PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Have you experienced a traumatic event that still affects your thoughts, emotions, or daily life? You may be living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD is a mental health condition that occurs after trauma — such as abuse, assault, accidents, combat, or loss. While it’s normal to feel shaken after trauma, PTSD occurs when those feelings persist and interfere with your ability to live, work, or feel safe.
It’s not a sign of weakness. It’s your brain’s way of protecting you — but it can be rewired with the right support.
Heal from Trauma. Reclaim Your Peace.
Common Symptoms of PTSD
- Intrusive memories or flashbacks
- Nightmares or sleep disturbances
- Avoiding people, places, or conversations related to the trauma
- Irritability, anger, or emotional numbness
- Feeling constantly on edge or “on guard”
- Difficulty concentrating or feeling disconnected from reality
- PTSD can also show up with depression, anxiety, or substance use. We address the whole picture to help you heal deeply.
