Radiant Path Therapy and Psychiatry · THERAPY SERVICES
A sudden noise or a single memory can still make your body react as if danger is close, long after the trauma has passed. That reaction is PTSD, and it responds well to treatment. Radiant Path Therapy and Psychiatry provides PTSD treatment in Redlands that helps clients feel safe in their own body and around the people they love again.
01 / Therapy & psychiatry
Treatment is recommended when symptoms like these continue after a traumatic event and begin to affect relationships and responsibilities.
02 / Therapy & psychiatry
Each type of trauma affects people differently, so our team adjusts the pace and approach of treatment to the experience behind each client's PTSD.
03 / Therapy & psychiatry
Trauma can lead to conditions closely related to PTSD, and our team treats each one according to its own symptoms and needs.
01
Repeated or long-term trauma, such as ongoing childhood abuse, can lead to complex PTSD and deep struggles with trust and self-worth. Our team treats these struggles through therapy and psychiatric support together.
02
Symptoms that appear soon after a traumatic event may point to acute stress disorder. Early treatment from our therapists and psychiatrists lowers the chance of these symptoms developing into PTSD.
03
Alcohol or drugs can quiet painful memories briefly, but they make both problems worse over time. Our dual diagnosis treatment addresses PTSD and substance use together, with Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) available when needed.
04 / Therapy & psychiatry
Starting PTSD treatment involves three clear steps, and you stay involved in every decision about your care, so nothing moves forward without your agreement.
During a short call, clients ask questions about treatment, and our team recommends whether to begin with a therapist, a psychiatrist, or both.
The assessment looks at current symptoms, daily functioning, and any co-occurring conditions to reach a clear PTSD diagnosis and set the goals of treatment.
Therapists teach grounding skills while psychiatrists treat severe symptoms, creating a stable base before work on traumatic memories begins.
05 / Therapy & psychiatry
Our PTSD counseling includes several therapy methods, and our therapist recommends the one best suited to your symptoms and comfort level.
01
Our EMDR therapists use bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, to help reprocess traumatic memories. Therapy sessions continue until a memory no longer brings the same physical distress.
02
Cognitive behavioral therapy for PTSD targets beliefs like self-blame or feeling permanently damaged. It also teaches practical coping skills to manage strong reactions between treatment sessions.
03
With support from our exposure therapist, you gradually approach memories and situations you have avoided since the trauma. With practice, these reminders bring far less fear.
04
Brainspotting uses focused eye positions to process distressing memories and the body reactions linked to them. It often feels easier for people who struggle to talk about their trauma.
06 / Therapy & psychiatry
When symptoms are too strong for therapy alone, our PTSD psychiatrist on our team adds medical treatment to your care.
01
Nightmares and broken sleep make it hard to benefit from therapy. Our psychiatrists treat these sleep problems directly, which often eases daytime symptoms as well.
02
Persistent anxiety, irritability, or low mood can be treated with medication for PTSD from our psychiatrists. Each prescription is reviewed at regular appointments and adjusted as symptoms improve.
07 / Therapy & psychiatry
You can step up to more support during a hard period and step back down as you recover, all within our practice and with no gap in treatment.
01
Our outpatient treatment for PTSD includes regular therapy and psychiatric appointments for those whose symptoms are manageable between sessions. Most people begin their treatment at this level of care.
02
Structured trauma therapy in our IOP takes place on several days each week, offering more focused support than outpatient sessions when symptoms become harder to control at home.
03
PHP offers full days of trauma treatment and psychiatric support for adults and teens facing severe symptoms or a recent crisis, without the need for an overnight hospital stay.
08 / Therapy & psychiatry
Our online treatment for PTSD reaches you anywhere in California through secure video sessions. Telehealth therapy and telepsychiatry appointments, including medication follow-ups, take place from home, where many people with trauma feel most at ease. Skipping a crowded waiting room or a stressful drive also makes it easier to stay consistent with mental health care.
09 / Therapy & psychiatry
PTSD shows up differently in adults and teens, so care follows each person's age and situation.
01
For adults, PTSD can affect work and parenting. Care also reflects how signs of PTSD in women and men differ, and couples therapy is available when trauma strains a relationship.
02
In teens, PTSD often looks like anger, falling grades, or pulling away from friends. Parents take part in treatment, while the teen keeps a private space to speak openly with our team.
10 / Therapy & psychiatry
Before treatment ends, you receive a relapse prevention plan. It lists your early warning signs and the skills that worked best for you, so you know exactly what to do if symptoms start to return. Follow-up appointments with our team remain open afterward.
If symptoms suddenly get worse, our team sees you the same day you call. The therapist adds extra sessions and the psychiatrist reviews your symptoms when needed, so a difficult period is treated before it becomes a crisis.

Yes. PTSD can begin or return well after the original event, and our therapists treat older trauma with the same methods used for recent experiences.
Yes, in many cases. After completing treatment, many people no longer have PTSD at all. If a few symptoms remain, our team keeps supporting you so they stay mild and easy to manage.
Yes. Most people keep working while in outpatient care. If you join IOP or PHP, our team helps you decide whether a short break from work would help your recovery.
