PTSD & Trauma Psychiatry

Helping you process trauma, rebuild safety, and move forward with clarity

When the past feels too close — and your body remembers what your mind wants to forget

Trauma doesn’t always show up the way people expect. It isn’t just flashbacks or tears. Sometimes it’s sudden anger, numbness, guilt, or being constantly on edge. You might avoid reminders of a painful experience, only to feel it resurface in your sleep, your relationships, or your reactions to everyday stress. For many adults in Dubai, trauma lives quietly beneath the surface — hidden under busy routines, high performance, or emotional shutdown. At American Wellness Center, we offer confidential psychiatric care for PTSD and trauma-related disorders, with tailored support to help you heal in a safe and sustainable way.

You’re Not Alone If...

  • You avoid people, places, or memories connected to a traumatic event
  • You feel emotionally numb or disconnected from others
  • You’re always “on alert” or startle easily
  • You experience nightmares or unwanted flashbacks
  • You feel anger, shame, or guilt without clear reason
  • You’ve withdrawn from things you used to enjoy

What We Treat

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – Flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance after a traumatic event
  • Complex PTSD – Long-term trauma such as childhood abuse, neglect, or repeated emotional harm
  • Trauma from Accidents, Assault, or Loss – Support after sudden, life-threatening, or violent experiences
  • Sexual Trauma and Relationship-Based PTSD – Discreet care for abuse, assault, or unsafe emotional bonds
  • Emotional Dysregulation Linked to Trauma – Sudden anger, mood swings, or fear responses triggered by past events
  • Trauma with Depression, Anxiety, or ADHD – Integrated care when trauma symptoms overlap with other diagnoses

How We Help

We begin with a private consultation in Dubai to understand your symptoms, triggers, and history. You’re free to share only what you’re comfortable with — our team will guide the rest.
