Is Trauma Still Affecting Your Everyday Life?
After a traumatic experience, some people develop symptoms that affect sleep, mood, relationships, and daily activities. PTSD can look different from person to person.
Unwanted Memories
Upsetting memories or thoughts about a past experience that return unexpectedly.
Nightmares or Sleep Problems
Trouble sleeping or having upsetting dreams.
Feeling Constantly on Alert
Feeling tense, watchful, or unsafe even when there is no immediate danger.
Avoiding Reminders
Staying away from places, people, or situations that bring back difficult memories.
Changes in Mood
Feeling more fearful, irritable, disconnected, or emotionally numb.
Difficulty Concentrating
Finding it hard to focus or manage everyday responsibilities.
These experiences can have causes other than PTSD, and a professional evaluation can help determine what may be contributing. Having symptoms does not by itself mean you have PTSD.
Zyra provides scheduled outpatient psychiatric care and is not an emergency or crisis service. If you are in immediate crisis or danger, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), dial 911, or go to your nearest emergency room. Sudden chest pain or other symptoms that could signal a medical emergency should be evaluated immediately by calling 911.
PTSD Care That Starts With Understanding You
PTSD affects people in different ways. Our psychiatric providers take time to understand your symptoms, health history, and treatment goals, while respecting your comfort and privacy.
Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation
We review your symptoms, health history, sleep, mood, and how you're managing everyday life.
Personalized Medication Management
We discuss medication options based on your symptoms, past treatment experiences, and individual needs.
Ongoing Psychiatric Support
Follow-up visits help us monitor treatment response, discuss side effects, and adjust care when appropriate.
You can discuss your symptoms without being expected to describe every detail of a traumatic experience. Evaluations may identify conditions other than PTSD or conditions occurring alongside it. Medication is not always required.

What About Therapy for PTSD?
Trauma-focused therapy is an important treatment for PTSD. It can help people work through difficult experiences and manage symptoms.
