PTSD Treatment in East Setauket, NY

Understanding PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event.

It’s not a sign of weakness — it’s a natural response to overwhelming stress that can affect both the mind and body.

At Resilience Psychiatry, we provide trauma-informed, compassionate care designed to help you process experiences safely, reduce symptoms, and regain a sense of calm and control.

Common Symptoms of PTSD

PTSD symptoms can vary but often include:

  • Flashbacks or distressing memories of the trauma
  • Nightmares or sleep disturbances
  • Avoidance of reminders of the event
  • Hypervigilance or feeling “on edge”
  • Emotional numbness or detachment
  • Irritability or anger outbursts
  • Difficulty concentrating or relaxing

If these symptoms have persisted for more than a month or interfere with your daily life, professional treatment can help.
