Perez Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Treatment for PTSD often involves trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), where individuals process traumatic memories and develop healthier coping strategies. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is another effective approach, helping patients reprocess traumatic events and reduce emotional distress.

Trauma and PTSD
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You already have displayed such a beautiful expression of courage by seeking out support. In the beginning of therapy, we’ll build on this courage by identifying what is working for you in life right now, bringing in new resources to expand the sense of safety to live and connect. Then slowly taking little tastes of deeper, painful work, we’ll move back and forth, allowing your full being to embrace this new way of living without the added weight of judgment or pressure to live any one way. We’ll consider the stories and thoughts, the emotions, the images and picture memories, as well as, the groans, pains, and numbness of your body that are charged by fight-flight-freeze-faint energy. We’ll honor all parts of you as we work together to engage all the rules of safety and connection that you’ve learned through past experiences. We’ll consider what is and is not working well for you now, and, we’ll identify new purposes for these parts of you that honor your living and connecting now.
