Before starting care with Nazira, I was in a very difficult place. She took the time to thoroughly evaluate me, leading to an accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment plan. Throughout the process, I faced many challenges, but she remained patient, dedicated, and never gave up on helping me improve.
What is PTSD?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD, but for those who do, symptoms usually fall into four groups.
Re-experiencing: intrusive memories, flashbacks and nightmares about the event. Avoidance: staying away from people, places or reminders of the trauma. Negative changes in thoughts and mood: guilt, blame, feeling detached or numb, losing interest in things. Arousal and reactivity: trouble sleeping or concentrating, feeling jumpy, irritability.
PTSD is not something that can be "cured" in the traditional sense, and symptoms can resurface during stressful periods even after successful treatment, but with the right care, most people achieve significant, lasting relief.
Who can develop PTSD?
Anyone can develop PTSD after a traumatic experience. It isn't limited to a specific type of event or a specific group of people. A consultation with our provider is the best way to determine whether your symptoms meet criteria for PTSD.
- Survivors of accidents, assault, abuse, or disasters
- Military veterans and first responders
- Those who witnessed danger or harm to a loved one
- People coping with the sudden, unexpected death of someone close to them
- Children and adolescents who experienced frightening or unsafe events
- Anyone with symptoms lasting more than a month that interfere with daily life

Questions patients ask
How common is PTSD?
About 7 to 8 out of every 100 people will experience PTSD at some point in their lives. Women are more likely to develop PTSD than men, and certain traumatic events, such as mass violence, carry a higher risk.
How is PTSD diagnosed?
PTSD is diagnosed through a comprehensive clinical evaluation reviewing your symptoms across three main categories: re-experiencing, avoidance and numbing, and increased arousal, along with how long they've lasted and how they affect daily functioning.
Can PTSD be treated with medication?
Yes. Certain medications can reduce PTSD symptoms such as hyperarousal, sleep disruption, nightmares, and anxiety. Medication is often combined with trauma-focused therapy for the most effective results.
Is PTSD treatment covered by insurance?
Many PTSD evaluation and treatment services are covered by insurance, including medication management. Our team can help verify your specific benefits before your first appointment.
Can PTSD symptoms come back after treatment?
Yes, it's possible for symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment, especially during stressful life events. Ongoing psychiatric support can help you manage symptoms if they resurface.
Do I need to have served in the military to have PTSD?
No. PTSD can develop after any traumatic event, including accidents, assault, abuse, disasters, or the sudden loss of a loved one. It's not limited to combat veterans.
