About Trauma

Trauma encompasses a wide range of adverse experiences including childhood abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, accidents, natural disasters, and combat. Trauma-informed therapists use EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, CPT, and trauma-focused CBT. A psychiatrist can assess for PTSD, depression, and anxiety that develop following trauma and prescribe appropriate medications.

Trauma is highly treatable with the right care. UHC covers trauma treatment at Lyte Psychiatry under its mental health benefit.
