Trauma Counseling & Therapy | Houston, TX

Are you suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, or depression after surviving a traumatic event?

Are you having trauma-related nightmares or flashbacks?

Do you avoid situations or reminders of a traumatic event?

Do you feel trapped in overdrive – on edge, irritable, ready to snap?

Are you experiencing poor concentration or confusion, or feel overwhelmed?

Please know you are not alone.

PTSD is More Common Than You Would Think

A study from the Journal of Traumatic Stress revealed that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is more common than you’d expect. In fact, over eight percent of people in our community will experience PTSD in their lifetime. Furthermore, 4.7% of our community will experience PTSD within the year, and 3.8% in a six month period. If you include people who are hurting after trauma but do not have typical PTSD symptoms, the number rises and becomes more troublesome.

In other words, millions of Americans suffer from devastating psychological symptoms after a traumatic experience.

Trauma Changes Everything

Trauma can alter how the brain functions. The symptoms of PTSD can vary. For example, you may find it difficult to trust and are always on guard. Or, you may have sudden panic and intrusive, anxiety-ridden thoughts. Trauma, without question, cay lessen your quality of life.
