PTSD
Trauma-related symptoms including flashbacks, hypervigilance, and avoidance following a distressing event.
Overview
PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event such as violence, an accident, a natural disaster, or combat. Common symptoms include intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares, heightened arousal, emotional numbness, and avoidance behaviors.
Our Approach
A comprehensive evaluation that identifies your specific symptoms, underlying issues, and any co-occurring conditions — guiding a customized treatment plan while validating your experience and building therapeutic trust.
SSRIs are commonly prescribed to reduce anxiety, depression, and hyperarousal by balancing the brain neurotransmitters involved in mood and the trauma response.
We draw on evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches — including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR-informed techniques — to address flashbacks, anxiety, and emotional numbness at your own pace.
