Starting Trauma/PTSD therapy

What is PTSD/trauma therapy?

At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events. Therapists specializing in trauma create a secure environment to process and heal from these experiences, aiming to reduce trauma-related symptoms and enhance overall quality of life.

How does PTSD/trauma therapy work?

Our Thriveworks providers use Trauma/PTSD therapy treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR, CBT, and exposure therapy with the goal of helping clients process the traumatic events they have experienced so that they can to start feeling safe and secure again.

Symptoms of PTSD

The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:

  • Flashbacks and distressing memories of the traumatic event
  • Nightmares and sleep disturbances
  • Intense anxiety and irritability
  • Avoidance of reminders of the trauma
  • Negative changes in mood and thought patterns
  • Increased arousal, like difficulty concentrating or exaggerated startle response

How do you overcome PTSD triggers?

The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.

What type of therapist is best for PTSD?

In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.

Is PTSD/trauma therapy conducted in person or online?

PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long should you go to therapy for PTSD?

If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.

How successful is therapy for PTSD?

The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.

I appreciate the amount of care and transparency given by my therapist Leslie! She has been all I need to help me better myself. Before I started Thriveworks I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks to Leslie she has helped me to open my eyes and move forward with life in the positive way.

I love Ms. Brooks!! She's really helped me through some hard times. I had some problems with the insurance billing at first with Thriveworks, but after we got it figured out it's been smooth.

I absolutely love my provider she's the best I've been seeing her for a while now even before she came to Thriveworks! One improvement I would say for the business is be more clear and upfront about costs with copay's and what the insurance covers and doesn't upfront !

I've had a really great experience with my therapist. She's checked all of the boxes off when it comes to my therapy needs and has been very welcoming. It was really important to me to be able to have an LGBT-friendly therapist who is trained to handle trauma. Thriveworks has delivered on that promise with Leslie.
