Flashbacks or nightmares, overwhelming fear and anxiety, panic attacks, depression, shame, guilt, problems regulating emotions, difficulty forming connections and managing relationships
Impulsive and reckless behavior, violence or aggression, substance abuse, self-harm behaviors, suicidal thoughts
Complex PTSD inpatient treatment provides 24-hour care for individuals with complex trauma. We offer trauma-focused therapy for adults such as Trauma-Focused CBT, EMDR, & Accelerated Resolution.
Our PHP provides clients with intensive therapy while allowing them to return to the comfort of their homes in the evening. Our PHP gradually helps clients re-engage with their community, prepare for employment, and successfully re-enter school.
Our IOP provides flexibility so clients can continue their daily routines such as work or school. Trauma-informed therapists licensed in EMDR, CBT, DBT & ART can tailor therapies to the individual needs of each client.
Our family program helps clients stay in touch with family and build a support system. Clients who have complex trauma may struggle with relationships. Having loved ones as part of the healing process can make treatment outcomes for trauma more successful.
Coping skills for Complex PTSD that clients will learn during treatment at Corner Canyon could include mindfulness, deep breathing exercises, self-care routines and grounding techniques such as yoga and meditation.
We offer trauma-focused therapies tailored to the unique needs of each client we serve to help create the best plan of treatment. Some of the trauma specific services we offer include EMDR, Accelerated Resolution, trauma-focused CBT and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
There are a number of symptoms of complex trauma that can manifest as both mental and physical health problems. These could include, but are not limited to, anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, flashbacks or nightmares, stomachaches, headaches, muscle & joint pain, substance abuse and self-harm.
There is no quick fix for Complex PTSD and it is usually a lifelong condition. However, with proper treatment and a support system clients can learn to manage symptoms and live a happy and healthy life.
We are specifically formulated to offer personalized therapeutic interventions to adult individuals with mental health disorders.
We provide a comprehensive Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) that offers clients the opportunity to attend group therapy sessions three to five times a week.
