Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can arise when individuals experience trauma. Symptoms include intrusive memories, nightmares, flashbacks, avoidance, negative change in mood or thoughts, and increased arousal. PTSD is a complex and challenging condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. At Valmente Wellness & Healing Center, we bring decades of experience to the frontlines of PTSD treatments. Whether you’re suffering from chronic or even treatment-resistant symptoms, we can help you achieve lasting, life-changing relief.
OUR SERVICES
Evidence-Based Psychotherapies
Our evidence-based psychotherapies have shown remarkable success in treating PTSD and sexual traumas. These include:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
This therapy focuses on processing distressing memories and reducing their impact. Through guided eye movements, patients can reprocess traumatic events, alleviating the emotional distress associated with them.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
CPT aims to reframe negative thought patterns related to the trauma. By challenging and altering these thought processes, patients can experience relief from the debilitating symptoms of PTSD.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy
This therapy gradually exposes people to the memories, situations, and places they’ve been avoiding due to trauma. Through controlled and systematic exposure, patients can regain confidence and control.
Medication Management
Some patients benefit from integrating both psychotherapy and mental health medications into their care. In some cases, ketamine has also shown promising results in the treatment of PTSD-related depression. At Valmente, we carefully assess each patient to determine if ketamine could be a valuable addition to their treatment plan.
