Dr. Laura Strom

Welcome! I am a Stanford-trained trauma therapist. I specialize in the intersection of trauma with disabilities (like brain injuries, autoimmune disorders or hearing loss, etc.).

In my practice I use evidence-based treatments to effectively treat symptoms from trauma, including posttraumatic stress disorder. I use Stanford Cue-centered Treatment for trauma (a type of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and brainspotting (all evidence-based). I also provide a lot of coaching around disabilities, whether newly acquired, or something you've had for many years, and accessing resources to help.

You can expect your posttraumatic symptoms to substantially lessen within a short number of sessions with me. You should have less intrusive thoughts, nightmares, flashbacks, etc. while also gaining greater freedom and pleasure in your day to day life.
