Trauma and Beyond Center

What Trauma and Beyond Center does

Trauma and Beyond Center is a privately held, for-profit mental health treatment center founded in 2018 and headquartered in Sherman Oaks, California, operating from a single physical facility at 14156 Magnolia Blvd. Suite 101. The company provides a three-tier continuum of trauma-focused care: Partial Hospitalization (PHP, 5 days/week, 4–6 hours/day), Intensive Outpatient (IOP, 3–5 days/week, 3+ hours/day), and Outpatient Psychotherapy (1–3 sessions/week), supplemented by group therapy, supportive living referrals, and HIPAA-compliant statewide California telehealth. Its clinical methodology integrates top-down modalities (CBT, psychodynamic) with bottom-up somatic approaches (EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, NARM, TRM, Art Therapy), and the founders have authored the 'Intergenerational Trauma Workbook' as a branded clinical resource.

The center is led by Co-Founders/Co-CEOs Dr. Joanne Barron, PsyD and Dr. Lynne Friedman-Gell, PhD, alongside a Medical Director (Dr. Bruce Steinberg, MD, 40+ years experience), a Clinical Director for IOP/PHP (Dr. Nicole Karman Gilbert, PhD), a National Director of Business Development, a Program Manager, and a Client Care Coordinator, supported by a wider team of 11–50 employees. It generates revenue through clinical service fees billed to PPO insurance and self-pay clients, with intake driven by free phone consultations, an SEO-optimized website, professional education webinars (with CEUs), conference presentations, and a referral network that includes Clearview Treatment Programs, The Krevoy Institute for Eating Disorders, MUSICARES, and Cedars-Sinai-affiliated psychiatrists.

Its IOP and PHP programs hold Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval accreditation (awarded January 2021) and LegitScript verification, and the business operates under the registered trademark 'Trauma and Beyond Psychological Center®.' The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or parent organization; geographic reach is currently limited to in-person services in Los Angeles and telehealth within California.
