Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a highly stressful or traumatic event, such as an accident, abuse, war, or a distressing medical experience.

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 online CBT program includes tools and exercises designed to help people who experience symptoms related to post-traumatic stress. With the guidance of a therapist, you can gradually explore difficult thoughts, memories, and situations connected to past experiences in a structured and supportive way.

CBT approaches for trauma-related symptoms often focus on understanding how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. Many people find that learning new ways to respond to reminders of past events can help reduce distress and improve their sense of control.

Work is done gradually and at a pace that feels manageable for you. Over time, many people experience fewer anxiety reactions and feel better able to move forward in their daily lives.

"I feel like I've always wanted to get therapy but never quite jumped on it until something happened and I really thought it was time. It was probably the best decision I've taken. I really enjoy the professionnalism that is shown through this platform. I am very satisfied with the services provided by online therapy and the flexibility that is provided to you as well. If you were ever thinking of getting therapy and wasn't sure, do it. This is honestly a great platform to do so as well."

"This is my first experience of any therapy and I'm been very happy so far. It's only been a month, but the combination of weekly sessions and worksheets to work through have been very helpful. I'm finding the writing process very cathartic. Regarding the sessions, I didn't require anything groundbreaking, I just needed a neutral voice who could help me to better understand my own hypothesis of what I was facing. It has been everything I required, and I've been very pleasantly surprised at how quickly it has had a positive effect on my life."

"Beth Lakes is an amazing person and therapist. I feel completely comfortable confiding with her due to the warm and grounded energy she brings to every session. I've been seeing her for about a year now and she has made a tangible difference to my mental health. She has helped me grow and navigate through some very tumultuous times. I can't recommend her enough."

"so far, so good! My therapist seems empathetic, compassionate and is easy to share with.
The therapy is expensive, perhaps because my last therapy was "rent-controlled" ha ha.
But it's all relative. My mental health is worth the expense!"

"I have to say, using online-therapy has been extremely beneficial for my life. I am a busy grad student and healthcare worker who has been dealing with a lot of anxiety around my line of work and my daily responsibilities of someone who works/goes to school full time. My therapist and I tackled the root of the anxiety and focused on strategies of things I can do when I am feeling overwhelmed. Overall, i feel like I have become a more calm person. I think of my emotions before I react. I journal, I deep breathe. These are all habits I have learned through therapy, and I am so grateful to online-therapy for having a platform that makes therapy easily accessible."

"I have really enjoyed the worksheets, it has helped me look at my views in ways i have never looked at them before. It shows me that sometimes the way i think is super silly"

"This platform offers a solid foundation for anyone beginning their self‑improvement journey. While some sections could benefit from deeper explanations, the content is still a strong starting point and easy to build on. Switching to a different therapist is simple, and the response times are impressively quick. Overall, it’s an accessible, affordable option that delivers real value for online therapy."

"A month and a few days in, I'm aleady seeing a difference in how I feel and act, and understanding myself better. I wasn't sure therapy solely through messages would do much, but my therapist is great at asking just the right questions to get me thinking deeper about things I used to take as "just how I am."

The flexibility is great, and I like being able to take the time to think through things while I'm writing my responses. My therapist's responses are usually quick-- usually there will be a message waiting in the morning and I'll think it over during the day, send my response that night, and continue the conversation the following day.

Even the cheapest tier is worth a shot, in my opinion."
