Healing From Trauma Is Possible

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as an accident, assault, combat, the sudden loss of a loved one or ongoing abuse. Symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance and avoidance can make it feel like the trauma is still happening.

At Horizon Healing Center, every part of care is trauma-informed. We treat PTSD, complex PTSD (C-PTSD) and trauma that shows up alongside depression, anxiety or substance use. Treatment moves at a pace that feels safe, starting with stabilization and coping skills before processing difficult memories.

We proudly work with veterans, active military, first responders and healthcare professionals, whose trauma often comes from the very work of protecting others.

Signs of PTSD

PTSD symptoms often fall into four groups. You may notice:

Trauma-Focused CBT & CPT

Address the beliefs about safety, trust and self-worth that trauma can distort.

Group Therapy

Connect with others who understand, in a safe and structured setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

PTSD often follows a single traumatic event or a small number of events. Complex PTSD usually develops after prolonged or repeated trauma, such as ongoing abuse, and can also affect emotional regulation, self-image and relationships. We treat both.

EMDR is a structured therapy that uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, while you briefly focus on traumatic memories. It’s recommended by organizations including the VA and the World Health Organization as an effective PTSD treatment.

Not right away, and not before you’re ready. Treatment begins with building safety and coping skills. Your therapist will work with you to decide if and when to process specific memories.

Yes. We work with active military members, veterans, first responders and healthcare professionals, and understand the unique stressors of these roles.

Most major insurance plans cover PTSD treatment. We’ll verify your benefits for free with Aetna, Anthem, BCBS, Cigna, Horizon BCBSNJ, UnitedHealthcare and others.

It varies by person and type of trauma. Many evidence-based PTSD therapies are delivered over a set number of sessions, and you can continue support in outpatient care afterward.
