PTSD Therapy in Olney

What is trauma?

Trauma typically develops from significant, shocking, and life-changing experiences. It can develop from a single, isolated incident, such as experiencing a terrifying car accident, and accumulative experiences, such as repeated childhood abuse. Many different types of experiences can lead to one feeling traumatized. Trauma is intrusive and has a direct impact on your mood and how you live your life. You may have thoughts, dreams, or emotions that make you feel like you are reliving the experience. You may avoid situations that trigger the traumatic memories and feelings. Perhaps you become vigilant, waiting for the traumatic experience to return, purely existing in “survival mode.” There are different types and symptoms of trauma, but all of them result in some form of contraction or narrowing of living a more engaged, expansive, and meaningful life. If you are searching for PTSD Therapy in Olney, MD contact us today.

What is PTSD?

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a severe accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, rape, or other violent personal assault. Anyone can get PTSD at any age. This includes war veterans and survivors of physical and sexual assault, abuse, accidents, disasters, and many other traumatic events. PTSD affects approximately 3.5 percent of U.S. adults, and an estimated one in 11 people will be diagnosed with PTSD in their lifetime. Women are twice as likely as men to have PTSD. Diagnosis of PTSD requires exposure to an event that involved the actual or possible threat of death, violence, or severe injury.

I can’t say enough great things about Washington Psychological Wellness. From the very first appointment, I felt welcomed, respected, and genuinely heard. The entire team is professional, compassionate, and creates a comfortable environment where it’s easy to open up without feeling judged.

The therapists take the time to truly understand your situation and provide thoughtful, practical guidance that’s tailored to your individual needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. Scheduling has been easy, communication is excellent, and every interaction has been positive.

If you’re looking for a practice that genuinely cares about your mental health and personal growth, I highly recommend Washington Psychological Wellness. Their professionalism, empathy, and commitment to helping their clients make them an outstanding choice for anyone seeking quality mental health care.
