Trauma & PTSD

Trauma can affect individuals in many different ways. Some common reactions to trauma experiences include the following:

• Avoidance of people and places
• Depression
• Difficulty trusting others and/or maintaining relationships
• Feelings of guilt and shame
• Heightened anxiety and hypervigilance
• Increased substance use
• Low self-worth
• Mood changes
• Persistent, unwanted thoughts
• Physical re-experiencing of trauma memories
• Sleeping difficulties

Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD is a trauma-informed and evidence-based treatment. We provide a safe and compassionate environment to explore trauma memories and allow space for healing. Clients can expect to feel safe and validated while processing their trauma and exploring how their experiences have impacted their emotional, social, physical, and behavioral well-being. Together we will gain insight into your experience and its impact, process your emotions, and learn coping skills for you to use outside of therapy. Whether you have experienced trauma recently or very in early childhood, there is hope for a satisfying life.
