C-PTSD · Austin, TX
Complex PTSD Therapy in Austin
For adults carrying the long tail of childhood or relational trauma — where the wound is old and the effects are current.
Complex PTSD asks for slow, sequenced work: safety and resourcing first, then processing at a pace your system can integrate, then meaning-making. Our approach draws on EMDR, IFS, and the relational stability of consistent weekly therapy.
FAQ
Common questions
What's the difference between PTSD and C-PTSD?
PTSD usually follows a discrete event. C-PTSD follows prolonged, repeated trauma — often in childhood or a relationship — and typically involves harder-hitting effects on identity, relationships, and self-worth.
Can C-PTSD be treated?
Yes. It's longer work than single-incident trauma, but it responds well to EMDR, IFS, and consistent relational therapy. Most clients see meaningful change over months, not years.
Do I need a diagnosis to start?
No. Bring your experience; we don't require a label to begin.
