Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PTSD and complex PTSD?
Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) typically results from prolonged or repeated trauma, often relational or developmental, and includes symptoms of emotional dysregulation, negative self-perception, and difficulty with relationships beyond standard PTSD's core symptoms. Our therapists are trained to distinguish and treat both conditions effectively.
How long does complex PTSD therapy typically take?
Healing timelines vary significantly based on trauma history and severity. Most clients benefit from 6–12 months of consistent therapy; some benefit from longer-term work. We establish realistic expectations during your initial consultation.
Is EMDR effective for complex trauma?
Yes. EMDR is evidence-based for both PTSD and complex PTSD. It helps process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge. Many of our trauma specialists are EMDR-trained and integrate it with other modalities.
Can I do therapy remotely if I'm in Maryland?
Absolutely. We offer secure teletherapy sessions for Maryland residents, making specialized trauma treatment accessible and flexible around your schedule.
