We designed our PTSD treatment in Phoenix & Scottsdale to help you manage these symptoms and regain control over your life.

Recognizing the signs of PTSD is crucial for seeking the right treatment. Common symptoms include:

Intrusive Memories

Flashbacks, nightmares, or distressing memories of the traumatic event.

Avoidance

Steering clear of places, people, or activities that remind you of the trauma

Negative Changes in Thinking and Mood

Feeling hopeless, detached, or having trouble feeling positive emotions

Heightened Arousal

Being easily startled, feeling tense, or having difficulty sleeping.

Re-experiencing Symptoms

Relive the trauma in your mind repeatedly.

Our Trauma Recovery program offers comprehensive support to help you heal from the effects of trauma.

Exposure Therapy involves gradually facing the memories, feelings, and situations you have been avoiding. By confronting these fears in a safe and controlled environment, you can begin to reduce their power over you. Our therapists in Phoenix & Scottsdale use exposure therapy skillfully to help you move past your trauma.

In some cases, medication may be an essential part of your PTSD treatment. Our psychiatrists work with you to find the right medication and dosage to help manage your symptoms. The treatment plan integrates medication management to ensure the best possible outcomes.
