Welcome to Irimiya Trauma Therapy

Comprehensive and holistic approach to healing by compassionate trauma therapists, for children, teens and adults affected by trauma.

"Guiding you from pain to possibility, with care and compassion.”

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.

Our Services

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.

Feeling alone, as if no one gets you or understands. Feeling as if the world is unreal sometimes, not feeling present and finding yourself checked-out or detached. Do you see yourself from up above or from a distance? Experiencing body memories, shaking or feeling as if you are in a trance. Struggling with flashbacks, nightmares and intrusive memories or thoughts of your trauma. Struggling with feeling sleepy, exhausted, tired or overwhelmed. Feeling guilt, shame, anger and sadness. Have mixed feelings about your trauma? Dealing with Depression and Anxiety. You are not alone, and you have found a place of safety where you can begin to heal. Reach out now. We are here to walk with you down this path.

Our Specialization

As a group practice specializing in sexual trauma, our therapists are deeply committed to supporting individuals who have experienced sexual abuse in reclaiming their sense of safety, self-worth, and emotional well-being. Sexual trauma can have a profound impact on every aspect of a person’s life, from their relationships to their sense of identity. We believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where survivors can heal at their own pace, rebuild trust in themselves, and regain control over their lives. We are here to hear your story, and guide you in healing from the emotional scars, and empower you to move forward with resilience and strength.
