Trauma & PTSD
Claudia Apfelbaum, MSS, LCSW
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Relationally oriented psychotherapy
Trauma-focused
Attachment-oriented
From despair and self-attack to happiness and self-confidence, this is the transformation that happens when you see me. Using attachment theory and acknowledgement of childhood trauma enables clients to perceive their life experiences in a different light and to be more empathic to their own selves and the experience of others. Emotions that have been long stifled are given the opportunity for expression which frees the soul. Insightful help is offered regarding ways to interact with significant people.
Being the daughter of Holocaust survivors, I understand trauma and the intergenerational transmission of trauma first hand. This gives me an in-depth ability to hear the pain and struggles of other people and help them to heal.

Trauma & PTSD

I believe many challenges people have in the present have their roots in past trauma, whether or not it would be readily recognized as “trauma” by other people. When we work together, we’ll start by trying to understand the connections between your history and present issues and also build any skills that will be necessary for effective trauma processing. Then we’ll use neuroscience and research backed therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) Informed EMDR, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) and Flash Technique, to process those memories that need to be resolved. These therapies are experiential (meaning that during the therapy you will be actively engaged and may experience emotions, body sensations, images and more!) and go beyond just talking to create real change in the brain and nervous system.
