Expert PTSD Treatment: Heal from Trauma in Guelph

Trickett Psychotherapy & Counselling provides a range of mental health services, including comprehensive treatment options for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This severe mental health condition can develop not only after exposure to life-threatening events such as combat, natural disasters, car accidents, or sexual assault but also from prolonged exposure to adverse relational events, abuse, or neglect. PTSD is characterized by extended periods of distress, with symptoms that may include flashbacks, avoidance behaviors, negative changes in thoughts and feelings, and heightened states of arousal. Such symptoms can disrupt daily life and may not appear until months or years after the traumatic event.

Our approach to PTSD treatment incorporates trauma-focused psychotherapies like Somatic Experiencing, skills coaching, mindfulness approaches, and relational approaches, as well as individual counselling to suit each person's unique needs. We also offer couples therapy aimed at addressing relationship challenges that may arise from PTSD. 

Effective treatment for PTSD must be tailored to each individual’s needs, with the goal of reducing symptoms, improving function, and helping individuals regain a sense of control over their lives. Available both in-person in Guelph and online, our treatments also tackle commonly associated issues such as depression, anxiety, and substance use, providing a holistic approach to recovery.
