We Provide Holistic Recovery from Trauma and Stress Conditions
Trauma disorders impact about 6.8% of adults each year, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Acute Stress Disorder, Complex PTSD, and Adjustment Disorders that are established after exposure to actual or threatened death, severe injury, or sexual assault.
About Our Trauma Recovery Services
Trauma and stress-related disorders are caused by exposure to excessive events that surpass the ability of a person to cope, causing intrusive recollections, avoidance symptoms, negative cognition and affect alterations, and hyperarousal symptomatology. At One Stop Mental Health Clinic, we treat PTSD as a result of combat in the military, sexual assault, car accidents, and natural disasters; Complex PTSD due to child abuse or extended captivity; Acute Stress Disorder right after traumatic occurrences; Adjustment Disorders due to significant life transitions; and Dissociative Disorders such as dissociative identity disorder and depersonalization-derealization disorder often as a result of severe child trauma.
Our trauma healing integrates trauma-informed therapeutic modalities with psychiatric treatment for concomitant symptoms. Our dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner performs trauma assessment through standardized clinical interview, trauma history questionnaires, and dissociation screening instruments to determine the specific types of trauma and clusters of symptoms. Therapeutic modalities involve Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for processing trauma, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for symptom management, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotional dysregulation, somatic therapies for body-based trauma response, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or prazosin for nightmares and hypervigilance.
