Post-traumatic stress disorder, commonly known as PTSD, is a mental health condition that develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. PTSD can affect anyone, whether the trauma was related to combat, abuse, accidents, or sudden loss, and its impact reaches into daily life in complex and often overwhelming ways. We specialize in a variety of therapeutic approaches to PTSD at The Place of Hope, including cognitive processing (CPT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), providing a structured space for patients to process memories in a safe and gradual way. Our approach emphasizes patience, compassion, and empowerment, ensuring that recovery is not rushed but steadily built upon a foundation of trust. With both in-person and telehealth sessions available, patients can choose the environment that feels most comfortable as they progress through treatment. If you’re struggling with the long-term mental effects of trauma, schedule a PTSD consultation at our Dearborn Heights, MI practice to start your journey toward recovery.
