PTSD & Trauma Treatment in California

After a traumatic event, the mind sometimes stays stuck in survival mode. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) brings flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and avoidance that can persist for months or years. Trauma changes the brain — and treatment helps it heal.

Mindful Sewa Psychiatry provides trauma-informed PTSD care by telehealth across California. You set the pace; nothing is forced.

Signs & Symptoms of PTSD & Trauma

• Flashbacks or intrusive memories of the event
• Nightmares and disturbed sleep
• Avoiding reminders, places, or conversations
• Feeling constantly on guard or easily startled
• Irritability or angry outbursts
• Emotional numbness or detachment
• Negative beliefs about yourself or the world
• Memory gaps around the trauma

How We Treat PTSD & Trauma

Treatment may include medications that reduce hyperarousal, improve sleep, and quiet nightmares — including options such as SSRIs and prazosin for trauma-related nightmares — combined with grounding skills and referral to trauma-focused therapy when appropriate.

Trauma-informed care means you control what you share and when. Healing does not require retelling everything on day one.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

Your first appointment is a safe, structured video conversation. We assess symptoms and history at a pace you choose, screen for co-occurring depression and substance use, and agree on first steps you feel ready for.
