Trauma Treatment
Our 60-minute Initial Evaluation is a psychiatric assessment designed to understand you.
Trauma Treatment
Trauma is not just a memory of a difficult event; it is a lasting imprint on the nervous system that can affect emotions, relationships, sleep, physical health, and sense of safety long after the event has passed. Whether you are struggling with PTSD, complex trauma, childhood adversity, or emotional overwhelm, healing is possible. With the right treatment approach, the nervous system can regain stability, resilience, and a sense of safety. We provide a trauma-informed, evidence-based, and integrative approach to care that supports both psychological healing and biological regulation.
What Is Trauma?
Trauma occurs when an experience overwhelms the brain and body’s ability to process stress. This can result in persistent patterns of hyperarousal, emotional numbing, or dysregulation.
Common trauma-related symptoms include:
- Emotional & Cognitive Symptoms
- Intrusive memories or flashbacks
- Anxiety or chronic fear
- Emotional numbing or detachment
- Irritability or anger outbursts
- Negative beliefs about self or others
- Hypervigilance (feeling “on edge”)
- Sleep disturbances or nightmares
- Fatigue or shutdown states
- Somatic symptoms (tension, headaches, GI distress)
- Avoidance of reminders of trauma
- Difficulty in relationships or trust
- Emotional reactivity or shutdown
- Dissociation or feeling disconnected
When to Seek Trauma Treatment
- Consider professional support if you experience:
- Persistent anxiety, fear, or emotional overwhelm
- Nightmares, flashbacks, or intrusive memories
- Feeling “stuck” in survival mode
- Emotional numbness or disconnection
- Difficulty trusting or maintaining relationships
- Strong reactions to reminders of past experiences
