Find a therapist who specializes in PTSD
My therapist is kind and profound. I look forward to every appointment with him. I have learned so much in our sessions. He seems to be particularly great with PTSD, veterans and relatives, and addiction. He also uses the ACT principals which I have found to be life changing skills..

Mary was so approachable from my first session and felt caring and relatable from the start, especially because this was my first time in talk therapy. She is kind, understanding, and open. I am so thankful for her help, it has truly changed me in such a short period of time!
