PTSD Therapy New York City
For PTSD, the best therapist is someone who's experienced in trauma work and who makes you feel safe and understood. It’s essential to find someone who’s trauma-informed, meaning they understand how trauma impacts your mind and body, and who can create a space where you feel comfortable processing painful memories.
Some cognitive and somatic symptoms of PTSD can include:
The most successful therapy for PTSD is Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). It’s been extensively researched and helps people process trauma in a way that changes negative thought patterns and helps you deal with triggers more effectively.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is also really effective, especially for those who have difficulty talking through their trauma. It uses bilateral stimulation to help process and reframe traumatic memories.
The ideal therapy for PTSD depends on the individual, but generally, trauma therapy that’s evidence-based—like TF-CBT or EMDR—works best. Some people also benefit from Somatic Experiencing, which focuses on how trauma is held in the body and works to release it. The key is to feel safe and supported, with a therapist who works at a pace you’re comfortable with.
