What It Is

Understanding PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, an accident, assault, loss, or other life-threatening situation. While most people experience at least one traumatic event in their lifetime, only some go on to develop PTSD, and it's treatable with the right, trauma-focused care.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 3.5% of U.S. adults had PTSD in the past year, and 6.8% will experience it at some point in their life. NIMH data also shows about half of adults with PTSD are currently receiving treatment, meaning many people living with PTSD haven't yet found the support that could help.

Located in Phoenixville, we provide PTSD treatment to individuals throughout Chester County and the greater Philadelphia region, including Pottstown, Malvern, Norristown, and surrounding communities.
