What Is PTSD & How Is It Treated?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a trauma-related mental health condition that can develop after a distressing event or prolonged emotional stress. It may cause symptoms such as intrusive memories, nightmares, hypervigilance, avoidance behaviors, and difficulty functioning in daily life.
Effective PTSD treatment is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps individuals process trauma, reduce symptoms, and regain stability. It typically combines therapy, medication management, and coping strategies tailored to each individual’s needs.
At Ardent Behavioral Health and Total Wellness, our licensed providers offer comprehensive PTSD evaluations and personalized treatment through both in-office visits and secure telehealth sessions—making expert care accessible from the comfort of your home, without a referral.

I started treatment with ms robin in December and she’s the best. She really helps me out to make sure I can be a fully functional and be myself again. Although it’s a process, she listens and makes sure you get the right treatment. I’m glad I was recommended to see her.

Ardent Health has helped me in so many ways, I'm so greatful for finding this office. If you're looking for a provider that actually listens to you and provides a kind, judgement-free mental health experience, look no further than Robin. She has been there for me during difficult personal experiences and gotten me back on the right track. I can't say enough good things about her and her team, they are always available, communicative, they provide appointments during times that work for her patients, and again, she really listens to me. In this day and age of revolving-door medicine, I'm so happy to have found a provider that is truly here for me!

I’ve been through a lot of providers over the past several years. Most would rush me, not listen, and/or just take a one size fits all approach. Robin takes her time, listens to me, and is always responsive to my feedback and concerns. She makes me feel seen and I can see that she cares about her patients. I would highly recommend this practice
