So lucky to live at a time when therapy is more acceptable and encouraged rather than back in the day. I wish I would’ve reached out sooner. After a traumatic event, my life was spinning out of control. I now feel like I’m more equipped to manage the issues that arise.

Trauma & PTSD therapy FAQs
How do I know if I have PTSD?
Though PTSD can only be diagnosed by a trained mental health professional, there are common symptoms that serve as warning signs. These include intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance of reminders of the trauma, negative changes in mood or cognition, and heightened arousal or reactivity. It’s essential to seek professional help, such as trauma & PTSD therapy at Thriveworks, for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Can trauma & PTSD therapy at Thriveworks be effective?
For many individuals, therapy proves to be an effective measure in reducing the negative emotions and difficulty in coping with tragedy and loss. Some of the approaches used at Thriveworks, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), prolonged exposure therapy (PE), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), can lead to significant improvements in PTSD symptoms and quality of life for many individuals.
Is trauma & PTSD therapy covered by insurance?
While our trauma & PTSD therapists at Thriveworks work with many different insurance providers and plans, specific policies may cover more or less of some clients costs than others. It’s essential to check with your insurance company to understand your coverage for trauma & PTSD therapy and any potential out-of-pocket costs that you may owe.
How will trauma & PTSD therapy at Thriveworks help me?
Trauma & PTSD therapy at Thriveworks can help you process traumatic memories, teach you new coping skills, and learn to manage flashbacks, nightmares, hyper vigilance, and avoidant behaviors. Through building resilience and enhancing overall well-being, you’ll partner with a therapist at Thriveworks to start down a path toward better mental health.
What if I'm not ready to talk about it?
At Thriveworks, our therapists understand and respect your boundaries, and respect you for being willing to share your experiences. Your trauma & PTSD therapist will work with you at a pace that feels safe and comfortable. Therapy can still be beneficial even if you’re not ready to talk about the details of your trauma right away, as there are many therapeutic techniques and approaches that can help, even without your sharing your traumatic memories with your therapist.
What should I do to prepare for my first session?
To prepare for your first trauma and PTSD therapy session at Thriveworks plan to show up at the agreed upon time, whether that means meeting at one of our offices with your therapist, or simply joining your virtual session from a private device with internet browsing capabilities. It can also be helpful to gather any relevant medical history or documentation required by your therapist, and take some time to reflect on your goals and what you hope to achieve through therapy.
