Resuming life with a restored sense of self

Those struggling to recover from all manners of trauma – physical, emotional, spiritual – often report a loss of sense of integrity and wholeness. Mind Therapy Clinic’s treatment seeks to empower our clients to resume life with a restored sense of self. Physical and psychological treatments aimed at calming the nervous system Identifying and working through the psychological sources of trauma Desensitization to painful triggers Developing effective coping skills and strategies Improving support through more effective interpersonal communication and more functional family systems
The goal for all of the treatments for PTSD is to restore a sense of safety and calm, trust in self, and a sense of feeling whole again. Those who have benefited from trauma therapies come to a deep knowing that the traumatic event is over — it feels like a thing of the past. This allows them to carry out their everyday activities, work, and relationships with a feeling of regained freedom and hope.
Because untreated trauma can substantially impact one’s life, all of our programming is trauma-informed and employs evidence-based approaches to recovery. We cater to adults with severe symptoms that significantly impair daily activities, including work, school, family, and social functioning. Thoughtful and meticulous programming is provided by our medical experts, who are some of the best in the field of treating trauma and PTSD. Proper diagnosis includes a psychiatric evaluation, assessment, and more.

ptsd therapy

Individual Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy

Our trauma specialists are trained psychologists who provide individual therapy and lead group therapies targeting trauma treatment. At the core, they are deeply knowledgeable about trauma and understand the potential impact of trauma on each client. Their care is steeped in principles of trauma-informed care.

cbt

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a skill-based treatment that targets distressing thoughts that haunt individuals after a traumatic event. Methods challenge fixed thinking patterns by discussing emotions and exploring trauma's impact. CBT aims to change thoughts, improving safety, trust, control, and self-esteem, offering a new perspective on the past event.

prolonged exposure

Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy

While CBT focuses on thoughts, PE focuses on the feelings (panic, fear, anger, anxiety) that occur after a traumatic event. PE Therapy includes an educational component, breath training for relaxation, and use of exposure to reminders of the trauma. Exposure may be imagined, such as recalling and describing the traumatic event in great detail; or, real world experiences, such as visiting the intersection where a car accident occurred. When successful, the repeated exposure causes the emotional reactivity to reminders of the trauma to gradually subside.

Post Traumatic Growth Therapy

Post traumatic growth involves an intentional attempt to understand and assign meaning to traumatic events, transforming negative effects into positive meanings and change. This therapy facilitates positive change after trauma and promotes improved adjustment in a newly defined and valued life.
