PTSD & Trauma

At Centennial Counseling Center, we recognize the profound impact that trauma can have on a person’s emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Trauma can stem from a wide range of experiences—from a single life-threatening event like a car accident or natural disaster to ongoing situations such as abuse or community violence. When these experiences go unprocessed, they can lead to conditions like Acute Stress Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), or Complex PTSD. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, mood changes, and difficulty maintaining relationships. Whether the trauma was recent or occurred years ago, healing is possible—and we’re here to help you take that first step.
Therapy for PTSD & Trauma is available at Centennial Counseling Center

At Centennial Counseling Center, we understand that trauma can impact every part of your life, but with the right support, recovery and renewed strength are within reach. Whether your experience involves a single event or ongoing challenges, we are here to help you make sense of what you’re feeling and move toward healing. Here are some of the ways trauma can show up:
