Childhood trauma, when not properly addressed, can be carried through adulthood. That’s why it should be addressed as soon as possible. Trauma and PTSD are often associated with flashbacks and unpleasant emotions. The goals of therapy in these conditions are to improve clients’ symptoms, restore healthy self-esteem, and promote the learning of coping skills. Therapy modalities differ for each client but their overall function is to gradually improve the client’s ability to manage symptoms and improve negative thoughts.

PTSD often develops when the brain continues to react to past trauma as if it’s still happening, interfering with everyday life and relationships. Our goal is to help individuals regain control, reduce symptoms, and rebuild a sense of safety and purpose through personalized therapeutic care, including specialized anxiety therapy in Rockville, Maryland.
