About PTSD & Trauma Treatment
What is PTSD?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. While many people experience stress after a trauma, PTSD occurs when symptoms persist for months or even years, interfering with daily life, work, and relationships.
Common Causes of PTSD
- Physical or sexual assault
- Military combat
- Car accidents
- Childhood abuse or neglect
- Domestic violence
- Natural disasters
- Medical trauma or life threatening illness
Symptoms of PTSD
PTSD symptoms fall into four main categories, though every person’s experience is unique:
Intrusive Symptoms
Flashbacks, nightmares, and distressing memories triggered by sights, sounds, or places can resurface trauma.
Avoidance Symptoms
Avoiding triggers, feeling emotionally numb, and withdrawing from loved ones are common trauma responses.
Negative Mood & Cognitive Symptoms
Persistent negative thoughts, guilt, and loss of interest can make it hard to feel joy or connection.
Hyperarousal Symptoms
Feeling constantly on edge, irritable, or struggling with sleep and focus can disrupt daily life.
Evidence Based PTSD Treatments
Our treatment plans use a combination of scientifically proven therapies, including:
Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
This evidence based approach helps you understand how trauma has shaped your thoughts and beliefs, teaching you new ways to process traumatic memories and reduce distress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
A leading treatment for trauma, EMDR helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing the emotional intensity and distress associated with those experiences.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
CPT helps individuals reframe negative thoughts and beliefs stemming from trauma, replacing them with healthier, more balanced perspectives.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE)
This structured approach gradually helps clients face trauma related triggers in a safe, supportive environment, reducing avoidance and emotional distress over time.
