Traumatic Disorders

Healing from Trauma: Comprehensive Treatment at Alice’s Psychiatry & Wellness

Understanding Trauma-Related Mental Health Conditions

Trauma-related disorders develop in response to distressing or life-threatening experiences that overwhelm a person’s ability to cope. Unlike many psychiatric conditions, these disorders have a direct connection to specific traumatic events. At Alice’s Psychiatry & Wellness, we recognize that trauma affects each individual differently, and recovery requires care that reflects your unique experience.

While some people may recover with time and support, others face lasting symptoms that impact mood, relationships, and everyday functioning. Our trauma-informed team provides expert evaluations and personalized treatment plans designed to address both the emotional and neurological impacts of trauma.

Common Trauma-Related Disorders We Treat

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Often develops after exposure to violence, abuse, disaster, or serious accidents. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness that persist for over a month. Learn more from the National Institute of Mental Health.
• Acute Stress Disorder: Short-term condition with similar symptoms to PTSD, often occurring within the first month after trauma exposure.
• Complex Trauma: Arises from prolonged trauma, especially in childhood, and is marked by emotional dysregulation, negative self-image, and difficulty in relationships.
• Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD): Diagnosed in children who experience early neglect or inconsistent caregiving. These children often have difficulty forming healthy bonds.
• Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder: Characterized by a lack of appropriate boundaries with unfamiliar adults, often stemming from early developmental trauma.
• Adjustment Disorders: Emotional or behavioral symptoms that arise in response to significant life changes, such as divorce, illness, or relocation.
