Message to clients

Living with PTSD can feel overwhelming, like the joy has been drained from life, and the memories of past trauma(s) keep you trapped in a cycle of survival and avoidance. Your world may feel very small. There is hope, PTSD is a treatable condition, and healing is possible. With the right support and treatment, you can reclaim your life, rediscover joy, and step back into a world full of possibilities. Recovery is a journey, but you don’t have to walk it alone. I'm Dr. Allison Aosved and I specialize in supporting clients to heal from trauma and related PTSD. I provide brief, evidence based, individually tailored, and culturally responsive therapy using the most effective treatment for processing emotions related to trauma: Prolonged Exposure (PE).
