PTSD Therapy in Altamonte Springs

Living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can feel like being stuck in survival mode. Flashbacks, nightmares, panic, or even just constant tension can make everyday life feel exhausting. At New Light Counseling, we offer compassionate, evidence-based PTSD therapy to help you process what happened, reconnect with your body and mind, and reclaim your sense of safety.

Find Peace After Trauma. You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone.

What is PTSD?

PTSD is a response to experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Trauma might come from a single incident (like an accident or assault) or ongoing experiences (such as childhood abuse, relationship violence, or systemic oppression). Everyone’s experience of trauma is different — and so is their path to healing.

Symptoms of PTSD may include:

Intrusive thoughts or flashbacks
Avoidance of reminders of the trauma
Heightened anxiety or startle response
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
Emotional numbness or disconnection from others
Intense guilt, shame, or anger

If any of these resonate with you, know that you are not broken — your nervous system has been trying to protect you.

Our Approach to PTSD Treatment

At New Light Counseling, we specialize in trauma therapy that is grounded in empathy, neuroscience, and a deep respect for your pace and process. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment — we believe in meeting you where you are.

Whether your trauma stems from a single event or years of complex experiences, our therapists are trained to support you with a personalized approach that integrates:

EMDR Therapy – to help reprocess distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity
Somatic and Mindfulness-Based Techniques – to reconnect with your body and increase feelings of safety
Narrative Therapy – to help you reclaim your story and make meaning out of what you’ve been through
Relational and Attachment-Focused Work – to support healing in the context of safe, supportive relationships

We honor your identity, values, and lived experience. Our trauma-informed lens ensures that therapy always feels collaborative, not clinical — and that you are in control of the healing process.
