking for.

That's where EMDR can be transformative.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and paced to your nervous system. I believe healing happens when you feel safe enough to process difficult experiences without becoming overwhelmed. Whether we're working through childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or long-standing relational patterns, my goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more present in your relationships, and more free to live the life you want—not the one your past decided for you.

I don't see people as broken. I see people whose minds and bodies adapted in remarkable ways to survive difficult experiences. My role is to help you no longer need those survival strategies, so you can reconnect with the person you've always been beneath them.
