Board Certified PMHNP & Mental Health Expert: Bridging Psychiatry, Psychology, and Real-Life Dynamics (Relationships, ADHD, Crisis Care). With over 14 years of clinical experience, I bring a rare dual perspective to mental health coverage: the diagnostic precision of a medical professional combined with the empathetic, human-centric approach of a psychologist. My practice is not just about treating symptoms; it is about decoding the human behaviors behind them. ​Covering the full lifespan—from 5-year-olds to geriatric patients—I am able to speak authoritatively on family dynamics at every stage of life. CORE EXPERTISE FOR MEDIA: ​1. Interpersonal Relationships & Couples Dynamics: My work focuses on the psychology of connection. I provide insights on conflict resolution, "mixed-neurotype" couples (e.g., ADHD partners), and navigating modern family stressors. The goal is to explain why people fight, rather than simply medicating the anxiety it causes. ​2. ADHD & Neurodivergence (Lived Experience): My perspective on neurodivergence is grounded in deep personal reality, not just clinical theory. As the sole legal guardian and caretaker of a blind uncle with profound autism, I understand caretaking and sensory processing from the inside out. This allows me to discuss how executive dysfunction truly affects careers, marriages, and self-esteem. ​3. The "Human Approach" to Mental Health: Building rapport with anyone—from non-verbal patients to high-functioning executives—is the cornerstone of my method. I can discuss the art of overcoming resistance to therapy and de-stigmatizing mental health in conservative cultures. ​4. Clinical Authority: ​Frontline Experience: Currently serving on staff at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center (Psychiatric ER & Inpatient), dealing with acute crisis stabilization. ​Industry Thought Leadership: Selected by a major pharmaceutical company to consult on a breakthrough treatment for Postpartum Depression. ​Multicultural Perspective: Fluent in English, Russian, and Farsi, offering unique insights into immigrant mental health.

Seema Sharma, SEP, LMFT, PhD is one of the most distinctively credentialed trauma clinicians working today — a former Fortune 500 executive turned trauma therapist, researcher, and founder whose career spans the neuroscience of healing, the psychology of high achievement, and the lived complexity of BIPOC identity in America. Seema is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist, Gottman Level 3-trained couples therapist, and holds a doctorate in Psychology. She holds an MBA, a Master's in Counseling Psychology, and has trained directly under field-defining voices including Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing), Gabor Maté (Compassionate Inquiry), and Dan Siegel (Interpersonal Neurobiology). Before entering clinical practice, Seema spent over 25 years in senior leadership across Fortune 500 companies, global organizations, and startups — leading international teams, navigating high-stakes corporate environments, and experiencing firsthand the invisible toll that sustained performance pressure places on the nervous system. That rare dual fluency — in both boardroom dynamics and trauma neuroscience — makes her an exceptionally credible and sought-after expert for journalists, editors, and producers covering the intersection of mental health and the modern workplace. As Founder of Holistic Trauma Therapy (Pasadena, Newport Beach, and Claremont, CA), Seema specializes in complex PTSD, developmental and childhood trauma, attachment wounds, religious and organizational abuse, sexual trauma, corporate burnout, and the mental health of high-achieving professionals. Her approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy — integrating Somatic Experiencing, Holistic EMDR, depth psychology, IFS, sensorimotor therapy, energy psychology, and transpersonal healing to address trauma as it lives in the body, not just the mind. Seema is one of the few trauma experts in the country who can speak credibly to how unprocessed trauma manifests in leadership behavior, executive dysfunction, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and high-functioning anxiety. She also holds deep clinical expertise in Asian-American mental health — including intergenerational trauma, cultural shame, the immigrant experience, and the identity pressures facing first- and second-generation Asian-Americans navigating Western professional culture. She has been featured in Canvas Rebel, Voyage LA, and Good, presents at conferences, and publishes countless research studies on trauma accessible via ResearchGate. She is a professor, board member, and lifelong student of holistic healing across traditions — having traveled globally to study indigenous, Eastern, African, and Latin healing practices alongside Western clinical models. Seema is available to comment on: trauma and the nervous system, somatic therapy, EMDR, complex PTSD, executive mental health and burnout, the psychology of high achievement, perfectionism and high-functioning anxiety, workplace trauma and organizational abuse, religious trauma, sexual trauma and healing, psychedelic integration, Asian-American mental health, intergenerational trauma, consciousness and the neuroscience of healing, and loneliness as a clinical phenomenon.
