UNDERSTANDING PTSD TREATMENT
What Is PTSD Treatment?
PTSD treatment is therapy that helps people process traumatic memories so they stop controlling daily life. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after a single event, such as a car accident, an assault, or a sudden loss, or after trauma that builds over months or years. Not everyone who lives through trauma develops PTSD, and needing help is not a sign of weakness.
Effective trauma treatment usually moves through three parts: stabilization, so your nervous system feels safer, processing, where you work through what happened with methods such as EMDR or trauma-focused CBT and integration, where you rebuild routines, relationships, and confidence. At PSG, trauma counseling is trauma-informed from the first session. You set the pace, and your therapist explains each step before you begin.

HOW WE HELP
Trauma Therapy and PTSD Counseling Muncie Indiana
Psychological Services Group offers trauma therapy and PTSD counseling for adults and older teens living with PTSD symptoms or the lasting effects of painful experiences. Some clients come to us soon after a traumatic event; others have carried it for years and are ready to work through it.
Every trauma therapist on our team works from an evidence-based, trauma-informed model, and your plan is built around your history, symptoms, and goals. Our care is led by Dr. Robyn (Nikki) Eubank, a psychologist, certified EMDRIA therapist, and EMDRIA Approved Consultant. Our PTSD treatment options include:
EMDR therapy:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming Led by an EMDRIA Approved Consultant.
EMDR intensives:
EMDR intensives deliver focused EMDR in half-day, full-day, or multi-day packages instead of weekly appointments, for people who want concentrated trauma work in a shorter time frame.
Group Therapy
Therapist-led groups add connection and shared coping skills alongside individual therapy, so you can hear from others who understand what recovery feels like.
SUPPORT FOR WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH
PTSD Symptoms Our Trauma Therapists Help With
Symptoms of PTSD can show up weeks, months, or even years after a traumatic event, and they often affect sleep, work, and relationships before people connect them to trauma. Our trauma counselors work with the concerns people bring to therapy most often:
Flashbacks & Intrusive Memories
Unwanted images, sounds, or body sensations that make it feel like the event is happening again, sometimes out of nowhere and sometimes after a clear reminder.
Avoidance
Steering clear of places, people, conversations, or feelings that remind you of what happened, until your world starts to feel smaller.
Triggers & Strong Reactions
Sudden fear, anger, guilt, or panic set off by reminders you may not notice at first, such as a smell, a sound, or a date.
Effects of Past or Repeated Trauma
Patterns rooted in childhood trauma or long-term difficult experiences that still shape trust, relationships, and the way you see yourself.
Nightmares & Sleep Problems
Disturbing dreams, trouble falling or staying asleep, and waking up tense or exhausted, which makes every other symptom harder to manage.
Avoidance
Steering clear of places, people, conversations, or feelings that remind you of what happened, until your world starts to feel smaller.
Emotional Numbness
Feeling detached, flat, or cut off from people and activities you used to care about, or struggling to feel positive emotions at all.
Physical Stress Symptoms
Muscle tension, headaches, a racing heart, or stomach problems that come with a nervous system stuck in alarm long after the danger has passed.

