The Problem
Do I have PTSD? Common signs PTSD therapy can help with
PTSD can show up differently for different people. Some symptoms are obvious, others are easy to miss until you feel exhausted or stuck in survival mode.
- Common signs include:
- Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or nightmares
- Avoiding people, places, conversations, or reminders
- Emotional numbness, shutdown, or dissociation
- Guilt, shame, irritability, anger, or difficulty trusting others
- Panic, insomnia, or persistent tension in the body
- Feeling “stuck,” guarded, or unable to relax even when things are safe
You do not need a formal diagnosis to begin therapy. If you are unsure, we can start with a conversation about what you are experiencing and what you want to change.
If you are in immediate danger or need urgent support: call 988 or your local emergency services.
PTSD therapy for the experiences Houston clients commonly bring
PTSD can develop after a single event or repeated, long-term stress. We often work with clients impacted by:
Accidents, injuries, and medical trauma
Car accidents, procedures, hospital stays, or sudden health events can leave the nervous system “stuck” in threat mode. Therapy often focuses on reducing body-based triggers, improving sleep, and restoring a sense of safety.
Assault, violence, or interpersonal trauma
When safety is broken in a relationship or through violence, symptoms can include hypervigilance, avoidance, shame, and emotional shutdown. We pace therapy carefully and prioritize stabilization and choice.
Childhood trauma and complex patterns
Long-term trauma can affect self-worth, boundaries, relationships, and emotional regulation. Therapy may include parts work (IFS), somatic approaches, and carefully paced trauma processing.
Grief with traumatic stress
Loss can be complicated by intrusive images, anxiety, and a sense that life does not feel real. Therapy can support grief processing while also addressing trauma symptoms.
Vicarious trauma and high-responsibility roles
First responders, medical professionals, caregivers, and high-achieving professionals may carry trauma silently. Therapy can address hyperarousal, burnout, numbness, and emotional fatigue with nervous-system-informed care.
Which PTSD therapy approach is right for you?
Different approaches help different nervous systems. During your consultation and intake, we help you choose a path that fits your symptoms, history, and comfort level.
EMDR therapy
Often helpful for: intrusive memories, triggers, single-incident trauma, recurring nightmares
What it can feel like: structured, guided, and focused on reducing the emotional charge of traumatic memories

Brainspotting
Often helpful for: trauma stored “below words,” feeling stuck in talk therapy, strong body reactions
What it can feel like: deeper processing with somatic tracking, often less verbal than traditional therapy
Somatic Experiencing
Often helpful for: panic, shutdown, chronic tension, dysregulation, “always on edge”
What it can feel like: gentle, body-based work that helps your nervous system complete stress responses and return to regulation
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Often helpful for: shame, inner conflict, harsh self-criticism, protective coping strategies
What it can feel like: compassionate parts work that helps you understand protective patterns and heal what is underneath
Neurofeedback (adjunct option)
Often helpful for: sleep issues, hyperarousal, concentration, nervous system support alongside therapy
What it can feel like: skills training for the brain to support calm, focus, and resilience over time
Not sure where to start? That is normal. We will recommend an approach based on what you are experiencing and what feels manageable.
