Heal & Rebuild
A Positive Outlook
The effects of trauma can manifest in many ways, including anxiety, depression, fear, and difficulty forming or maintaining relationships. Without addressing the impact of trauma, individuals may continue to suffer needlessly from ongoing symptoms, difficulty in relationships, and a reduced quality of life.
Therapy offers individuals the opportunity to heal from trauma by discovering the tools and coping strategies necessary to regain a sense of safety, trust, and control in a safe, structured environment.
Trauma therapy helps clients objectively view the impact of trauma on their thoughts, behaviors, and physical health. The goal is not to erase the trauma, but to integrate it into their life story in a way that reduces its negative impact.

For PTSD
Why Treatment For PTSD Is Essential:
Anyone who has experienced trauma can feel the effects of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. Although it is often associated with combat-related experiences, PTSD can also result from other traumatic situations such as accidents, natural disasters, or loss.
Common symptoms of PTSD include:
-
Flashbacks or intrusive memories of the traumatic event
-
Nightmares or trouble sleeping
-
Hypervigilance (feeling constantly on edge or easily startled)
-
Avoidance of reminders of the trauma (places, people, activities)
-
Emotional numbness or difficulty experiencing positive emotions
-
Irritability, anger, or difficulty controlling emotions
-
Difficulty concentrating or memory problems
-
Feelings of guilt or shame related to the traumatic experience
PTSD Therapy For
Military Service Members
Military service members often face unique stressors that increase their risk of developing PTSD, including combat exposure, long deployments, and the challenges of reintegrating into civilian life. The effects of PTSD can impact many areas of life, including relationships, work, and emotional well-being.
However, with the right therapeutic support, service members can manage their PTSD symptoms, heal from the past, and build a stronger future.

The Benefits Of PTSD Therapy
For Military Service Members
Processing Trauma
One of the primary goals of PTSD therapy is to help individuals process their traumatic experiences in a safe and supportive way. In therapy, you will be encouraged to confront painful memories and emotions related to the trauma, which is the first step in healing. This process helps individuals reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories and integrate them in a healthier way.
Cognitive Restructuring
Service members with PTSD often develop unhealthy beliefs about themselves or the world, such as feelings of guilt, shame, or mistrust. In therapy, these distorted thoughts are examined, challenged, and replaced with healthier, more realistic beliefs.
Improving Relationships
PTSD can take a toll on relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners. The isolation, irritability, and emotional numbness associated with PTSD can create significant barriers to meaningful connections. Therapy helps service members explore the impact of PTSD on their relationships and work on rebuilding trust, communication, and intimacy. Couples or family therapy may also be an option to address the effects of PTSD on family dynamics.
Reducing Symptoms of Hyperarousal
Service members with PTSD often experience hyperarousal symptoms, such as being easily startled, feeling “on edge,” or having difficulty relaxing. Therapy can help individuals develop tools to calm their nervous system, reduce anxiety, and manage these hypervigilant states. Techniques like mindfulness, grounding exercises, and relaxation strategies can be effective in reducing physical and emotional tension.
Building Coping Strategies
Therapy provides a range of tools to manage the emotional and physical effects of PTSD. Service members may struggle with anger, irritability, or withdrawal. A therapist helps individuals develop healthy coping strategies to manage these emotions and improve overall well-being. These strategies can include stress management techniques, emotional regulation skills, and developing a support network.
Enhancing Self-Esteem
& Empowerment
PTSD can lead to feelings of helplessness and low self-worth. Therapy helps individuals regain a sense of control, empowerment, and hope for the future. By acknowledging their strengths, understanding their challenges, and working through trauma, service members can rebuild confidence and feel more in control of their lives.
