Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a condition that can develop after a person has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. PTSD can have a profound impact on a person’s life, making it difficult to work, maintain relationships, and even conduct everyday activities. Emotional trauma can often be very devastating to a person’s psychological health. Trauma has the power to disrupt a person’s daily life and force them down a spiral of fear.

Unfortunately, many people with PTSD do not receive the treatment they need. This can be due to a lack of awareness or understanding of the condition, stigma, or financial barriers. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to treatment, there are a number of options we use that can be effective in managing symptoms and helping people to live productive, fulfilling lives, including:
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on helping people identify and change negative thoughts and behaviors. CBT has been shown to be an effective treatment for PTSD. During CBT sessions, a therapist will work with the patient to identify negative thought patterns and replace them with more positive ones.
EMDR is a type of therapy that uses eye movements to help the brain process and heal from trauma. EMDR has been shown to be an effective treatment for PTSD. During EMDR sessions, the therapist will have the patient move their eyes back and forth while thinking about or recalling their traumatic experience. The therapist will also guide the patient in identifying any negative beliefs they have about themselves as a result of the trauma.
There are several types of medication that can be used to treat PTSD. Anti-depressants are often prescribed to help manage symptoms of depression and anxiety. Antipsychotics may also be prescribed to help with intrusive thoughts and flashbacks.
GOOD Based on 77 reviews Caden Snow Roeykenes2025-02-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the first program i have been in that has a place for the LGBT+ community. They have specific groups just for gender non conforming. Everyone who works there is trauma informed and they understand people who are neurodivergent. They care about the clients not the money and always go the extra mile to help you get the help you need. Its the first program iv ever felt safe at. I highly recommend it.

From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and empathetic, which immediately put me at ease. The therapists I’ve worked with have been attentive, truly listening to my struggles, and tailoring treatment to meet my specific needs. I appreciated how they took the time to explain different approaches and helped me navigate through various coping strategies. incorporating not only therapy but also suggestions for lifestyle changes, mindfulness, and other supportive practices. The environment is calm and non-judgmental, and I never felt rushed during my sessions. What really stood out was how committed they were to my progress—whether it was through follow-ups or the flexibility they offered in adjusting treatment when needed. Overall, my experience has been incredibly positive, and I feel like I’m in a much better place thanks to the comprehensive care I received.

I went through Residential, PHP and IOP with them and I had nothing but great experiences. The staff were kind and caring, the therapists were extremely professional and knew what they were talking about, which is rare for a treatment center. Ryan, the owner, is awesome and really does this from the heart. This place is not about the money, but about helping people. I would 100% recommend MHC SD to anyone I know!
