Question 1

Do I have to be ready to talk about what happened?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

What kinds of therapy are used for PTSD?

Accepted Answer

On Alma, profiles of therapists in Oswego list the methods each one uses.

Question 3

Do I have to talk about details in the first session?

Accepted Answer

It makes sense to worry about what a first session will ask of you.

Read profiles of therapists in Oswego who treat Trauma and PTSD before you book.

Accepted Answer

If format matters for feeling safe, online sessions are worth looking at. Each provider profile in Oswego on Alma shows whether a therapist offers virtual sessions, in-person visits, or both. If you are not sure which would suit you, ask a therapist how they run online sessions before you book.

Question 8

Question 10

What if the first therapist I see for Trauma is not the right fit?
