You don’t have to struggle in silence…
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health issue that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event, such as combat, a natural disaster, a car accident, or sexual assault, to name a few. Traumatic experiences can impact a person’s life and relationships, as well as cause difficulties at work, school, and in social settings.
According to the National Center for PTSD, about 6 of every 10 men and 5 of every 10 women experience at least one trauma in their lives.
Are you are experiencing recurrent, unwanted and distressing thoughts of a traumatic life event? Do you have severe emotional distress, physical reactions, upsetting dreams, nightmares or flashbacks of the experience? Perhaps you are not aware of how much a life event has impacted you. Perhaps you’ve disconnected as a way of protecting yourself. Perhaps the event happened to someone close to you. Post traumatic stress could help explain these symptoms for you.
Therapy for PTSD is tailored to the individual needs of each client and includes various types of therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Our goal is to empower our clients with the skills they need to take control of their lives and heal from past traumas. We understand the road to recovery is not easy and we will provide a supportive environment for our clients to achieve their goals.
