Combat trauma, childhood experiences, sexual trauma, and workplace incidents. While women are twice as likely to develop PTSD, men experience more trauma overall and face unique barriers to getting help.
Lifetime PTSD prevalence: 7.7% for male veterans, 3.4% for male civilians. Yet traditional masculine norms create the longest treatment delays. Forty percent of men had never spoken to anyone about their mental health, with many believing they should just "get over it" or "suck it up."
Military deployment, combat exposure, first responder incidents. Including moral injury—when your actions or what you witnessed violates your values.
Abuse, neglect, or growing up in unstable environments. These experiences shape how you see yourself, others, and the world.
Sexual assault or abuse. Men often don't recognize these experiences as trauma or feel they can't talk about them.
Accidents, violence, witnessing tragedy, or cumulative workplace stress that becomes traumatic.
We use proven approaches like Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and EMDR. These aren't just "talk therapy"—they're structured protocols that help your brain process and integrate traumatic memories.
Trauma treatment doesn't mean you have to relive everything in detail right away. We work at your pace, building skills and resources first so you can handle the harder work.
You've served others. Now it's time to serve yourself. We understand military and first responder culture, including moral injury and the challenge of reintegration.
