AREAS OF TREATMENT
Specialized Care for Trauma, Stress & Recovery
Therapy for experiences that don't always resolve simply because the crisis has passed. Dr. Andreski provides evidence-based treatment for adults navigating trauma, psychological distress, and the lasting effects of high-stress experiences.
Treatment for traumatic experiences and persistent symptoms including intrusive memories, avoidance, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, and changes in mood or behavior.
Specialized support for the cumulative psychological impact of careers that require repeated exposure to crisis, danger, responsibility, or human suffering.
Treatment for persistent worry, heightened alertness, panic, fear, and anxiety that begins interfering with work, relationships, sleep, or everyday life.
Clinical treatment for persistent low mood, loss of interest, isolation, hopelessness, exhaustion, and other symptoms of depression.
Support for the psychological effects of serious injury, medical crises, physical recovery, changes in ability, and experiences that alter a person's sense of safety or independence.
Therapy for significant loss and life experiences that disrupt identity, relationships, purpose, or a person's understanding of what comes next.
Support for the ways trauma, chronic stress, emotional withdrawal, hypervigilance, and survival responses can affect connection with others.
Treatment for prolonged stress, emotional exhaustion, detachment, and difficulty recovering from demanding professional or personal responsibilities.
