Understanding PTSD and Trauma
PTSD develops in some people after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event — such as physical or sexual assault, accidents, natural disasters, combat, childhood abuse, or the sudden loss of a loved one. Symptoms typically fall into four clusters: intrusive memories (flashbacks, nightmares), avoidance of trauma reminders, negative changes in mood and thinking, and heightened arousal (hypervigilance, sleep disturbance, irritability).
Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) can develop after prolonged or repeated trauma, such as childhood neglect or abuse, domestic violence, or long-term captivity. In addition to core PTSD symptoms, C-PTSD often involves difficulties with emotional regulation, a distorted sense of self, and challenges in relationships. Both PTSD and C-PTSD are treatable conditions — with the right support, many people experience significant improvement in symptoms and quality of life.
If you are a Tewksbury resident experiencing symptoms of PTSD or trauma — including flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, or avoidance — a psychiatric evaluation is the first step toward effective care. Call (617) 419-0482 or book online to schedule your evaluation.
Trauma-Informed Psychiatric Care for Tewksbury Patients
Trauma-informed care means that every aspect of your treatment — from how we ask questions to how we structure your appointments — is designed with an understanding of how trauma affects the mind and body. At RayMex Wellness, we prioritize safety, trust, and collaboration. You are never pressured to share more than you are ready to share, and your treatment plan is developed with you, not for you.
Our psychiatric evaluation for PTSD includes a thorough review of your trauma history (at your own pace), current symptoms, prior diagnoses and treatments, medications, sleep, and any co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, or substance use. We use validated screening tools including the PCL-5 (PTSD Checklist) to guide assessment. Based on your evaluation, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, referral to a trauma-focused therapist, or both.
Evidence-based medications for PTSD include SSRIs (sertraline, paroxetine — FDA-approved for PTSD) and SNRIs (venlafaxine), which can reduce intrusive symptoms, avoidance, and hyperarousal. Prazosin may be used for trauma-related nightmares. Medication is often most effective when combined with trauma-focused psychotherapy such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) or Prolonged Exposure (PE). We can coordinate with your therapist to ensure your care is integrated.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PTSD and how is it diagnosed?
PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) is a psychiatric condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Diagnosis is based on DSM-5-TR criteria and requires the presence of intrusive symptoms (flashbacks, nightmares), avoidance, negative changes in mood and cognition, and heightened arousal — lasting more than one month and causing significant distress or impairment. A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation by a qualified clinician is required for diagnosis.

What medications are used to treat PTSD?
FDA-approved medications for PTSD include sertraline (Zoloft) and paroxetine (Paxil), both SSRIs. Venlafaxine (Effexor), an SNRI, is also commonly used. Prazosin may be prescribed for trauma-related nightmares. Your provider will discuss all options, expected benefits, and side effects before prescribing anything. Medication is often most effective when combined with trauma-focused psychotherapy.
