Trauma and PTSD
PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop from being exposed to a wide variety of traumatic events such as motor vehicle crashes, home accidents, sexual assault, domestic violence, or being involved in a natural disaster. As the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) describes it, PTSD happens after “being witness to or being exposed to situations involving threatened or actual serious physical harm or death.” But it’s important to keep in mind that experiencing a trauma doesn’t mean a person will absolutely develop PTSD.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help high achievers and perfectionists struggling with trauma and PTSD by addressing how their perfectionistic drive can exacerbate their symptoms and hinder recovery. Together, we work to uncover how their need for control and high standards may contribute to their trauma responses. I provide evidence-based therapies to process and heal from past experiences while developing effective coping strategies. By fostering self-compassion and a balanced approach to their recovery, I help clients navigate their trauma in a way that allows them to regain control and achieve a healthier, more fulfilling life. My goal is to support them in overcoming the challenges of PTSD while maintaining their sense of self-worth and resilience.

Trauma and PTSD
LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
Trauma is a specialty for me. I have done hours of training on Trauma and PTSD. I use EMDR to work with trauma but along with EMDR a client must look at their patterns of thought, feeling and especially behavior. All of these work together. Once a trauma is processed, the patterns that go with the trauma must also change and grow.
