Trauma-Informed Therapy in Orinda, Oakland & the Bay Area
Not all trauma is obvious. Sometimes it shows up years later in how you feel, relate, or move through the world.
At Tonalli Therapy & Consulting, we provide trauma therapy for adults and teens in Orinda, Oakland, Berkeley, and throughout the Bay Area — with telehealth available across California. Whether you're navigating PTSD, complex trauma, intergenerational wounds, or experiences that have never felt safe to talk about, we offer care that is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in your full story.
How Trauma Can Show Up
Past experiences can affect:
Emotional responses and triggers
Relationships and trust
Self-worth and inner dialogue
Anxiety, numbness, or overwhelm
Even when you’ve “moved on,” your body may still hold onto it.
What Trauma Therapy Looks Like
Trauma therapy at Tonalli is not about forcing you to relive everything. We move at your pace, with your safety as the foundation.
Trauma therapy isn’t about forcing you to relive everything.
Instead, we:
Move at a pace that feels safe
Focus on both understanding and regulation
Work with patterns, not just events
Support your nervous system along the way
Approaches We May Use
Depending on your needs, we may integrate:
EMDR therapy
Parts work / inner child work
Cognitive and somatic approaches
All tailored to you.
We offer EMDR therapy for clients whose trauma is held in the body and hasn't responded fully to talk therapy alone. EMDR helps the nervous system actually process and release what it's been holding — rather than just talking around it.
