Counseling for PTSD
Have you experienced trauma that still affects your daily life? Do fear, anxiety, or emotional numbness seem to control your thoughts and behaviors? If so, you’re not alone—and healing is possible.

What Is PTSD?
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can result from experiencing or witnessing trauma such as violence, serious accidents, natural disasters, abuse, or combat. While often associated with veterans, PTSD affects people of all ages, backgrounds, and identities. Women are statistically twice as likely as men to experience PTSD.

Common Symptoms of PTSD:
  • Flashbacks or nightmares
  • Intrusive or distressing memories
  • Emotional numbness or detachment
  • Intense feelings of fear, anger, or sadness
  • Avoidance of reminders of the event
  • Heightened startle response or hypervigilance
Every person experiences PTSD differently, but all deserve compassion, understanding, and evidence-based support.

How Therapy Can Help
Effective treatments for PTSD support you in processing the trauma and restoring a sense of agency and safety. Commonly used approaches include:

 
  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Helps shift harmful beliefs and “stuck points” related to the trauma.
     
  • EMDR: Uses bilateral stimulation (often eye movements) to help the brain process unresolved memories and reduce distress.
     
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, helping to reduce anxiety and regain emotional balance.

If trauma is keeping you from living fully, therapy can help you reconnect with hope, self-trust, and a renewed sense of purpose. Reach out today for a free consultation—we’re here to support your healing journey.
