Trauma & PTSD Therapy
Heal What Still Hurts
Some wounds don’t just fade with time. Trauma lives in the body and mind—showing up as flashbacks, anxiety, nightmares, panic, emotional numbness, or a sense that you’re never quite safe. You may not have the words for what happened, but your nervous system remembers.
At Dr. Brad Shamis & Associates, we help you gently untangle the impact of trauma and PTSD so you can finally breathe again. Our work is focused, compassionate, and grounded in science—because healing should be as powerful as the pain that brought you here.
What Trauma Looks Like
Trauma isn’t just about what happened—it’s about how your body and mind responded to overwhelming experiences. You might be dealing with:
• Childhood abuse or neglect
• Sexual assault or domestic violence
• Military or first responder trauma
• Medical trauma
• Car accidents or natural disasters
• Sudden loss or betrayal
You might find yourself on edge, shutting down, avoiding certain places or people, or replaying the past when you least expect it. Trauma changes how we see the world—and ourselves. But therapy can help you rewrite the story.
How We Help
Our approach to trauma therapy and PTSD treatment combines cutting-edge techniques with a trauma-informed, deeply human perspective. We don’t just talk about what happened—we help your nervous system process it.
Your personalized treatment may include:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A highly effective method to desensitize and reprocess traumatic memories
- Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP): To shift deep-seated beliefs and internal patterns
- Mindfulness-based practices: To calm the body and build present-moment safety
- Cognitive strategies: To understand and reshape trauma-related thinking
This isn’t one-size-fits-all therapy. It’s a tailored path built for your pace, your experiences, and your goals.
You Can Heal - Even If It Feels Impossible
PTSD doesn’t have to define your life. With the right tools, support, and therapeutic relationship, you can begin to:
- Reduce flashbacks, anxiety, and hypervigilance
- Feel safe in your body again
- Let go of shame or guilt that was never yours to carry
- Reconnect with people, purpose, and pleasure
- Stop surviving and start living
We’ve seen people come in feeling broken and leave feeling whole. The trauma may be part of your story, but it doesn’t have to be the ending.
