Can anyone recommend a CPTSD therapist in Los Angeles? It's very hard to find anyone knowledgeable about CPTSD specifically and not just general attachment disorders.
Thanks!
I don't live in that area but this link will take you to searchable databases for finding a therapist: http://outofthefog.net/C-PTSD/forum/index.php?topic=881.0
Good luck! :wave:

Specializes in PTSD and childhood trauma, and recognizes the C-PTSD construct.
She helped me through some very tough areas... be ready to do some deep dives if you see her.
Shel Wagner Rasch does hands-on Somatic Experiencing therapy. (She was trained by and still works with Dr. Peter Levine.) Even if you are not looking for a Somatic Experiencing therapist, she may be able to refer you to a good CPTSD therapist in the area. She seems to be well-connected. She was working out of her home in Mt. Washington (northern Los Angeles), but I believe she moved or will be moving.
I saw her up until the COVID stay-at-home orders. She offered me Zoom sessions, but I chose to stick with my "talk" therapist. Besides the bodywork, Shel is very insightful and intuitive and knows a great deal about complex-ptsd.
