Heal from Trauma and Reclaim a Sense of Safety
Living with the effects of trauma can feel overwhelming and isolating. At Iman Psychotherapy, we provide compassionate and evidence-based PTSD therapy to help individuals process difficult experiences, manage emotional distress, and move toward healing. Whether your trauma is recent or from many years ago, therapy can help you feel safer, more grounded, and more connected to yourself again.
What Is PTSD?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that may develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Trauma can affect the nervous system, emotions, thoughts, and daily functioning long after the event has passed.
PTSD may develop after experiences such as:
- Car accidents
- Abuse or violence
- Childhood trauma
- Loss or grief
- Medical trauma
- Assault or harassment
- Workplace trauma
- Military or first responder experiences
- Sudden or life-threatening events
Not everyone responds to trauma in the same way. Some people may experience symptoms shortly after an event, while others notice symptoms months or even years later.
Common Symptoms of PTSD
PTSD symptoms can affect emotional, physical, and mental well-being. Common symptoms may include:
- Flashbacks or intrusive memories
- Nightmares or difficulty sleeping
- Feeling constantly on edge or alert
- Anxiety or panic attacks
- Emotional numbness
- Avoiding reminders of traumatic events
- Difficulty trusting others
- Irritability or anger
- Difficulty concentrating
- Feelings of guilt, shame, or fear
Trauma can also affect relationships, work, confidence, and overall quality of life.
