PTSD Treatment Looks Different at ResWell

You May Benefit From Our Integrative, Evidence-Based Therapies:

Psychotherapy

  • Psychotherapy, or “talk therapy,” is an evidence-based treatment that can help people with PTSD identify negative emotions, thought patterns, and behaviors stemming from the condition.
  • Different types of therapy, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, can help you process trauma, learn effective coping skills for difficult situations or triggers, and develop new ways of thinking. Therapy also helps support you through recurring PTSD symptoms or other challenges that may arise in the future.
  • Psychotherapy can work well with other PTSD treatments, including medication management and evidence-based wellness programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PTSD?

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a complex and serious mental health condition that can develop after a person has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, such as combat, a natural disaster, a car accident, sexual assault, or any situation where severe physical harm was threatened, witnessed, or experienced. This condition can significantly impair a person’s daily functioning, relationships, and quality of life.

What are the symptoms of PTSD?

Symptoms of PTSD can vary widely but generally include experiencing intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to traumatic experiences that persist long after the traumatic event has ended. People with PTSD may relive the event through flashbacks or nightmares. They may feel sadness, fear, or anger and may feel detached or estranged from other people.

People with PTSD may also avoid situations or people that remind them of the traumatic event. They may have strong negative reactions to something as ordinary as a loud noise or an accidental touch.

What is the most effective PTSD treatment in Los Angeles?

Most patients benefit from a combination of PTSD treatments personalized to their specific situation and needs, including psychotherapy, medication management, and integrative approaches. We believe integrative treatment that includes nutrition, sleep hygiene, mindfulness, and daily physical activity can help improve outcomes for patients with PTSD or other mental health concerns.

How do I know if I have PTSD?

If you display some of the symptoms listed above and those symptoms interfere with daily life, PTSD could be the cause. However, a comprehensive evaluation by a PTSD treatment center like ResWell is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.

Do you offer telehealth appointments for patients with PTSD?

The first meeting is usually in person. We provide telehealth follow-up appointments to make treatment as easy and convenient as possible for you. Specific scheduling depends on the treatment plan developed with your provider.

Do you accept insurance for PTSD treatments?

While we do not accept insurance, we provide patients with the documentation necessary to file a claim with their insurance carriers.
