Trauma and PTSD Therapy in Las Vegas
You’re tired of living around what happened.
You keep going. It’s taking a lot out of you.
You might be the person everyone counts on. You get through the workday and take care of the people who need you. Meanwhile, a sudden sound makes you jump, an ordinary conversation puts you on edge, or you’re exhausted from trying to keep your reactions in check.
Trauma can affect more than the memory of what happened. A reminder may bring up fear or tension, and it can become harder to feel at ease or trust other people. These reactions can follow one event or repeated experiences over time.
Maybe you’ve never called it trauma. You just want some breathing room. Therapy can start with what’s difficult now and help you understand the experiences connected with those reactions.
What would you like to feel free to do again?
You’d like to enjoy an evening with your partner without getting caught in a reaction, or go somewhere you’ve been avoiding because it brings too much back.
The aim is to recognize those responses earlier and have more choice about what happens next. Your goals give the work a focus and a way to notice progress between sessions.
Working together
I’m warm, direct, and involved. I’ll ask questions and share what I notice, and I want to hear when something doesn’t fit your experience. There’s room for humor, too.
I’m curious about what helps people change, from structured trauma treatment and parts work to virtual reality (VR) for guided practice. I’ll explain the options and listen to your preferences as the treatment plan takes shape.
You feel constantly on alert, even during ordinary moments.
Memories, nightmares, or flashbacks interrupt your day or sleep.
You’ve started organizing your life around avoiding reminders.
Shame or self-blame keeps following you long after what happened.
Trust and closeness feel difficult after abuse, neglect, betrayal, or another painful experience.
Who is therapy for:
No. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one possible response to trauma. Painful experiences can also leave you struggling without meeting the criteria for that diagnosis.
Do I need a PTSD diagnosis?
Let’s get started.
You can start with, “I’m tired of reacting this way.” The first conversation is a chance to talk about what’s been difficult and ask questions about therapy. Sessions are available in Las Vegas and online throughout Nevada.
