It wasn’t your fault; yet you have the unfair task of having to deal with the fallout. I want you to know that I honor your story; this includes your wounds as well as your victories.

SONYA L ALLEN
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CCTP
Symptoms of Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can stem from ordinary life stressors such as divorce, illness, accidents, and bereavement to extreme experiences of war, torture, rape, and genocide. The experiences can cause ongoing devastation emotionally for individuals in the form of depression, anxiety and relationship problems. Through education and coping skills, individuals can learn to experience more emotional stability and empowerment.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, 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.
