At Gateway Counseling, we believe that the primary goal of treatment involves the ability to be able to manage your life in the “new normal.” If you have post-traumatic stress disorder, we can help you get effective PTSD counseling in Boynton Beach. No matter what the origin cause of your trauma, our PTSD counseling in Boynton Beach is safe, effective, and confidential.

What does PTSD Counseling in Boynton Beach entail?

A technique most commonly requested by military veterans that have served in active combat, PTSD counseling in Boynton Beach most often involves two different types of therapy:

1. Cognitive behavioral therapy, wherein we will explore why you feel the way you do about the trauma you experienced and how to better cope (i.e., respond) to it.
2. Prolonged exposure therapy, wherein we will teach you how to conquer your fear by showing you a new way to respond to events that remind you of the trauma you experienced.

The first, and most common, type of PTSD counseling in Boynton Beach that we at Gateway Counseling offer is cognitive behavioral therapy.  In the safe space we provide, we’ll be able to help you identify why you feel the way you do about your trauma – whatever the cause. What is it about the world around you that causes you to feel angry and upset about your trauma? In our therapeutic space, we’ll be able to identify the triggers that make you feel the way you do and help you respond better.

The second, and perhaps less common, type of PTSD counseling in Boynton Beach that we at Gateway Counseling offer is exposure therapy. In this kind of treatment, the goal is to help you have less fear about your traumatic memories. In other words, even if you are in the situation that caused you to suffer from PTSD in the first place (for example, if you’re still on active duty), you will learn how to cope with the fear better.

These are just a few of the many types of therapy we offer here at Gateway Counseling in Boynton Beach. For more information about us and our services, including how you can get quality PTSD counseling in Boynton Beach, contact us today to see what we can do for you.
