Exposure Therapy for PTSD

Are you living with the lingering effects of trauma? Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can make you feel stuck in the past, haunted by flashbacks, nightmares, and overwhelming anxiety. But healing is possible.
Exposure therapy is a powerful and effective treatment for PTSD, helping you process traumatic memories, reduce anxiety, and regain control of your life. At New Horizons Therapy NY, our compassionate therapists provide online exposure therapy tailored to your specific needs, guiding you through a gradual and safe process of confronting your fears and moving towards recovery.

How Exposure Therapy Works for PTSD:

Identify your triggers: We'll work with you to identify the specific memories, situations, or thoughts that trigger your PTSD symptoms.
Develop a gradual exposure plan: Together, we'll create a personalized plan, starting with less distressing exposures and gradually increasing the intensity.
Engage in imaginal exposure: You'll be guided to revisit traumatic memories in a safe and controlled way, allowing you to process the experience and reduce its emotional impact.
Confront feared situations: We'll support you in gradually facing situations you've been avoiding due to trauma-related anxiety.
Develop coping strategies: You'll learn effective techniques to manage anxiety and fear during exposures, such as relaxation exercises, mindfulness, and cognitive restructuring.
