Your Journey to Post-Traumatic Growth Begins Here

When moving forward after a traumatic event, it's easy to feel consumed by pain and fear, unsure of how to move forward. Just like an oyster transforms a troublesome grain of sand into a lustrous pearl, you have the innate capacity to turn your trauma into a source of strength and growth. This journey isn't just about surviving tough times; it's about thriving in spite of them. Our approach to occupational therapy for PTSD is rooted in this transformative potential. By embracing suffering and working through it, you open the door to profound personal growth and resilience. Here, we nurture your ability to emerge from the shadows, empowered and ready to reclaim your life with renewed purpose and clarity. Let's explore how we can guide you on this transformative journey, helping you craft your own pearl of wisdom from past challenges.

Reclaim Your Life with Comprehensive Care

Our assessments dive deep, looking beyond just the PTSD symptoms to include other common challenges that might come along with trauma, like chronic pain and insomnia. We focus on how these affect your everyday function, targeting what you need and want to achieve on a daily basis. This is trauma informed occupational therapy with a holistic perspective. Please note that diagnosis is outside the scope of occupational therapy. Treatment can include:

  • education about trauma & trauma-related disorders

  • coaching on coping strategies for symptoms management

  • real-life gradual exposure to places/situations that are safe but avoided

  • work simulation & return to work planning

Treatment that Empowers

  • Functional Focus: Our approach is centered on your daily life, ensuring that therapy enhances your everyday functionality.

  • Coping & Grounding Strategies: Practice techniques with us that will make life easier NOW. We need to build resources up first before diving into more challenging areas of therapy.

  • Graded Exposure/Prolonged Exposure Therapy: Gain strength and control, gradually facing and embracing situations you've avoided since your trauma.
