"release old wounds, awaken your body and embrace the present”

It's time to obtain control in your life again

Established in the beautiful city of Ventura, CA, Irimiya Trauma Therapy provides a trauma-focused approach to individuals impacted by traumatic experiences. We are a group practice that specializes in working with survivors of Sexual Trauma, individuals living with Dissociative Disorders and struggling with Complex-PTSD, all which commonly intertwine with Depression, Anxiety and Relationship Issues. As a trauma-sensitive group practice, we strive to maintain a safe place for individuals who struggle with daily challenges of feeling safe, heard and seen.

Our goal at Irimiya is to create a safe space for clients to process through their trauma. We strive to provide an authentic, casual and compassionate environment that can allow clients to engage in deep trauma work and to clear out the core wounds of the pain that has manifested into the symptoms experienced in the body.

Irimiya utilizes a holistic therapeutic approach to healing. We encourage clients to engage in a journey to embrace an experience as a whole person, encompassing the mind, body and soul in your therapeutic healing. Utilizing a holistic approach provides an opportunity for one to focus on the mind: the impact of our thoughts influencing our perceptions, the body: unresolved trauma living in the body and soul: our intuition, spirituality and the core of each individual’s uniqueness.

You have survived more than most people will ever understand.

You can stop surviving - and start living. it’s time to feel safe and we are here to help you.

Our Approach to Healing

We integrate evidence-based somatic therapies and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to support the body and mind in moving through the lingering impact of trauma. These approaches help individuals reconnect with a sense of safety, release stored tension, and process painful memories in a way that feels manageable and empowering. Somatic practices allow clients to gently notice how trauma lives in the body, while EMDR provides a structured method for reprocessing distressing experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity. Together, these methods create a holistic path toward healing—one that honors the body’s natural capacity for resilience and helps restore a deeper sense of calm, connection, and well-being.

We Believe You.

You Are Not Alone in this journey.

Do you sometimes feel completely alone, as if no one truly understands what you’ve been through? Maybe the world around you feels distant or surreal—like you’re disconnected, just watching life happen from the outside.

You might find yourself emotionally checked out, struggling to stay present. Perhaps you experience body memories, shaking, or feeling like you're in a trance. Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts may show up uninvited, pulling you back into the past.

The weight of trauma can be exhausting—physically, mentally, and emotionally. You may feel tired all the time, overwhelmed by even simple tasks. You might be carrying feelings of guilt, shame, anger, sadness—or feel unsure how you’re “supposed” to feel at all.

If you’re living with anxiety, depression, or deep emotional pain, please know: you are not broken—and you are not alone.

You’ve found a place where healing is possible. This is a space of safety, compassion, and support—where your story matters and your pain is met with care.

We’re here to walk beside you as you begin to heal.

Reach out today. Let’s take the first step together.
