Led by experienced counseling psychologist Pakeeza Carrim, our therapy for PTSD provides the tools and strategies needed to overcome the challenges of PTSD and lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Understanding PTSD and Its Effects
PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms can include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Therapy in Benoni helps individuals understand these symptoms and their effects on daily life, providing a foundation for effective treatment and recovery.
The Benefits of Early Intervention in PTSD
Early intervention is crucial in managing PTSD effectively, especially for children. Therapy in Benoni emphasizes the importance of recognizing PTSD symptoms early and seeking timely support. Our therapy provides immediate and long-term benefits, helping individuals and kids stabilize their mental health and prevent further complications.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for PTSD
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective treatments for PTSD. Therapy in Benoni utilizes CBT to help individuals and kids challenge and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Our therapy incorporates CBT techniques to reduce symptoms and improve overall mental health.

Family support is vital in the recovery process for individuals and kids with PTSD. Therapy in Benoni encourages family involvement in therapy sessions to create a supportive environment. Our therapy includes educating family members on how to provide emotional support and understanding throughout the healing journey.
Play Therapy for Children with PTSD
Play therapy is an effective approach for helping children process trauma. Therapy in Benoni utilizes play therapy to provide a safe and expressive outlet for kids to explore their feelings and experiences. This method helps children with PTSD communicate their emotions and begin the healing process in a non-threatening way.
Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques
Mindfulness and relaxation techniques can significantly reduce PTSD symptoms such as anxiety and hyperarousal. Therapy in Benoni incorporates these techniques into our PTSD treatment plans to help individuals and kids manage stress and improve emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices promote a sense of calm and presence, aiding in recovery.
