PTSD Treatment in Burlington

Pillars of Wellness, located in Burlington, specializes in treating individuals experiencing the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

What is PTSD?

This is a mental disorder that can follow any experience or witnessing of life-threatening situations like war, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, accidents, or assault. Some people can return to a normal life over time, but others face stresses that do not go away with time and can actually get progressively worse. People with PTSD usually relive their trauma through nightmares and flashbacks which can result in insomnia, emotional, or social detachment and overall social impairment.

There are three main sets of symptoms:

01

Nightmares, trauma reminders, & flashbacks

02

Fear, anxiety, anger, stress, & irritability

03

Isolation, numbness, & detachment

Therapy treatment for PTSD in Burlington, Ontario

PTSD Therapy at Our Clinic in Burlington

At Pillars of Wellness, PTSD can be treated through different types of trauma-focused psychotherapy. The goal of treatment is to focus on every memory of the traumatic experience as well as its underlying meaning. Remember, no single type of treatment is right for everyone.

These trauma-focused methods are some of the ways our clinic can help you heal from PTSD:

Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE)

PE trains you on ways to get back control by dealing with your trauma-based feelings. Through talk therapy, patients can safely express their feelings of trauma with a provider so they can healthily overcome them.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

CPT lets you reframe negative beliefs about your trauma by talking with a provider about your negative thoughts while submitting short writing assignments.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR lets you process and breaks down your trauma to understand it better. It works by having you recall your trauma while focusing on any eye movement or audio.

I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism

I recently used Pillars of Wellness services for my injuries. I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism. The first time I came to do my assessment, the owner, the physiotherapist and the chiropractor sat with me to help me figure out the best way to feel better and faster. I spent 6 weeks with on-going treatment using different modalities. The end result was no more pain and I was able to move again!! Thank you so much for your help. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

I’m feeling very supported during my recovery….

On the advice of a friend, I reached out and booked a series of appointments with their occupational therapist, Lori; physiotherapist, Abida; and their naturopath, Dr. Galantai to help with recovering from a concussion. It has been an excellent experience! They are all incredible practitioners.

This is the first time I’ve ever experienced a longer term injury and their genuine, individualized care has really lessened my stress. I’m feeling very supported during my recovery and highly recommend their clinic. I credit my continual improvement to the holistic way I’m getting treatment for my symptoms and am very grateful.

I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.

Friendly, caring and professionals like nothing I have seen around Aldershot//Burlington. Attentive to the needs of their patients. They take the time to listen. Beautiful and well designed clinic that is extremely well maintained. I have had two car accidents in the last year and I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
