Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Treatment

PTSD is a trauma-related condition where reminders trigger intrusive memories, hyperarousal, and avoidance, while mood and sleep often deteriorate. It disrupts concentration, routines, and how you connect with people.

Headspace Wellness Clinic provides outpatient PTSD treatment in multiple states. Our board-certified psychiatrists start by mapping which symptoms you have, how often they appear, and what they interrupt. We build a medication-based plan that helps manage symptoms.

Why PTSD Treatment is Important

In U.S. data, 3.6% of adults had PTSD in the past year, and 6.8% report it across a lifetime; women are affected more often. Globally, most people experience trauma, but only a minority (5–6%) develop PTSD. It directly affects sleep, work/school, focus, and relationships.

Symptoms of PTSD

PTSD doesn’t look the same in everyone. Some people can’t sleep; others can’t stop scanning their surroundings to see if there is any danger even if they are completely safe. Here are the everyday ways trauma can interfere with work, relationships, and rest.

Intrusions

you might be triggered from flashbacks and vivid nightmares.

Avoidance

To not find yourself in the same situation, you may skip routes, places, tasks, or conversations that bring memories back.

Mood/cognition

numbness, guilt, blame, detachment from friends/partner, loss of interest in normal plans.

Hyperarousal

Your sleep schedule becomes poor. You find yourself in irritability and scanning rooms for danger.

Causes & risk factors

Not everyone is exposed to trauma in the same way; that is why everyone develops PTSD differently. Recognizing these factors helps explain why some people heal quickly, plus it help mentalhealth professionals create better treatment plan.
  • Type of trauma and severity (assault, combat, disaster, serious accidents).
  • Repeated or prolonged exposure (e.g., first responders).
  • Prior mental health conditions, family history, or limited social support.
  • Medical contributors (sleep disorders, pain, substances) can worsen the course.

How We Deliver Care

Headspace Wellness Clinic professionals structure treatment around clarity and consistency to have a better understanding of your symptoms.

Evaluation

Our professionals start with a focused psychiatric evaluation and then review your symptoms and trauma history. We may use validated screening tools to map the severity of symptoms.

Medication Plan

We will discuss options and side effects so you have a better understanding. SSRIs (sertraline, paroxetine) have the strongest evidence and are FDA-approved for PTSD.

Follow-Up & Adjustments

After the first appointment we will schedule a short visits to keep track of progress. If benefit is partial, we optimize dose, switch, or augment in line with current guidelines.
