Abe Gurko

When Abe Gurko packed his bags and moved from New York City to Hollywood, he wasn't leaving a career in the fashion industry to chase the usual dream of becoming a movie star. "I wanted to be a mechanic to the machine called celebrity," Abe said. "I wanted to know how it worked." Over the next few years, he developed his skills as a behind-the-scenes creative force by working on a couple of daily variety-talk shows and worked for several years with arguably the coolest woman in Hollywood, Carrie Fisher. There, he acquired an intimate knowledge of the entertainment industry.
He is the Author of memoir, WON'T BE SILENT-- DON’T STOP ’TIL IT MATTERS. The novel is a candid and humorous retelling of an unconventional life, finally worth living. Abe's madcap journey through seemingly endless obstacles is an insightful story of survival with grace, unshakeable resilience, teachable hullabaloos and found joy.

Jamie Vollmoeller Trauma Therapist

I help individuals who have experienced trauma reclaim their lives. Trauma can take many forms, whether it be witnessing/experiencing domestic violence, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, community violence, or the tragic loss of a loved one- to name a few. For many, the result is flashbacks, nightmares, dissociation, irritability, low self-esteem, and feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you. My clients have seen and been through some serious stuff. Despite being determined, caring, and hard-working, they feel like they cannot get back to life before what happened- well, happened. 

My primary focus has been treating children, teens, and adults who have experienced trauma in their lives. I find EMDR to be a very effective method for helping my clients work through their past so they can truly be in the present. I strive to create an individual plan to help you confront your fears, ease your sadness, and create and reach new goals.
