Trauma/PTSD

Seeking therapy for trauma and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is a crucial step towards healing and recovery. Therapy provides a safe and supportive environment to process these experiences and develop coping strategies.

Key benefits of therapy for trauma and PTSD include:

• Understanding and processing trauma: Therapists help individuals make sense of their traumatic experiences and how they impact their current behavior and emotions.
• Developing coping mechanisms: Therapy equips individuals with tools to manage symptoms like anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness.
• Rebuilding a sense of safety: Through therapeutic techniques, individuals can work towards feeling safe and secure in their environment again.
• Improving relationships: Trauma can strain relationships; therapy can help rebuild trust and improve communication with loved ones.
• Enhancing overall well-being: Addressing trauma can lead to improved mental health, increased resilience, and a better quality of life.

My approach to treatment for trauma and PTSD is evidence-informed. Depending on the needs of the individual, therapy can range from a flexible CBT framework to manualized Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based treatment for PTSD. We're all different, so the key is incorporate an evidence-informed approach tailored to you.
