Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services
What is a trauma psychiatrist?
A trauma psychiatrist is a medical doctor specializing in the biological and psychological treatment of trauma-related conditions like PTSD. Unlike therapists, trauma psychiatrists can prescribe medications to help manage symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and anxiety. They often work alongside trauma therapists to provide comprehensive care.
What medications help with PTSD and trauma?
Several medications are FDA-approved or commonly used for PTSD treatment. These include SSRIs like sertraline (Zoloft) and paroxetine (Paxil), prazosin for nightmares, and other medications to address specific symptoms. Your trauma psychiatrist will work with you to find the right medication approach based on your specific symptoms and needs.
Do I need both a trauma psychiatrist and a therapist?
Many trauma survivors benefit from both psychiatric medication management and trauma-focused therapy (like EMDR or CPT). The psychiatrist addresses the biological aspects of trauma, while the therapist helps process traumatic memories. At Empathy Health Clinic, we offer both services and can coordinate your care.
How do I know if I have PTSD or trauma symptoms?
Common signs include intrusive memories or flashbacks, nightmares, avoiding reminders of the trauma, feeling on edge or easily startled, emotional numbness, and difficulty sleeping or concentrating. If you've experienced a traumatic event and have ongoing symptoms affecting your daily life, a trauma psychiatrist can provide a proper evaluation.
Do you accept insurance for trauma psychiatry?
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Humana. Our team will verify your mental health benefits before your appointment.
