Understanding PTSD and Trauma

At Premier Psychiatric Services, we understand the profound impact that trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can have on your life. Our specialized treatment approach is designed to help you process traumatic experiences, manage symptoms, and reclaim your sense of safety and well-being.

Understanding PTSD and Trauma

PTSD can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may include:

  • Intrusive memories or flashbacks
  • Avoidance of trauma-related triggers
  • Negative changes in thoughts and mood
  • Changes in physical and emotional reactions

Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach

We offer a range of evidence-based therapies tailored to your specific needs:

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

This approach helps you process traumatic memories and change unhelpful thought patterns related to the trauma.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a specialized therapy that can help you process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact.

Prolonged Exposure Therapy

This therapy helps you gradually confront trauma-related memories and situations in a safe, controlled environment.

Medication Management

When appropriate, we may prescribe medications to help manage symptoms associated with PTSD and trauma.
