Treatment for PTSD
With evidence-based care, people with PTSD can reduce nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and hypervigilance. Many regain their sense of safety, rebuild relationships, and return to activities they've avoided.
PTSD is more than a bad memory
Post-traumatic stress disorder develops after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event. It affects sleep, concentration, relationships, and your ability to feel safe in everyday situations.
PTSD symptoms
Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder can appear immediately after the trauma or develop weeks or months later.
Intrusive memories: flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts about the trauma
Avoidance of places, people, or situations that remind you of the trauma
Negative mood changes: dfifficulty feeling positive emotions, emotional numbness, or loss of interest in activities
Hypervigilance and reactivity: exaggerated startle response, feeling on edge, difficulty concentrating, irritability or reckless behavior
Physical symptoms: rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, or other panic-like reactions triggered by reminders of the trauma
You don't have to manage this alone
Whether your trauma happened recently or years ago, whether you've tried treatment before or you're seeking care for the first time, we meet you where you are. Our goal is to help you feel safe again and move forward.
PTSD is treatable, and recovery is possible. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes.
Evidence-based PTSD treatment
Trauma-Focused Therapy
Therapies such as EMDR and CPT help your brain process the traumatic memory in a way that reduces its emotional intensity. You remain in control throughout the process.
Medication
Certain antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications can reduce intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and hypervigilance while you engage in therapy.
Combined Approach
Many people benefit from therapy and medication together. Treatment is tailored to your specific symptoms and response.
The PTSD treatment process
We start with a comprehensive assessment to understand your trauma history and current symptoms. From there, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include trauma-focused therapy, medication, or both. We monitor your progress closely and adjust as needed.
Learning your trauma history
We conduct a detailed clinical interview to understand what happened, how it's affecting you, and what your goals are for treatment. Many find being heard by someone trained in trauma care is a meaningful first step.
Developing your care plan
Based on your assessment, we create a treatment tailored to you.
This might include trauma-focused therapy such as EMDR or CPT, medication to reduce anxiety and intrusive thoughts, or a combination approach.
We explain everything clearly so you understand what to expect.
Ongoing monitoring and adjusting
We check in regularly to monitor your recovery and adjust treatment if needed.
Healing isn't always linear, but with the right support, most people see significant improvement.
Regain your peace.
PTSD is treatable, and recovery is possible.
