Therapy for PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops after exposure to a traumatic event and can manifest as intrusive memories, nightmares, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, and avoidance of trauma-related reminders. Left untreated, PTSD erodes quality of life, relationships, and wellbeing. Our trauma-specialized therapists use the most rigorously validated treatments for PTSD, delivered through secure video telehealth across California, Florida, and New York.
Signs Therapy May Help Your PTSD
You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. If you recognize these patterns, it may be time to connect with a specialist.
- Intrusive flashbacks or nightmares about the traumatic event
- Intense psychological or physical distress when reminded of the trauma
- Avoidance of thoughts, feelings, people, or places associated with the event
- Persistent negative beliefs about yourself or the world
- Hypervigilance, exaggerated startle response, or sleep disturbance
- Emotional numbing, detachment, or loss of interest in activities
Our Approach
How We Treat PTSD
Our therapists are trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) — the two treatments with the strongest evidence base for PTSD. CPT targets the stuck points and unhelpful beliefs about the trauma, while EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain process and reintegrate traumatic memories. We also offer Prolonged Exposure (PE) for patients who are appropriate candidates.
Modalities Used
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Prolonged Exposure (PE)
- Trauma-informed CBT
- Safety planning and crisis management
