Trauma-Focused Therapy:
Overcoming the Effects of PTSD

Traumatic events are not uncommon.

Often, we fail to recognize a traumatic event as having had an impact on us.

Do you struggle with sleep disturbances, anxiety, or depression?

You are not alone. Millions of people in America have gone through traumatic events, and the after-effects can be devastating.

At our therapy sessions, we specialize in trauma-focused therapy for adults. Our goal is to help you overcome the symptoms of PTSD and live a more fulfilling life. Here’s what you need to know.

Prolonged Exposure Therapy: Facing Your Fears

Depending on the trauma you experienced, you may benefit from prolonged exposure therapy. During this treatment, we will help you face the emotions surrounding your fears. By examining your feelings, you can become less sensitive to them.

Prolonged exposure therapy takes place over several sessions, and we’ll discuss your trauma’s details. Our goal is to help you better cope when memories of the trauma arise.

Written Exposure Therapy: Writing Your Way to Recovery

Writing about your trauma can also help you effectively process the details that cause your PTSD symptoms. We often use Written Exposure Therapy as a supplement to other therapies. The best part? It usually does not involve homework, and sessions can vary in length.

During our sessions, I may guide you in your writing, or you may write for a while, then discuss your writing with me. Virtual counseling sessions with Written Exposure Therapy have proven to be a success.

CBT Therapy: Change Your Thoughts to Change Your Behaviors

Trauma-focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adults is often used and combined with other treatments.

CBT works by helping you change how you think about the traumatic events in your life. We believe that your thoughts influence how you feel, and your feelings affect how you act and react. Changing your thoughts can ultimately change your behaviors.

CBT can include many treatments to supplement and enhance your recovery, such as prolonged and written exposure therapy. You can even have family members during some of your trauma-focused CBT sessions. They can benefit from the therapy and learn how to support you in your recovery.

Don’t suffer from PTSD alone.

At our therapy sessions, we’re committed to helping you overcome PTSD with support and guidance. With trauma-focused therapy, you can experience positive outcomes, such as improved relationships with loved ones and a more fulfilling life.
