Serving Pasadena and Surrounding Communities | Free 15-Minute Consultation | Sessions in English, Russian, and Armenian

If you’re living with the lingering effects of trauma, flashbacks, anxiety, emotional numbness, or constant tension, you are not alone. I know how exhausting it can be to carry invisible pain while trying to show up for life, work, and relationships. It might feel like no one sees how much effort it takes just to get through the day.

Whether you’re experiencing PTSD, unresolved childhood trauma, or trauma from recent events, I’m here to walk with you at your pace. I offer trauma therapy in Pasadena, CA, with support available for Cigna-insured clients. Together, we can begin the process of healing, gently, safely, and with care.

Hi, I’m Anna Parfyonova, LMFT

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist with a passion for helping adults navigate trauma and PTSD. My approach is compassionate, skill-focused, and collaborative. That means I don’t come in with a fix-it mindset—I come in to walk alongside you, providing tools and support to help you reconnect with your strength, your voice, and your sense of safety.

In therapy with me, we go at your pace. I’ll never push you into sharing more than you’re ready for. Whether you prefer to focus on building coping skills, gently process painful memories, or just have a space to be heard without judgment, I’ll meet you where you are. My practice is inclusive and trauma-informed, and I offer sessions in English, Russian, and Armenian.

Common Struggles You Might Be Facing

If you’re here, you may be:

• Constantly on edge, feeling like danger is just around the corner
• Battling intrusive memories that pop up at the worst times
• Avoiding people, places, or situations that remind you of what happened
• Struggling with emotional numbness or disconnection
• Overwhelmed by anxiety or panic
• Tired of being told to “move on” when healing feels anything but simple

I specialize in working with clients dealing with trauma and PTSD. If you’re looking for PTSD therapy covered by Cigna in Pasadena CA, I provide accessible care that meets you with both clinical expertise and heartfelt support.

What Therapy Looks Like

In our sessions, you can expect a steady, grounded presence and a clear plan tailored to your needs. I use evidence-based methods like:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma healing
• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to manage negative thought patterns
• Somatic approaches that help reconnect the body and mind
• Mindfulness-based tools for in-the-moment regulation

Whether we’re working through specific memories or simply learning how to feel safe again, therapy is your space to slow down and heal. We’ll build coping strategies to manage triggers and emotions, process trauma gently, and nurture a deeper sense of connection with yourself and others.

How Trauma Therapy Can Help You

Healing from trauma doesn’t mean forgetting; it means learning how to live fully again without being ruled by pain. Clients I work with often begin to experience:

• Better sleep and reduced anxiety
• Increased emotional regulation
• A deeper sense of peace and safety
• Stronger boundaries and healthier relationships
• A renewed connection to their identity and inner strength

And if you’re navigating this path in Pasadena or nearby, know that support is available, especially if you’re seeking Cigna-covered trauma therapy sessions.