WHY TRAUMA-FOCUSED CARE MATTERS
PTSD Is Common, and It Is Treatable
Many people with post-traumatic stress disorder wait years before asking for help, often because they think they should handle it alone or that their experience was not "bad enough." PTSD is a recognized, treatable condition, and trauma-focused therapy gives recovery a structure, so healing from traumatic experiences does not depend on willpower. Here is how the main PTSD treatment options compare:
Support Type | What It Is | How Therapy Is Different |
|---|---|---|
Coping on your own | Avoiding reminders, staying busy, or pushing through without support. | Avoidance often keeps PTSD going. Therapy offers a safe, guided way to process what happened. |
EMDR therapy | Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, to reprocess distressing memories. | You do not need to describe every detail aloud. PSG's EMDR care is led by an EMDRIA Approved Consultant. |
Trauma-focused CBT | Structured therapy that targets trauma reminders and the unhelpful beliefs trauma can leave behind, such as guilt or feeling unsafe. | Builds practical skills to manage triggers and reduce avoidance, with a clear plan and measurable goals. |
Group therapy | Therapist-led groups where people with shared experiences support each other. | Adds connection and coping skills alongside individual therapy rather than replacing it. |
Medication alone | Prescribed by a medical provider to ease some PTSD symptoms, such as sleep problems or anxiety. | Therapy works on the memories and patterns behind symptoms. Medication and therapy can be combined with your doctor's guidance. |
EMDR intensives | Extended EMDR over several hours or consecutive days, in half-day, full-day, or multi-day packages. | Concentrated trauma work in a shorter time frame instead of spreading treatment across months of weekly sessions. |
Focused Trauma Work
EMDR Intensives for PTSD
EMDR intensives provide an extended, focused approach to processing traumatic experiences without relying exclusively on traditional weekly sessions. At Psychological Services Group (PSG), our EMDRIA-credentialed team combines preparation, stabilization, targeted trauma processing, and follow-up support to help you work toward meaningful progress at a pace that feels manageable.
Each intensive is personalized to your needs, treatment goals, and readiness for trauma processing. Choose a half-day, full-day, or multi-day format based on your clinical needs and scheduling preferences.
Half-day
Several focused hours
Full-day
A full day of EMDR
Multi-day
Consecutive days
EMDR Intensives May Suit People Who
EMDR intensives may be worth exploring if you:
✔️ Feel stuck after previous therapy.
✔️ Can commit to longer treatment sessions.
✔️ Want focused time to work through trauma.
✔️ Are ready to explore trauma with clinical support.
✔️ Prefer extended sessions over weekly appointments.
✔️ Want to address specific traumatic memories or symptoms.
Suitability for an intensive depends on your history, current symptoms, stability, support system, and treatment goals. An initial assessment helps determine whether this format is appropriate for you.

FOR PARTNERS AND LOVED ONES
When PTSD Affects the People Around You
Trauma rarely stays with one person. Partners and family members often feel the distance, irritability, or worry that PTSD brings home, and they may not know how to help.
PSG offers couples therapy with Molly Strauss, M.Ed., Ed.S., NCSP, to help partners rebuild communication and trust. Our group therapy includes a group for family members of first responders, and our first responder therapy supports police, firefighters, EMS, and their families.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about first responder therapy at Psychological Services Group.
How long does PTSD treatment take?
It depends on your history, symptoms, and goals. Some people work through a single traumatic event in a few months of weekly sessions, while others need longer. EMDR intensives are an option for people who want concentrated work in a shorter time frame.
Does PTSD ever go away?
Many people see their symptoms ease significantly with treatment, and some no longer meet the criteria for PTSD. Results differ from person to person, and your therapist will track your progress with you.
Do you treat teens with PTSD?
Yes. PSG provides therapy for teens 16 and older as well as adults. Call our office to discuss which clinician is the best fit.
What if I need help right now?
PSG is not a crisis service. If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911 if you are in immediate danger.
How much does PTSD therapy cost without insurance?
Private-pay sessions cost $125 to $200, depending on the clinician, session length, and type of therapy. There are no hidden fees, superbills are available, and you can request a Good Faith Estimate.
What are trauma-informed therapies and how do they work?
Trauma-informed therapy is an approach to care that recognizes how trauma affects the body and mind. Your therapist avoids retraumatizing you, explains each step, and gives you control over the pace. Trauma-focused methods such as EMDR and CBT are then used to treat the memories and symptoms directly.
Does insurance cover PTSD treatment?
PSG accepts United Healthcare, Anthem, Aetna, TRICARE, and IU Health. We are not credentialed with Medicaid or Medicare at this time. Please contact your insurer or our office to verify your coverage.
Is PTSD treatment confidential?
Yes. Sessions are protected under federal privacy law (HIPAA). Confidentiality has a few legal limits, such as immediate safety concerns, and your clinician will explain them before you begin.
How do I find a qualified trauma therapist in Muncie?
Look for a licensed clinician with specific trauma training, such as EMDRIA certification, who explains their approach clearly. PSG's trauma care is led by Dr. Robyn (Nikki) Eubank, a psychologist, certified EMDRIA therapist, and EMDRIA Approved Consultant.
Can I do PTSD therapy online?
Yes. PSG offers secure telehealth sessions as well as in-person care at our office at 3812 W Kilgore Ave in Muncie.
Do I have to talk about my trauma in detail?
No. You set the pace, and you will not be pushed to share more than you are ready to. With EMDR therapy, you do not need to describe every detail of a memory aloud.
What is the best treatment for PTSD?
Research supports trauma-focused therapies such as EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). At PSG, your therapist recommends a plan based on your symptoms, history, and goals, and adjusts it as you progress.
