PTSD and Trauma Care in Akron, OH
PTSD and trauma care in Akron means a judgment-free zone where you can feel safe and understood, at whatever pace you are ready to work at.
How We Address PTSD and Trauma at Monet Behavioral Health Center
Trauma affects people differently, and there is no single right way to work through it. Carlita's goal is to build a trusting relationship with you while providing personalized and compassionate care. She offers a judgment-free zone where you can feel safe and understood as you work together on a plan that fits what you have been through.
Care often combines trauma-focused therapy with medication management when symptoms like sleep disruption, hypervigilance or mood swings are part of the picture. Nothing moves faster than you are ready for.
Trauma does not always come from one clear event. Ongoing stress, a difficult childhood, or something you have never fully named to anyone before all belong in this conversation just as much as a single incident does.
Trauma-Focused Therapy
Trauma-focused therapy is a core part of PTSD and trauma care here, built to address how trauma continues to affect your thoughts, mood and body in the present, not to force you to relive events before you are ready. Sessions are led by what you bring in that day, and you and Carlita set the pace together.
What Your First Visit Looks Like
Your first appointment is a 60-minute psychiatric evaluation. You share as much or as little detail as feels right that day. Follow-up visits run 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, and at least 24 hours notice is needed to reschedule.
If a topic feels like too much to bring up on the first visit, that is completely normal, and it is fine to say so directly rather than pushing through it before you are ready.
In Person in Akron or Online Across Ohio
Care is available at our Firestone Park office in south Akron or by telehealth psychiatry across Ohio. Some patients find it easier to open up from the privacy of home, and telehealth works well for trauma-focused therapy for that reason, though the office is always available if a change of setting is what you need instead.
Insurance We Accept
We accept Aetna, Anthem, BlueCross and BlueShield, CareSource, Cigna and Evernorth, Humana, Medicaid, Medicare, Molina Healthcare and Optum. If we are not in-network with your plan, we can provide a superbill for you to submit for possible reimbursement. See the full breakdown on Medicaid, Medicare and the plans we accept.
Questions Patients Ask
Do I have to talk about what happened at my first visit?
No. You set the pace. The first visit is about understanding your symptoms and history at whatever level of detail feels safe to you that day, and it is fine to say a topic is not something you are ready to discuss yet.
Is telehealth suitable for trauma care?
Yes. Many patients find it easier to talk from a familiar, private space at home, and trauma-focused therapy works well by secure video. You can always start online and move to in-person later if that feels better.
Is my information private?
Yes. See our Privacy and HIPAA Notice for how your information is handled and protected, both on this website and in your clinical record once you become a patient.
