Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Fremont, CA

You may be at an inflection point—something has changed, the way you’ve been coping no longer feels sustainable, or you know something needs to be different but aren’t yet sure what comes next.

I work especially well with adults who are used to carrying a lot, taking care of others, or pushing through difficult situations and have reached a point where that approach is no longer working as well as it once did.

My style is thoughtful, direct, and collaborative. We’ll look beneath the immediate problem to understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, while also identifying practical ways to move forward. I don’t believe therapy should feel aimless or endless, but I also won’t rush you toward solutions before we understand what is actually happening.

The goal is therapy with insight and movement—where greater understanding leads to meaningful change you can carry into your life.

I’m Dr. Cathy Evangelatos, a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of California. I’m glad you’re here and I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing and growth. You have the option to choose a secular or faith-integrated approach for therapy.

Education:

· I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California with a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the American School of Professional Psychology.

Welcome. I'm Roxy, dedicated to helping you find what you are looking for in therapy. My goal is to offer a safe, compassionate space where you can heal and grow.

You might have experienced childhood trauma, a distressing single event and/or are overwhelmed by society's impossible demands placed on mothers or with being a neurodivergent brain in our neurotypical-dominant society. You might look like you have it all together (or not!); but either way, are overwhelmed and discouraged. You might be confused, dissociating, or have no idea how you feel.

Come as you are. However you are. You are so welcomed here.

You can experience wellness within even in the midst of your past (or present) circumstances.

People come to therapy for different reasons. Sometimes something clearly isn't working. Other times, life may look okay on the surface, but you feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure about what you want next. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, and major life changes, as well as those wanting to better understand themselves and the patterns that keep showing up in their lives.

My approach is warm, grounded, and curious. I’m interested in understanding what’s happening beneath the surface, including your thoughts and emotions, the patterns you've developed over time, and how your experiences show up in your body. Therapy can be a place to make sense of those experiences while finding ways to move forward that feel meaningful and true to you.

As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. I strive to create a space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and explore your experiences in the context of your relationships, culture, identity, and the life you’ve lived.

Hi there, I’m Maria Avina. For me, therapy is all about helping individuals find healing in many areas of their life. I have over 15 years of experience working as a therapist in the community. My approach: I set clear goals for myself and my clients, and treat every session as an opportunity to make progress. I approach therapy through a person-centered lens and through other holistic approaches. I am excited to work with anyone seeking healing and self growth.
