When you experience something traumatic, it can leave a lasting mark, emotionally, physically, and mentally. Flashbacks, anxiety, nightmares, and hypervigilance can make it feel like you are stuck in survival mode long after the danger has passed. These are signs of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and you do not need to live with these symptoms forever.

At Cedar Park TMS, we provide compassionate, personalized PTSD treatment in Austin. Whether your trauma stems from military service, an accident, abuse, or another life-changing event, our mental health professionals are here to help you find healing in a safe, supportive environment that is close to home.

What Is PTSD?

PTSD can develop after you experience or witness a traumatic event. It is more than just a stressful memory. It can trigger intense emotional and physical reactions that feel out of your control, often months or even years after the event occurred. Common symptoms include:

  • Feeling on edge or easily startled
  • Recurrent flashbacks or nightmares
  • Emotional numbness or detachment
  • Irritability, guilt, or difficulty sleeping
  • Avoidance of places, people, or situations that remind you of the trauma

PTSD does not look the same for everyone. It can show up gradually or all at once, and it does not mean you are weak. It means you have been through something painful, and your nervous system is still trying to protect you. Our Austin care team could help you manage your PTSD symptoms with tailored treatment.

Personalized PTSD Care

We have been helping patients in Austin with PTSD symptoms since 2008. Our approach is grounded in science, shaped by your story, and delivered with compassion.

Our process starts with a conversation, an opportunity to learn more about your experience, symptoms, and goals without pressure or judgment. Then, we will work with you to build a customized PTSD treatment plan that feels manageable and hopeful.

Medication Management That Supports Healing

Medications, such as antidepressants or anti-anxiety prescriptions, can help reduce PTSD symptoms for many people. If medication is part of your treatment plan, we will monitor how you feel and make adjustments as needed to ensure that you receive care that respects both your mental health and your physical well-being.

TMS Therapy for PTSD-Related Depression and Anxiety

While TMS is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression, many people with PTSD also experience major depressive disorder or persistent anxiety. Based on clinical data, TMS has shown promise in reducing these symptoms by stimulating underactive areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. TMS therapy typically involves:

  • Short sessions with office visits lasting around 15 minutes
  • Tolerable, non-invasive treatment with no anesthesia or downtime
  • Targeted treatment, with mapping done by Dr. Earthman to ensure precision and comfort
  • Structured program, with treatments five days a week for six weeks, followed by three weeks of tapering sessions (36 sessions total)

If traditional methods have not worked, or if you want to explore a drug-free option, TMS might be worth considering.
