Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can change how you see the world and yourself. You may feel constantly on edge, disconnected, or overwhelmed by flashbacks and triggers. But you are not broken.

We Are Here For You

Do I Have PTSD?

PTSD can stem from a wide range of experiences including military combat, assault, childhood abuse, medical trauma, accidents, or witnessing violence. It doesn’t matter how long ago it happened or how you compare it to others’ experiences. If it affects the way you live, it matters.

If you’ve been struggling with any of these, you deserve support that’s rooted in empathy, safety, and science.

Common Symptoms of PTSD Include:

  • Nightmares or intrusive thoughts about the traumatic event
  • Flashbacks or dissociation (feeling detached from reality)
  • Avoidance of reminders, people, or places connected to the trauma
  • Heightened startle response or constant hypervigilance
  • Emotional numbness, shame, or a sense of disconnection
  • Difficulty sleeping, concentrating, or regulating emotions
  • Persistent fear, guilt, anger, or sadness
  • Abusing substances to escape

Our Holistic Treatment

Our Trauma-Informed IOP for PTSD

Northstar’s mental health IOP is designed for individuals who need more than weekly therapy but don’t require inpatient care. It’s ideal for those ready to address trauma in a structured, supportive environment—while maintaining life outside of treatment.

What to Expect:

  • Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions with a licensed clinician trained in trauma and PTSD recovery
  • Group Therapy: Connect with others who understand the effects of trauma, reduce isolation, and practice relational healing
  • Evidence-Based Modalities: Including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Trauma-Focused CBT
  • Somatic & Mindfulness Work: Learn how to calm your nervous system and reconnect with your body in a safe, gradual way
  • Psychoeducation: Understand how trauma affects the brain and how recovery unfolds


Our licensed clinicians emphasize safety, choice, and collaboration. We’ll never push you to revisit trauma before you’re ready.

From the first time I walked into Northstar I was greeted by many smiling faces. Those faces turned into confidants that have made my sobriety successful. Each and every staff members priority is the well being of their clients. The past 6 weeks, I have learned so much about my allergy (alcohol) and coping skills on how to remain sober for today and tomorrow. I highly recommend Northstar Recovery.

Northstar has truly been a godsend. The staff is super friendly and takes time to learn everyone's name. They say good morning and make you feel welcomed. The groups are fantastic. They also offer yoga and sound healing groups. They explore different styles of recovery so that everyone can find what works for them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for help. There is a path to recovery and they will help you find yours.
