Trauma-Related Symptoms (PTSD Features)
Grounding skills, medication options, and coordination with your therapist Trauma can change how your brain and body respond to the world. At Infinity Wellminds Services PLLC in Tacoma, WA, we offer practical, compassionate care to help you feel safer, sleep better, and regain daily control. Visits are available in person (ADA-accessible clinic) and via secure telehealth across Washington.
What we help with
Intrusive memories, nightmares, flashbacks
Hypervigilance, startle, irritability, anger surges
Avoidance, numbness, feeling “disconnected”
Anxiety, depression, sleep problems, panic, substance-use concerns
Trauma from childbirth, medical events, accidents, violence, or chronic stress
How care works
- Gentle assessment: trauma-informed interview at your pace; sleep/mood/safety check; medication and medical review; screening for co-occurring conditions.
- Personalized plan: grounding and regulation skills (paced breathing, orientation, sensory tools, urge-surfing, a brief “calm plan”); medication options when appropriate for sleep, nightmares, anxiety, and mood-with the fewest meds necessary; therapy coordination (EMDR, TF-CBT, DBT, CPT).
- Ongoing support: focused follow-ups every 2-4 weeks, simple trackers for sleep/triggers, and adjustments for work, school, parenting, and travel.
First visit
60-75 minutes to understand your story and values, a two-week starter plan (grounding menu, sleep steps, clear med guidance if used), and a written after-visit summary.
Skills we'll build
A 60-second grounding sequence, sleep-protection routines, body-based regulation (breath, muscle release, movement), and trigger planning.
Medication Approach
We start with skills and routines; add or adjust medications only if needed, aligned with your therapy work.
