PTSDNJ is a New Jersey 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization founded in 2010 by Gita Patel, a licensed therapist located in Hackettstown, NJ specializing in trauma therapy, specifically with adult and child survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence.

When a body has been exposed to and is affected by a traumatic event(s) the connection of the body, mind and spirit can feel as if they have become disconnected. Our program combines holistic approachs to healing (including yoga, sound vibration and empowering movement exercises) with traditional therapeutic counseling techniques which effectively heal the debilitating effects of trauma and re-connects the body with the mind and spirit, using gentle, nurturing and empowering methods.

PTSDNJ has recently opened a center in Hackettstown, NJ and provides free and confidential group services for adults, adolscents and children who have been diagnosed with and/or are having difficulty managing the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and trauma symptoms.

Our specialized services are facilitated by exceptionally qualified licensed counselors, certified yoga instructors and therapeutic sound and movement instructors who have extensive experience in helping trauma survivors heal from their trauma symptoms, allowing them to maintain a healthy and thriving lifestyle.

Our client population is specialized to working with adults, adolescents and children who have experienced trauma, at any point in their life, due to:

Sexual Abuse
Domestic Violence
or
Vicariously witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event

As we grow our organization our services are expanding to provide treatment for military veterans who have been diagnosed with and are experiencing PTSD and/or trauma symptoms, as well as providing support for military families.
