At Joyful Living Behavioral Health, we offer compassionate therapy for individuals with PTSD in Eugene, Oregon. If you’re struggling with the debilitating effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), our specialized therapy can provide a path to healing, resilience, and renewed hope.
Understanding PTSD
PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may include intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and avoidance of trauma-related stimuli. At Joyful Living in Eugene, OR, we understand the profound impact of PTSD and offer personalized therapy to help you overcome its effects.
Our Approach to PTSD Therapy
Our therapy for PTSD is tailored to address the unique needs and experiences of each client. In the process, our experienced therapists use evidence-based techniques, such as:
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): This specialized form of therapy helps individuals reframe and challenge distorted beliefs related to their traumatic experiences. This enables them to reduce the emotional impact of the trauma and improve their overall mental health.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): This therapy technique helps individuals with PTSD process and reduce the distress associated with traumatic memories by using guided eye movements and other sensory stimulation.
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This therapeutic approach is designed to help individuals with PTSD address and process traumatic experiences. It works to alter negative thought patterns and behaviors, ultimately reducing trauma-related symptoms and improving emotional well-being.

Reclaim Control Over Your Life
