After a workplace injury or traumatic event on the job, many federal workers carry memories that keep surfacing at unexpected moments.

It is exhausting, and you deserve real relief.

In-Person and Telehealth
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
Key Benefits of PTSD Therapy
You may notice fewer intrusive memories and a quieter sense of calm in your body. Many patients sleep better, feel less guarded around others, and start enjoying small moments again.
As the emotional weight lightens, you often regain energy for your physical healing and daily responsibilities. Over time, this support helps you feel more in control of your story and better prepared for whatever comes next in your federal career or life outside work.
Who is a Good Candidate for PTSD Therapy?
You may be ready for this support if a workplace event or injury left you with ongoing reactions that make everyday life harder. Perhaps certain sounds, situations, or even thoughts about returning to duty trigger strong responses. Or you might feel detached from family and coworkers, or struggle with a constant sense of unease.
Federal employees from many agencies come to us when they want trauma-informed care that respects both their personal experience and the realities of the OWCP system. If you are looking for a team that truly gets the federal worker journey, we welcome you here.
Why Choose Dynamic Health Complete Care for PTSD Therapy?
Our practice stands out because we specialize in caring for injured federal workers every single day. We know the unique layers that come with trauma in a federal workplace: the high-stakes environment, the pressure of documentation, the uncertainty of claims and return-to-work plans. Most general providers simply do not have this depth of experience.
We are fully experienced with OWCP requirements and provide clear, thoughtful documentation that helps your claim move forward. Case managers handle much of the coordination so you can focus on healing instead of paperwork.
You can choose comfortable in-person sessions in Charlotte or secure telehealth from anywhere in North Carolina. This flexibility means consistent care even when energy or travel feels limited. Patients often tell us they finally feel understood here, like they are being cared for by people who genuinely want to see them thrive again.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does PTSD show up after a federal workplace injury?
It can appear as heightened alertness, emotional distance, trouble sleeping, or strong reactions to reminders of the event. We help you understand your specific experience and address it with care.
Can PTSD therapy be part of my OWCP claim?
Yes. We are OWCP-certified and provide the necessary documentation to support approval when the trauma connects to your accepted work injury.
Will I have to talk about the trauma right away?
No. We move at your pace and focus first on helping you feel safe and stable before exploring deeper memories.
Is medication an option with PTSD therapy?
When it fits your needs, Dr. Fitzgerald or our nurse practitioner can discuss medication support alongside therapy in a collaborative, thoughtful way.
How does telehealth work for trauma therapy?
Our secure telehealth platform works very well for PTSD support. Many patients across North Carolina find it convenient and just as effective, especially during recovery.
What if I also have physical pain from the same injury?
We often address the connection between trauma and physical symptoms, so your care supports healing on both levels.
How long might therapy take?
It varies for each person. Some notice relief sooner, while others benefit from several months as they rebuild confidence and prepare for next steps. We never rush you.
Is it okay to seek help even if the event happened months ago?
Absolutely. There is no time limit on healing. Many federal workers reach out when they realize the impact is still affecting their daily life and work.
Do I need a referral to start?
You can contact us directly. Our case managers will walk you through the easy next steps and answer any OWCP questions.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your first visit is gentle and unhurried. We listen carefully to your experience and what brought you here, then work with you to shape a plan that feels right. Early sessions often focus on building safety and teaching simple ways to help your nervous system settle when memories or reactions arise.
As trust grows, we gently guide you through processing the trauma in ways that reduce its hold. You learn tools to respond differently when old feelings surface and strategies to rebuild connections with yourself and others. We adjust everything along the way, so the work stays supportive and effective for you.
Sessions feel like honest conversations with people who respect your strength and your story. We stay in touch with your other OWCP providers when it benefits your care. Most patients begin noticing meaningful shifts within weeks, with deeper healing unfolding as they continue.
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.
