What are Trauma & PTSD?

Trauma is a profound emotional response to a distressing event that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing such events. Symptoms can include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and intrusive thoughts.

Letting Go of the Pain with Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy is vital for those affected by distressing experiences. It provides a safe environment to process and release the pain associated with trauma, helping individuals develop coping strategies and rebuild their lives. This therapeutic journey can lead to significant emotional healing and personal growth.

The Signs & Symptoms of Trauma & PTSD

Identifying the signs of trauma and PTSD is crucial for seeking help. Symptoms include:

  • Intrusive Thoughts: Frequent, distressing memories, flashbacks, and nightmares.
  • Avoidance Behavior: Efforts to avoid reminders of the trauma, such as specific places, people, or activities.
  • Negative Thinking and Mood: Persistent negative thoughts, feelings of hopelessness, and emotional numbness.
  • Hyperarousal: Symptoms like irritability, difficulty sleeping, and heightened startle response.

Recognizing these symptoms is the first step toward effective treatment.

At Randel Porter Therapy, we use a neuroscience-based approach to treat trauma and PTSD. This method targets emotional distress at the subconscious level, addressing the root causes of trauma and facilitating rapid, positive changes. Sessions in Floresville, Texas, typically last 1 to 3 hours, with many clients experiencing significant relief after just one session.

Overcome Trauma and Get Back to Health

Healing from trauma involves several key stages: acceptance, processing, rebuilding, and growth. Acceptance allows you to acknowledge the trauma’s impact.

Rebuilding focuses on restoring your sense of safety and control, and growth emerges as you transform these experiences into resilience and personal strength.

Frequently Asked Questions

PTSD Trauma Counseling in Floresville Texas

I utilize a cutting-edge, neuroscience-based approach intended to pinpoint and resolve difficult problems quickly, easily, and automatically. My clients are often astounded at the shifts and changes we can make in just a first session. This approach works equally well for anxiety treatment, depression therapy, PTSD and trauma treatment, and couples and marriage counseling.

I work with adults (18 and up), couples (married or not, opposite sex or same sex), families, and groups.

I do full 1 hour sessions. Depending on the issue to be resolved, a 1.5 to 2 hour session may be suggested. Many of my clients even request 1.5 hour or 2 hour sessions just to get more accomplished. You will see how we work at our first session and can then choose the length of subsequent sessions. Couples sessions always benefit from being at least 1.5 hours.

Our sessions are $300/hour. 1 – 2 sessions with me can easily replace months (or years) of traditional therapy. I have received scores of comments from clients about the efficiency and ease of transformation they obtained.

Perhaps the best one: “I felt more of an improvement after even the initial 20-minute consultation with you then I did from all the therapists I’ve seen over the previous 20 years!”

No, I am not in-network with any insurance companies. However, there is one possible alternative if you would like to use your insurance: check with your provider to see if your coverage includes Out of Network (OON) benefits for mental health visits. If you have OON coverage, you would pay for the service at the time of your appointment, then I will provide you with a SuperBill which you will send to your provider to seek reimbursement directly from them.

Note: There is only ONE way to ensure that all topics and issues we discuss in a session stay 100% confidential and only between you and I, and that is self-pay with no insurance, which is the framework I use.

Please be advised when using insurance:

  1. all insurance companies require a mental disorder diagnosis
  2. they may request a copy of our session notes”
  3. they may decline your request for reimbursement
  4. they may dictate the number of sessions and the length of the sessions
  5. anyone who comes in contact with your personal health information in the chain of insurance processing has access to it; the exact opposite of confidentiality.

A mental disorder diagnosis will become a part of your permanent health record. It can work against you when attempting to get certain insurances, apply for certain licenses, or in your military or business career, as anyone who has a “legitimate” reason to access the medical database can view your records.

For these reasons, I have decided not to accept health insurance directly.

Yes! I see clients via teletherapy. Due to the way I work, video (and phone) sessions are every bit as effective as in-person sessions. Additionally, many people find them preferable due to ease of scheduling (no travel time) or where they are physically located.

Confidentiality is a large part of what makes counseling successful. For many people, it is the only safe, non-judgmental, and confidential place where they can feel completely at ease to talk about absolutely anything. Nothing that we talk about nor any identifying characteristics of you will ever be discussed outside of our meetings.

The consultation is a great way for me to learn what you’ve been experiencing so I can then know how I can be of benefit for you. If you are initially hesitant to reach out to a stranger for counseling, it is also a way for you to get more comfortable and familiar with me before we do a session.

I serve clients on weekdays from 10 am – 6 pm. Other days and times are available by request with additional cost.

Please call, text, or email. If I am in session, please leave a message and I will return your phone call, text, or email the same day. If you are contacting me for an appointment, please let me know of a few days and times that would work for you.
