Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. PTSD may cause intense feelings of fear, anger, and anxiety, as well as physical symptoms like headaches and trouble sleeping. We designed our PTSD treatment in Phoenix & Scottsdale to help you manage these symptoms and regain control over your life.
Signs and Symptoms of PTSD
Recognizing the signs of PTSD is crucial for seeking the right treatment. Common symptoms include:
Intrusive Memories
Flashbacks, nightmares, or distressing memories of the traumatic event.
Avoidance
Steering clear of places, people, or activities that remind you of the trauma
Negative Changes in Thinking and Mood
Feeling hopeless, detached, or having trouble feeling positive emotions
Heightened Arousal
Being easily startled, feeling tense, or having difficulty sleeping.
Re-experiencing Symptoms
Relive the trauma in your mind repeatedly.
Our Trauma Recovery program offers comprehensive support to help you heal from the effects of trauma. We provide PTSD therapy that includes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and other evidence-based treatments. These therapies help you process the trauma and reduce its impact on your daily life.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a proven method for treating PTSD. It helps you recognize and change the negative thought patterns that are contributing to your distress. Our PTSD therapy in Phoenix & Scottsdale uses CBT to help you reframe your thoughts and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Exposure Therapy involves gradually facing the memories, feelings, and situations you have been avoiding. By confronting these fears in a safe and controlled environment, you can begin to reduce their power over you. Our therapists in Phoenix & Scottsdale use exposure therapy skillfully to help you move past your trauma.
In some cases, medication may be an essential part of your PTSD treatment. Our psychiatrists work with you to find the right medication and dosage to help manage your symptoms. The treatment plan integrates medication management to ensure the best possible outcomes.
