Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that some people get after experiencing a threatening and painful event like an accident, sexual abuse, war, bad experience in health care etc.

If you have experienced a traumatic event in your life and are faced with flashbacks of this trauma, memory loss, feeling much more anxious and vigilant compared to before or avoiding things that remind you of the trauma, then you might be suffering from PTSD. Note that these symptoms often appear within a few weeks but it can also take years.

Our therapy for PTSD is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the guidance of your therapist and CBT for PTSD, you will work through the traumatic memories, maybe even visiting situations and/or places that remind you of your trauma. While this might sound painful, it has been proven in numerous research studies to be an effective way to overcome PTSD. This is done under controlled conditions guided by your therapist at a pace that suits you. The result? A dramatic decrease in your anxiety reactions and symptoms, allowing you to live a life free from past traumatic events.

"Vanessa is a joy to work with. I feel like she completely understands the issues I'm having and is 100% on my side. She's the first therapist I have had that has recognized that there are underlying issues that need to be addressed from my past before I can truly move forward. I feel like I was meant to do this at this time."

"I've enjoyed the program so far. I like the fact that it is self paced.. Most importantly, I've appreciated the responses from my therapist Brett. He is caring, attentive, and flexible in the strategies he uses to help me deal with my anxiety. Most of all, he's a wonderful listener. Our weekly video sessions really help to center me and set goals for each week. Thank you!"

"My experience so far with online–therapy.com has been excellent. I am looking forward to working with my therapist. I like that it is an online service because I travel a lot for work so I’m not able to do in person therapy sessions. I think the Daily work sheets will be very helpful as well"

"This CBT online course has helped me put into perspective more lot of things I already had knowledge of. The main take away for me is that I cannot control other peoples behavior but I can act accordingly to cause myself less stress and anxiety and hopefully prevent me from showing "unhealthy" anger.

Thank you!"

"So far I have enjoyed my time. I have not taken advantage of the allotted times to meet with my doctor yet but my doctor has been timely with their email responses. She has been great at listening and helpful with suggestions. I had been hoping to do couples therapy and when given the opportunity I hope that is something my doctor can do. However, I am still waiting for my partner to join with me. Hopefully that will come soon and it will be something that she can help us with."
