Condition
Online PTSD & Trauma Treatment
Trauma treatment at your pace, from a provider who will not push you to retell more than you're ready to.
Does this sound familiar?
- Intrusive memories, flashbacks or nightmares
- Avoiding people, places or conversations that remind you
- Feeling constantly on guard, or startling easily
- Emotional numbness, or feeling detached from people
- Irritability or anger that surprises you
- Trouble sleeping or concentrating
- Blaming yourself for what happened
You don't need to meet every one of these, and you don't need to be certain before booking. Working out what's going on is what the evaluation is for.
Trauma treatment does not require reliving everything
A common reason people avoid treatment is the belief that they will be made to describe the worst thing that happened to them in detail, immediately. That is not how good trauma care works.
Treatment starts with stability and safety, moves at a pace you set, and stops when you need it to. You stay in control of what you talk about and when.
What treatment can involve
- Evaluation that distinguishes PTSD from depression, anxiety and ADHD, which overlap heavily
- Trauma-informed therapy, paced by you
- Medication for sleep, nightmares, anxiety or depression where appropriate
- Treating co-occurring substance use, which frequently accompanies trauma
- Practical strategies for triggers and hypervigilance
You don't have to wait months
Same-day and next-day appointments are often available, and there is no referral or waitlist. If you are ready to be seen, the usual barrier — a three-month wait for a first appointment — isn't one here.

PTSD: common questions
- Do I have to talk about what happened?
- Not before you're ready, and not in more detail than you choose. Treatment begins with stability, and you control the pace throughout.
- Does PTSD only come from combat?
- No. Assault, accidents, medical events, childbirth, childhood experiences and sustained abuse all cause PTSD. There is no threshold a trauma has to clear to count.
- I've been drinking to cope. Will that be held against me?
- No. It is extremely common and it is treatable — and your provider is also a licensed chemical dependency counselor, so both get addressed together rather than separately.
This page is general health information, not medical advice, and it is not a diagnostic tool. Medication is prescribed only where clinically appropriate following an evaluation. You must be physically located in a state where your provider is licensed at the time of your visit.
