¿Te sientes estresada, atrapado; que tu vida está desbalanceada o pasando a travez de una crisis? ¿ Estás cansada/o que los demás no te vean tal cual como eres? El proceso de cambio a veces produce confusión, miedo, e inestabilidad en nuestras vidas. No tienes que acerlo solo/a. La terapia puede ayudarte a sentirte apoyada/o, encontrar claridad y tener más opciones en tus decisiones. Traumas, en particular, pueden afectarnos en formas muy profundas atrapandonos en un ciclo de angustia, ira, o terror hasta el punto de hacernos perder contror de nuestra vida. Sin embargo, todo eso puede cambiar con terapia especializada.

Has estado posponiendo la terapia durante meses, pero es un año nuevo y estás decidido a mejorar tu bienestar emocional. Tal vez estás en un momento de tu vida donde sientes insatisfacción o frustración porque muchas cosas no están funcionando como te gustaría. Es posible que hayas experimentado un gran contratiempo o evento traumático que cambio tu vida. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los que te rodean piensan que eres exitoso, ambicioso, y confiable. Pero en tu interior nunca te sientes satisfecho contigo mismo, y la voz en tu mente no para de recordarte de todas las maneras en las que estás fracasando.

La psicoterapia psicoanalítica es una manera de entender los conflictos y crear significado por medio del auto-conocimiento. Este tipo de tratamiento apunta a entender la forma de pensar, comportarse y relacionarse con los demás de la cual muchas veces no se está consciente, lo cual con frecuencia resulta en patrones de comportamiento repetitivos que llevan a la insatisfacción y el sufrimiento emocional. En mi práctica me esfuerzo por proveer un ambiente seguro y sin juicios, que ayuda a desarrollar la curiosidad sobre el mundo interno respetando las experiencias, valores y creencias de cada persona.

Being vulnerable, feeling safe, laughing, and pushing past the distress are just a few of the moments that are shared in the therapeutic relationship journey. I often work with individuals, children, families and couples who feel lost and hopeless after experiencing trauma or feeling stuck by perpetuating issues. At times, experiences that we go through may also lead to anxiety, depression, and feeling lost for how to move forward. I work with individuals to help identify ways to have these "rocks" removed and develop plans that could be accessed outside of our therapy sessions.

I believe in emotional health. Having emotions is as natural as your appetite, and that having emotional difficulties is as human as experiencing hunger; Processing our emotions in therapy is as necessary as any other visit to a doctor: either for a check-up, when there are initial symptoms, or once the problem has already manifested and is making our life somehow dysfunctional. I avoid labels or focusing on pathology; instead, I concentrate on helping my clients to overcome the doubts, difficulties, or challenges that get in the way of a calm, stable, and fulfilling life.

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.
