Depression and Anxiety Disorders, Bipolar, Disruptive, Impulse-Control, and Conduct Disorders, Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders, and Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders.
I offer therapy for children, adolescent teens, and adults who suffer from a manifestation of psychological issues. These issues may include anxiety, depression, PTSD, personality disorders, disruptive, impulse-control, conduct disorders, and substance abuse issues. Psychological issues are difficult for individuals to surmount independently; therefore, with education and specialized therapy services, these individuals can not only learn how to develop coping mechanisms, but learn how to implement them. The Cognitive Behavioral Theory Approach is implemented with clients because it focuses on how an individual thinks can change feelings, behaviors, and distorted thinking patterns. The Client Centered and Existential Theory Approach are also implemented in therapy.

Does any of this sound familiar? Life weighs you down so much that hope is a thing of the past. Activities that you enjoyed a few short years ago now are meaningless and uninteresting. Depression is the ruler of your life and decisions, and you do not even recognize the person in the mirror. Your relationships with family and friends have hit rock bottom. As a parent, especially, this brings immense amounts of guilt because you can’t be as present as you feel you should.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists

When should I seek treatment for trauma?

Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.

How long does trauma therapy take?

Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.

What happens if trauma is left untreated?

Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.

Can PTSD come back after treatment?

It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
