At Neighborhood Healthcare, many patients arrive carrying deep emotional wounds, especially those with complex PTSD. This condition, often rooted in repeated trauma during childhood, manifests in a range of debilitating symptoms—depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and difficulty functioning in daily life. It’s a heavy burden, but one that is met with compassion, expert care, and a path forward.
One provider recalls a patient whose journey serves as a powerful reminder of the impact of quality mental health care. “She had been through so much—serious trauma growing up, and then a major health scare that landed her in the ICU at a young age. When she came to me, she could barely function,” they shared.
Together, they began Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapy known for its effectiveness in treating trauma. Through weekly sessions over the course of a year, the patient gradually transformed. “Today, she owns her own business. She had to relearn how to walk, and now she’s running 10 to 15 miles a week. She’s active, social, in a healthy relationship—and she hasn’t had a panic attack in over two years.”
This story is just one example of how Neighborhood Healthcare helps patients overcome barriers, including financial ones, to access high-quality care. The emphasis isn’t just on survival—it’s about helping people thrive. “Why not learn more about yourself? Why not improve your relationships and gain confidence? Therapy offers that,” the provider adds.
Neighborhood Healthcare believes everyone deserves the chance to heal, grow, and live a fuller life. Through dedicated mental health services, they’re guiding patients out of fear and into confidence—one success story at a time. Watch the full story below:
