Trauma and PTSD

Have you experienced a traumatic event that continues to cause you fear, helplessness and other distressing symptoms? You're not alone. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a treatable condition, and we can help you find relief.

What is Trauma and PTSD?

Trauma can be a life-threatening or deeply disturbing event that leaves you feeling unsafe or helpless. PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event.

Symptoms of PTSD:

  • Flashbacks or intrusive memories of the event
  • Nightmares
  • Avoidance of reminders of the event
  • Negative thoughts or feelings about yourself or the world

  • Difficulty sleeping or concentrating.
