TRAUMA + PTSD TREATMENT IN KNOXVILLE, TN & FORT LAUDERDALE, FL

At our Tennessee & Florida PTSD treatment centers, our team works hard to avoid inadvertent reminders of your traumatic experience during mental health treatment. Too often, people struggling with PTSD avoid treatment because they are worried about questions, discussions, or environments that could trigger them. 

Trauma-informed care looks different for everyone, and when you reach out to our treatment center for help, we conduct an initial assessment to ensure we have the information necessary to avoid re-traumatization however it looks for you. For example:

• If you were physically assaulted and cannot tolerate physical touch, even a handshake or pat on the shoulder, our treatment team can adjust your therapy sessions accordingly. 
• If you were in an accident while certain music was playing, we could ensure music doesn’t play in the background of your sessions. 
• If you are mistrustful of a specific gender or other demographic because they remind you of an abuser or attacker, we can find care team members with whom you are more comfortable.

Having a safe environment during outpatient PTSD treatment in Tennessee & Florida involves more than just avoiding re-traumatization. It involves customized programs that empower you during your treatment. Our customized PTSD treatment programs give you control over the type of therapy you receive, help you make informed choices during your recovery, and collaborate with other people as necessary. 

During your program, you'll acquire additional education and skills and participate in activities that ensure your emotional and physical safety. We also provide detailed information on what to expect from your treatment, how your mental health program will look, and who will be involved in your sessions so that you know exactly what to expect and are not surprised.
