Understanding PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may include intrusive memories, nightmares, heightened alertness, emotional numbness, or avoiding reminders of the trauma. Healing is possible, and therapy can help you process difficult experiences while restoring a greater sense of safety and stability.

The Therapeutic Process for PTSD Care

Comprehensive Initial Assessment

Before your first visit, your therapist will reach out to you to arrange a consultation over the phone to conduct an initial assessment. This helps establish a connection with your therapist, as well as formulate treatment goals, so your initial session and ongoing therapy are as successful as possible.

A Holistic Client-Centered Approach

We believe every client is unique and has a personal story and set of experiences that bring them to therapy. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we look at you as a whole person, taking into account your history, cultural background, family of origin, and the life experiences that have shaped who you are. We then create a client-centered, personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, ensuring your care reflects who you are and where you are in this stage of your life.

“Patrick saved my marriage. First session in, he was able to connect with my husband — someone who says maybe 10 words a day. I’ve seen therapists since I was 16, and he is hands down one of THE best.”
