Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event.
PTSD can cause a range of symptoms, including:
- Cognitive and mood symptoms: Difficulty remembering the traumatic event, negative thoughts, feelings of blame, ongoing negative emotions, loss of interest in activities, feelings of social isolation, and difficulty feeling positive emotions
- Avoidance: Trying to avoid people, places, or activities that remind you of the trauma, or avoiding talking about the experience
- Emotional numbing: Trying not to feel anything at all, which can lead to isolation and withdrawal
- Hyperarousal: Feeling "on edge", being very anxious, and finding it difficult to relax
- Physical sensations: Pain, sweating, feeling sick, or trembling
- Sleep disturbances: Insomnia or nightmares
- Heightened reactions: Irritable behavior, angry outbursts, reckless or self-destructive behavior, hypervigilance, or an exaggerated startle response
- Difficulty concentrating: Racing heartbeat, edginess, and agitation

Our Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Program includes a mixture of specialized treatments customized by a licensed therapist to help you on your path to recovery. Therapy can also be combined with medication management for a more comprehensive approach. Treatments are flexible and can be in person or via telehealth.
Our Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Program includes:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is an evidence based therapy focused on teaching you specific skills to improve your symptoms and gradually return to the activities you’ve avoided because of anxiety. This type of talk therapy helps you see the ways of thinking, also known as cognitive patterns, that are keeping you stuck.
- Exposure therapy is a psychological treatment that helps people face their fears and overcome anxiety disorders. It’s a type of behavior therapy that helps you safely face situations and memories that you find frightening so that you can learn to cope with them.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy technique that can help people heal from trauma and other distressing life experiences. It is a mental health treatment technique that involves moving your eyes a specific way while you process traumatic memories. EMDR’s goal is to help you heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. EMDR can help people process upsetting memories, thoughts, and feelings related to trauma. It can also help relieve PTSD symptoms and change how people think about themselves in relation to their memories.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) – evidence-based treatment focused on improving relationships to relieve mental health symptoms. IPT addresses current problems and relationships rather than childhood or developmental issues. Our licensed therapists are active, non-neutral, supportive and hopeful, and offer options for change.
