Trauma and PTSD

Trauma and PTSD in Lufkin, TX

Trauma can leave lasting emotional scars, but healing is possible. At Restoration in the Pines Counseling Group, we provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help individuals process trauma, manage PTSD symptoms, and regain a sense of safety and control.

What Is Trauma and PTSD?

Trauma is an emotional response to a distressing or life-altering event, such as abuse, accidents, or loss. It can affect your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

What Is PTSD?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may include:

  • Flashbacks or intrusive memories.
  • Avoidance of triggers or reminders of the event.
  • Hypervigilance or feeling constantly on edge.
  • Emotional numbness or difficulty connecting with others.

How Trauma and PTSD Therapy Can Help

Our therapists specialize in helping individuals process trauma and develop tools to manage PTSD symptoms.

Benefits of Trauma and PTSD Therapy:

  • Process Emotions: Safely explore and process difficult emotions related to trauma.
  • Reduce Symptoms: Learn strategies to manage flashbacks, anxiety, and hypervigilance.
  • Rebuild Trust: Strengthen relationships and regain a sense of connection with others.

Trauma and PTSD Therapy for Children and Teens

Children and teens process trauma differently than adults and may not always have the words to express their pain. Signs of trauma in young people can include behavioral changes, nightmares, anxiety, or withdrawal.

At Restoration in the Pines Counseling & Wellness, we use age-appropriate, evidence-based therapies—such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and play-based interventions—to help young clients safely express emotions, build resilience, and begin healing. We also work closely with parents and caregivers to provide guidance and support throughout the therapy process.

Trauma and PTSD for Adults

For adults, unresolved trauma can impact relationships, work, and daily life—often manifesting as anxiety, flashbacks, emotional numbness, or difficulty trusting others.

At Restoration in the Pines Counseling & Wellness, our therapists provide a safe, compassionate space where you can process traumatic experiences at your own pace. Using proven approaches like EMDR, Somatic Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we help you reduce PTSD symptoms, regain emotional balance, and restore a sense of control and safety in your life.
