Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and trauma-related conditions affect millions of people — veterans, survivors of violence or abuse, accident survivors, first responders, people who have experienced medical crises, and many others whose experiences do not fit a neat category. Trauma is not defined by the event itself but by how it is experienced in the nervous system and stored in memory.

At Bright and Associates, we approach trauma with the depth of clinical expertise it deserves. Our trauma-informed therapists are trained in the most effective, evidence-based treatments available, and they bring both skill and extraordinary compassion to this work.
