Living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can feel overwhelming and isolating. Whether it stems from military service, a car accident, assault, natural disaster, or the sudden loss of a loved one, trauma can affect every area of your life—emotionally, physically, and psychologically. In a city as dynamic and demanding as Los Angeles, the need for dedicated PTSD support is greater than ever.
At Totality Treatment, we’re committed to helping individuals reclaim their lives from the grip of trauma. Our expert clinicians provide evidence-based, compassionate care to guide you through healing and empower you to move forward. You don’t have to face PTSD alone—our community is here to support you every step of the way.
What Is PTSD? Understanding the Impact of Trauma
PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by exposure to a traumatic event. While it’s normal to feel distressed after experiencing something frightening, PTSD occurs when these reactions persist long after the event has passed.
Common Symptoms of PTSD Include:
- Flashbacks or reliving the trauma
- Nightmares and sleep disturbances
- Feelings of guilt or shame
- Avoidance of reminders associated with the event
- Hypervigilance or being easily startled
- Emotional numbness or detachment
- Irritability, anger outbursts, or mood swings
These symptoms can disrupt your ability to work, form relationships, and enjoy life. But with the right care, it’s possible to regain a sense of peace and control.
Our Mission at Totality Treatment: Personalized PTSD Recovery in Los Angeles
At Totality Treatment, we believe that healing from trauma is not a one-size-fits-all process. Our mission is to deliver tailored care that considers the full scope of your experience—mind, body, and spirit. Whether your PTSD symptoms are recent or have lasted for years, we’re here to help you create a path to lasting wellness.
Our team is trained in trauma-informed care and deeply understands the complexity of PTSD. From the first phone call to the final phase of your treatment, you’ll be met with empathy, professionalism, and unwavering support.
Trauma-Informed, Evidence-Based Therapies for PTSD
We use a multidisciplinary approach to help clients process trauma, regulate emotions, and develop healthier thought patterns. Our therapy offerings include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is one of the most effective treatments for PTSD. It focuses on identifying and reframing distorted thoughts related to the traumatic experience, ultimately helping clients gain clarity and reduce emotional distress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT incorporates mindfulness and emotional regulation techniques, which are especially helpful for individuals struggling with intense emotions or self-destructive behaviours as a result of trauma.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR uses guided eye movements to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing the emotional charge they carry. This powerful tool often results in faster symptom relief.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
MBSR helps clients manage anxiety, flashbacks, and emotional reactivity by teaching present-moment awareness and calming techniques.
Somatic Experiencing and Holistic Support
For those who feel trauma physically, we incorporate somatic therapies, yoga, meditation, and expressive arts to engage both the mind and body in healing.
Customized Treatment Planning: Your Journey, Your Pace
Every person’s trauma story is unique. That’s why we take the time to conduct comprehensive assessments and collaborate with you to create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and lifestyle. Whether you’re new to therapy or have tried multiple approaches in the past, we meet you where you are.
Our plans are reviewed regularly and adapted as your needs evolve, ensuring consistent progress and support at every stage of your journey.
Levels of Care for PTSD Treatment in Los Angeles
Our treatment model includes multiple levels of care so you can receive the appropriate support for your recovery phase:
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
PHP is designed for individuals who require structured, daylong care without overnight stays. It combines intensive therapy, psychiatric services, and supportive group sessions five days a week. This level is ideal for those with severe symptoms who need comprehensive daily support but still wish to return home each evening.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
IOP offers flexible therapy options that allow clients to continue their careers, education, or family obligations. Clients typically attend 3–5 sessions per week and benefit from personalized one-on-one therapy, trauma-focused group sessions, and family support when appropriate.
Outpatient Program (OP)
For clients who are further along in their recovery or transitioning from higher levels of care, our OP provides continued access to therapy and psychiatric care while promoting greater independence.
The CARING Framework: Our Philosophy of Healing
At Totality Treatment, we follow a unique philosophy called the CARING approach, which embodies our commitment to whole-person care. Here’s how it guides our PTSD treatment:
- Community-Oriented: Healing happens faster when you’re surrounded by others who understand. Group therapy and peer support groups help build a sense of safety and solidarity.
- Accountability-Focused: Clients learn to take charge of their healing journey through self-reflection, goal-setting, and responsibility for their progress.
- Recovery-Driven: We prioritize measurable outcomes that reflect true healing—reduced symptoms, improved relationships, and greater life satisfaction.
- Integration-Centered: Clients are encouraged to practice coping skills in real-world settings, promoting lasting change.
- Needs-Based: Your plan is tailored to you—not a one-size-fits-all formula. We adapt to your background, culture, preferences, and treatment goals.
- Goal-Oriented: Each phase of care is grounded in short- and long-term objectives, keeping you focused and motivated.
Specialized PTSD Programs for Veterans in LA
Veterans often face unique trauma stemming from combat, service-related injuries, or reintegration challenges. At Totality Treatment, we’re proud to serve those who have served. Our veteran-focused programs provide:
- Trauma-informed therapy aligned with military culture
- EMDR and CBT adapted for combat-related trauma
- Veteran peer groups for shared understanding and solidarity
- Coordinated care with VA systems when needed
Our goal is to ensure that veterans not only feel understood but also equipped to regain peace, purpose, and stability.
The Importance of a Healing Environment
We’ve designed our Los Angeles facility to be more than just a clinic—it’s a sanctuary for healing. With modern amenities, private therapy spaces, and tranquil relaxation areas, our environment helps clients feel at ease and focused on recovery.
We also offer virtual options for clients who prefer the convenience of telehealth, including secure video therapy, online group sessions, and virtual psychiatric care. No matter where you are in LA—or across California—you can access high-quality PTSD treatment.
How to Know If You Need Help for PTSD

- Avoid certain places or conversations because of past trauma
- Experience distressing flashbacks or intrusive memories
- Have trouble sleeping due to nightmares or hypervigilance
- Feel detached from others or emotionally numb
- Use substances or unhealthy behaviors to cope
