Trauma and PTSD
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder may occur in people who experienced or witnessed a traumatic event or a series of events.
PTSD affects your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Women are twice as likely as men to experience PTSD, and at least one in 11 adults in the U.S. will be prone to or be diagnosed with PTSD in their life.
People with PTSD problems experience intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings about the traumatic event they experienced.
PTSD may cause people to experience flashbacks, nightmares, sadness, fear, anger, and feelings of detachment from others.
We provide trauma-focused treatment for PTSD.
Research has proven that treatments incorporating cognitive skill-building are effective for treating PTSD.
The most important treatment for PTSD is psychotherapy; treatments that combine psychotherapy and medication are also very effective.
