Trauma can have a lasting impact on both children and adults, sometimes leading to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, causing intense feelings of fear, anxiety, and helplessness that may persist long after the event has passed. Symptoms can include flashbacks, nightmares, difficulty sleeping, and emotional numbness.

At Wheaton Behavioral Health, we specialize in helping individuals who have experienced trauma work through the emotional and psychological challenges that follow. Whether the trauma is recent or something from the past, we offer a safe, compassionate space for you or your child to begin the healing process. Our approach includes trauma-informed care, medication management, and therapy techniques designed to help individuals process their experiences in a healthy and productive way.

Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based therapies, we can work together to help reduce the emotional distress caused by trauma, develop coping skills, and regain a sense of control and peace. Our goal is to support you through the healing process, allowing you to move forward and live a fulfilling life despite the impact of past experiences.

If you or your child are struggling with the effects of trauma or PTSD, you don’t have to face it alone. Reach out today to begin the journey toward healing and emotional well-being.
