We Help People Living With PTSD
PTSD can make every part of life feel like a battlefield, even when nothing is happening.
We help people who feel stuck in the fallout of trauma: constantly tense, always scanning, easily triggered, and disconnected from the world around them.
What Daily Life With PTSD Feels Like
You want to feel normal again. But it’s like your body won’t let you.
You wake up tense.
You jump at noises.
You replay what happened even when you don’t want to.
You go numb in conversations, drifting like you’re not really there.
You can’t sleep, and when you do, the nightmares pull you back under.
“I feel like I’m always on edge.”
“I just want to stop reliving it.”
It’s like trying to live your life while holding your breath - you can’t relax, even for a moment.
Why You Feel This Way - And Why It Can Change
What you’re going through isn’t weakness. It’s your body protecting you.
When something terrifying or overwhelming happens, your system doesn’t just “move on.” It shifts into survival mode - and sometimes, it gets stuck there.
That’s why even tiny reminders can send your heart racing, your muscles tensing, or your mind shutting down.
It’s not that you’re choosing this.
It’s that your body learned the world wasn’t safe - and hasn’t stopped preparing for danger.
It’s like trying to drive with the parking brake still on. No matter how hard you push forward, your body keeps slamming on the brakes.
This response kept you safe back then.
But you don’t have to live this way now.
How Therapy Helps You Regain Peace
At Tranquilium Holistic Therapy & Wellness, therapy is where the cycle can finally shift.
We start by helping you feel steady in the present - teaching your body to calm down when fear surges, so you’re not ruled by flashbacks or panic.
Once you feel grounded, we gently work through the memories that keep pulling you back, so they stop hijacking your day.
This isn’t about forcing yourself to relive what happened.
It’s about helping your mind and body remember that it’s over - and you are safe now.
What Life Can Look Like After PTSD Stops Running It
You sleep through the night - and wake up rested.
Your shoulders loosen. Your breath comes easier.
You walk into a crowded room and feel steady instead of on guard.
You focus on work without flashbacks stealing your attention.
You enjoy quiet moments without scanning for what might go wrong.
You laugh more. You connect with people again.
And for the first time in a long time, you feel like your life is yours.
If you’re ready to start your journey to feel more in control, we’re here to help.

Meet Your Team
We started Tranquillium to help more people without endless waitlists or burned‑out therapists.
Our team is small on purpose: real humans who are present and attuned.
You’ll work with one therapist who truly knows your story — not a rotating roster or a rushed session.
We keep our caseloads sustainable so we can be fully there with you.
Every therapist at Tranquillium is trained in bottom-up approaches like EMDR, IFS, and Brainspotting - methods that reach the root of what’s happening instead of just managing symptoms.
We invite you to reach out so we can help you get started on the journey!
