What Is PTSD?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that happens after someone experiences or sees something very scary, dangerous, or upsetting. This can be a series of events like an abusive relationship, sexual violence, or even medical trauma. PTSD affects your brain and body. It can lead to distressing memories, night terrors, and strong emotions like fear or sadness.

Teens with PTSD may:

Feel nervous or angry often
Avoid people or places that remind them of the trauma
Have trouble sleeping
Feel like they are not in control of their feelings
Feel disconnected or numb

These are called avoidance symptoms, reactivity symptoms, and trauma-related symptoms. The good news is, online therapy can help manage them and improve your quality of life.

Signs of PTSD in Teens

Not every teen reacts to trauma in the same way. Some signs to watch for include:

Intrusive memories that won’t go away
Feeling afraid even when safe
Sudden anger or sadness
Staying away from people or things
Not wanting to talk about what happened
Changes in sleep or appetite
Feeling like life doesn’t matter or having suicidal ideations
Physical pain with no clear cause (physical symptoms)

If you or someone you love is feeling these things, getting help is a smart and strong choice.

Our Process

How We Treat PTSD Online

Our team uses evidence-based treatments that work well in online sessions. Here’s how we help:

1. Trauma-Focused Therapy

We focus on the trauma itself and help you learn ways to cope, heal, and rebuild your sense of safety.

2. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

This therapy helps you look at scary thoughts and learn to change them with healthier thinking. CBT includes cognitive restructuring, which teaches you how to handle distorted sense of self, guilt, or blame.

3. Exposure Therapy

This means gently facing the memories, with a trusted therapist, so they feel less scary over time. We also offer prolonged exposure and narrative exposure therapy for deep healing.

4. Art Therapy and Creative Outlets

Sometimes words are hard. We use creative ways like drawing and painting to express intense emotions and make therapy easier.

5. Supportive Therapy

We offer individual therapy and person sessions in a caring, non-judgmental space. Our goal is to build supportive relationships and help you feel understood.
