Have you ever experienced an anxiety attack? If you have, you know what it is and never want it to happen again. However, if you have post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, anxiety attacks can become commonplace, unfortunately. Whether you are a Veteran or someone who has witnessed or experienced a traumatic episode, PTSD is a debilitating disorder that can wreak havoc with your life in many ways. Luckily, Elon has some of the top psychologists in the state who can help.
Elon was founded int 1881 as a railroad depot and was called Mill Point at the time due to the cotton mills. The town was later changed to Elon for the Hebrew word for oak since it contained so many oak trees. They still have a lot of oak trees and they also have a lot of psychologists who can help you with your PTSD. Talk to one of them today about treatment.

Robbie Singh
Hi, I’m Robbie! I help individuals who want to work on themselves to improve their relationship with their partner breaking through dysfunctional patterns without having to engage in couples therapy. My clients struggle as you do. Despite being highly intelligent, ambitious and deeply caring adults, life is hard. When they first come in, they are troubled in their interpersonal relationships with their partners. They have personally reached a breaking point or have received an ultimatum that threatens the relationship that they are in and want to be in. They notice something in their behavior that comes up as a pattern and it worries them that they have no control over it because they have tried to resolve it on their own and have gotten little to no results. This either leads to some feelings of hopelessness or reflection where they start researching intentionally and start to draw some connection into their past. They start to intellectualize the process and look for ways to deal with the problem behavior by treating it as a thinking problem. They read books on the subject of psychology, read articles to self diagnose what they may be perceiving in a desperate attempt to get greater understanding of why the problem is problem. Some of my clients even see therapists as a next step whom they feel were helpful to talk to but feel that the root of the problem remains; exacerbating the problem further where it then turns into demoralization and hopelessness. Their emotional responses get in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t the kind of partner they want to be. They feel like they’re failing at connecting with themselves and their emotional needs as individuals. And their confidence in establishing boundaries and communicating their needs is tanking. Before they came to see me, clients are concerned that they may not be understood by the therapist or the approach that is being used in therapy will not resonate with their situation. They are worried about navigating the relationships that cause them stress because they are so preoccupied by them. And they are pretty certain that there is a underlying patterns that links between the symptoms they are experiencing now and what they experienced as a child. Attachment trauma can feel overwhelming when it comes to developing healthy relationships. Like my clients, you deserve to feel present and at ease in the moment that you find yourself in right now. Finding balance in your interpersonal relationships is not out of your reach. If you want to cultivate a new way of thinking and living in order to redefine the relationship you have with yourself, I’d love to help you get there. You don’t have to suffer. I can help.

As a systemic therapist, I empathize with the struggles of individuals, couples, and families as they strive to strengthen their relationships with themselves and with those who matter most to them. I provide individual therapy for a diverse range of issues. Whether it's childhood or relational trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, or challenges in adjusting to life transitions, I am here to support you. I also work with couples struggling to connect in their relationships and marriages—couples who find themselves at odds more often than not, who feel they're always in conflict, and are unable to communicate without arguing. Those who feel disconnected in their marriage and want to increase their friendship, intimacy, fondness, and admiration for one another. I also support couples who feel stuck trying to move forward following an experience with infidelity or betrayal. I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel free to be yourself, be present in your mind and body, and actively participate in your healing journey. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started!
