Understanding PTSD: It’s More Common Than You Think

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) affects millions of people each year—not just veterans. It can develop after any distressing event, such as emotional abuse, sexual assault, car accidents, medical trauma, or sudden loss. If you’ve experienced flashbacks, nightmares, irritability, or emotional numbness, you may be living with PTSD.

Trauma can leave a lasting imprint on the nervous system, making everyday life feel unsafe or overwhelming. You may avoid certain places or people, struggle with hypervigilance, or feel disconnected from others and yourself.

Therapy offers a path forward. Evidence-based treatments like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and trauma-focused CBT are highly effective for PTSD. These approaches help reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge.

We offer both in-person and virtual therapy to make support as accessible as possible. Whether you're beginning your healing journey or have been managing symptoms for years, you deserve a space to feel safe and seen. Recovery is not only possible—it’s within reach.
