Healing the Wounds You Can’t Always See
Compassionate Care to Help You or Your Loved One Find Hope Again
Trauma can leave invisible wounds that affect every part of life. It can shape the way you think, feel, and relate to others. For some, it shows up as panic attacks, nightmares, or constant fear. For others, it looks like emotional numbness, irritability, or unexplained exhaustion.
Whether you’ve experienced a single event or a lifetime of ongoing harm, you deserve to heal.
At CTC Mental Health Services, we specialize in treating trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) through safe, evidence-based care that meets you exactly where you are. We work with adults, teens, and children who have survived a wide range of traumatic experiences, including abuse, neglect, violence, loss, and more.
What Is PTSD?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Not everyone who goes through trauma develops PTSD, but many live with ongoing effects long after the danger has passed.
Symptoms of PTSD and Trauma May Include:
- Flashbacks or intrusive memories
- Nightmares or sleep disturbances
- Avoiding reminders of the trauma
- Feeling numb, disconnected, or emotionally shut down
- Hypervigilance, startle response, or panic attacks
- Irritability, anger outbursts, or difficulty trusting others
- Difficulty concentrating or staying present
- Shame, guilt, or hopelessness
- Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities
These symptoms are not signs of weakness. They are normal responses to abnormal situations. And they are treatable.
Types of Trauma We Treat
Our clinicians work with trauma in all its forms, including:
- Childhood abuse or neglect
- Domestic violence or intimate partner abuse
- Sexual assault or harassment
- Traumatic grief or loss
- Military-related trauma or combat PTSD
- Medical trauma
- Car accidents, natural disasters, or violent incidents
- Bullying or emotional abuse
- Ongoing exposure to community or systemic trauma
- Witnessing violence (especially for children)
We understand that trauma is deeply personal and often hard to talk about. Our job is to create a space where you feel safe, in control, and supported from start to finish.
Our Approach to Trauma & PTSD Treatment
Healing from trauma is not about “forgetting what happened.” It is about reclaiming your life, your voice, and your sense of self. At CTC, we use trauma-informed therapy to help clients move from surviving to thriving.
1. Therapy with Trauma-Sensitive Clinicians
Our therapists are trained in evidence-based trauma treatments, including:
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
- EMDR-informed approaches (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
- Narrative Therapy
- Somatic and mindfulness-based therapy
- Parts work or inner child healing
- Safety-focused therapy for children and adolescents
In every session, you set the pace. We focus on building trust, emotional regulation, and a sense of agency before exploring trauma stories or memories.
2. Medication Management (If Needed)
Trauma can disrupt brain chemistry and lead to symptoms like anxiety, depression, or sleep disturbance. If medication is part of your treatment plan, our prescribing psychologists offer careful, respectful support to help manage symptoms and stabilize your nervous system.
3. Support for Children and Teens
Trauma in young people often looks different than it does in adults. It may show up as defiance, aggression, academic struggles, or withdrawal. Our child therapists provide developmentally appropriate treatment to help kids:
- Feel safe and secure
- Express their feelings through play, art, or conversation
- Build emotional language and coping skills
- Re-establish trust in caregivers and adults
- Reduce shame and behavioral issues
- Build resilience for the future
We work closely with parents and guardians to help families heal together.
4. Christian and LGBTQ+ Affirming Trauma Care
For clients seeking faith-based support, we offer trauma counseling that integrates biblical truths with therapeutic tools. For LGBTQ+ clients, we provide affirming care that addresses trauma related to identity, rejection, or discrimination.
No matter your story or belief system, our job is to honor your truth and support your healing in a way that feels safe and authentic.
