What Is PTSD?
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that may develop after exposure to a traumatic event, such as:
- Physical or sexual assault
- Military combat or deployment
- Serious accidents or natural disasters
- Childhood abuse or neglect
- Sudden loss of a loved one
- Chronic exposure to stress or violence
PTSD can influence how individuals think, feel, and interact with the world long after the traumatic event has passed.
Common symptoms of PTSD may include:
- Re-experiencing distressing memories, flashbacks, or nightmares
- Avoidance of reminders related to the trauma
- Hypervigilance or exaggerated startle response
- Emotional numbness or detachment
- Persistent negative thoughts or mood changes
- Irritability, anxiety, or difficulty concentrating
Symptoms can vary in intensity and may disrupt relationships, work, sleep, and quality of life. Professional PTSD treatment helps individuals understand these patterns and develop effective strategies for coping and recovery.
Our Approach to PTSD Treatment
At WML Wellness & Wendie Lubinsky Counseling, PTSD treatment is tailored to the individual needs of each client. Our clinicians provide a trauma-informed therapeutic approach that combines evidence-based methods with compassionate care.
Individualized Clinical Assessment
The first step in PTSD treatment is a thorough clinical assessment. This involves:
- Reviewing your history and symptoms
- Understanding the impact of trauma on daily functioning
- Identifying co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, depression, or substance use
- Collaboratively defining treatment goals
Assessment helps guide a treatment plan that is specific, measurable, and aligned with your goals for healing and growth.
Evidence-Informed Interventions
Our practice integrates therapeutic modalities that are supported by research for addressing trauma and PTSD, including:
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
A structured approach that helps individuals process traumatic memories and modify unhelpful beliefs related to the trauma.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
A form of cognitive therapy focused on challenging and reframing trauma-related thoughts and beliefs to reduce distress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
A structured therapy that supports the processing of traumatic memories and reduces the emotional intensity associated with them.
Mindfulness-Informed and Somatic Approaches
Strategies to increase awareness of the body and present-moment experience, helping reduce physiological stress responses and support emotional regulation.
Our clinicians combine these and other methods to match your unique trauma history, symptoms, and treatment goals.
