​Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a complex mental health disorder. When we think of PTSD, we often think it is only associated with veterans who have experienced wartime trauma. Yet, it can happen to others. A person with it may have experienced some type of intense and life-changing type of event, such as, a serious accident or physical abuse. The key characteristic of this condition is that randomly and often suddenly, a person with PTSD may relive those moments. For example, a noise or a location may set off painful memories, making them relive what happened over and over again, which can cause significant problems in social or work settings, and even in relationships. PTSD can also hinder one’s ability to go about their normal daily tasks.

​

One successful way to help overcome PTSD is through counseling. PTSD counseling is designed to create a safe place for you to work on overcoming these challenges. Counseling for PTSD is about breaking that connection to allow yourself to heal.
