"Through Trauma & Beyond, Dr. Friedman-Gell and Dr. Barron bring an invaluable service to the San Fernando Valley. I have known these two psychologists for many years. They possess deep knowledge of what happens in the brain and body, and not just the mind in cases of trauma. They also understand the importance of early relationship dynamics to current symptom expression. Anyone in need of treatment can rest assured of the depth of their training, experience and dedication for treating the whole person."

"It has been our experience that trauma is at the root of most psychological and mental health issues. We understand that defenses are protective mechanisms that have served a life-long purpose. This understanding allows us to attune to nuances of each clients’ personal way of being in the world. We believe that our approach supports clients in discovering a sense of wonder and possibilities for themselves and their future."
