Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Treatment in Tempe 

 

Heal from Trauma. Restore Calm. Reclaim Your Life.

Have you experienced a traumatic event that still feels impossible to escape?
Do fear, anxiety, and painful memories keep replaying in your mind — even years later?
Do you feel disconnected, on edge, or like you’ve lost control of your thoughts and emotions?

You may be living with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) — a serious mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing trauma.

At Amicus Health & Wellness in Tempe, Arizona, we provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to help individuals recover from trauma, rebuild trust, and regain emotional stability.

Understanding Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

PTSD can arise from any deeply distressing or life-threatening experience, including:

  • Combat or military service

  • Sexual assault or physical violence

  • Severe accidents or medical trauma

  • Natural disasters

  • Terrorist attacks or acts of war

  • Childhood abuse or neglect

Although PTSD is often associated with veterans, it can affect anyone — regardless of age, background, or gender. Studies show that nearly 4% of adults in the United States experience PTSD, and women are twice as likely to develop the condition as men.

PTSD is not a sign of weakness. It’s the mind and body’s natural response to overwhelming stress — and with proper care, healing is absolutely possible.

Common Symptoms of PTSD

People struggling with PTSD often relive traumatic memories long after the original event has passed.

Typical symptoms include:

  • Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or vivid nightmares

  • Severe anxiety, hypervigilance, or panic attacks

  • Avoidance of reminders, places, or conversations related to the trauma

  • Emotional numbness, detachment, or withdrawal from loved ones

  • Irritability, anger outbursts, or exaggerated startle responses

  • Difficulty sleeping or concentrating

  • Feelings of shame, guilt, or helplessness

Recognizing these symptoms is the first step toward recovery. With the right support, you can regain a sense of peace, safety, and control.
