Healing from Trauma

Comprehensive Care for PTSD and Trauma-Related Disorders

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event. Symptoms include intrusive memories, nightmares, hypervigilance, avoidance of triggers, and emotional numbing. Trauma doesn't have to define your future.

We provide trauma-informed supportive therapy, grounding techniques, and evidence-based approaches (including elements of CPT and PE). Medication can also help manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. Our pace is gentle, safe, and always under your control.

What Our PTSD & Trauma Care Includes

  • Trauma-informed assessment to understand your unique experiences and symptoms
  • Supportive therapy focused on safety, grounding, and coping with triggers
  • Techniques to reduce hypervigilance, nightmares, and flashbacks
  • Medication management for PTSD-related anxiety, depression, or sleep problems (SSRIs, prazosin for nightmares, etc.)
  • Gradual, gentle processing of traumatic memories when you're ready
