Traumatic Accident Recovery Counseling Based in Jacksonville, FL
Experiencing an accident can be life-changing, impacting not only your physical health but also your emotional and mental well-being. At River Shores Counseling in Jacksonville, FL, we are here to support you through the recovery journey. Our specialized trauma therapy helps you process the aftermath, regain control, and rebuild your sense of security.
How Counseling Supports Trauma Recovery
The effects of a traumatic event can extend well beyond physical injuries, often leading to emotional challenges such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and hypervigilance. Many individuals find themselves struggling with intrusive memories, sleep disturbances, or avoidance behaviors that interfere with daily life. We help you address these effects through compassionate, trauma-informed counseling and guide you toward a healing path.
Benefits of PTSD Counseling
Emotional Processing and Healing
Our therapists create a safe space for you to process the emotional impact of the accident. Through supportive conversation and evidence-based techniques, we help you understand and work through complicated feelings, reducing symptoms such as fear, anger, and sadness.
Reducing PTSD Symptoms
Trauma-focused therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), helps reduce symptoms of PTSD by addressing negative thoughts, intrusive memories, and flashbacks. These techniques support emotional healing, improve sleep, and allow you to reclaim your life.
Rebuilding a Sense of Safety
Many crash survivors feel unsafe or overly vigilant in daily situations. Our trauma counselors work with you to restore a sense of security and confidence, helping you manage triggers and anxieties that can arise in everyday settings.
Increasing Resilience and Coping Skills
We teach practical coping strategies to help you handle stress and build resilience. These skills allow you to regain confidence and gradually reintegrate into your routines with renewed control and peace.

We combine proven therapeutic methods with a personalized approach, ensuring your treatment aligns with your unique experiences and goals.

Accident Victims: Ask Yourself These Questions
Have you recently suffered a traumatic accident and are experiencing symptoms that are getting in the way of enjoying life?
Have you recently been in a car accident and fear getting back on the road?
Are you experiencing severe anxiety and panic attacks since the accident?
Have you been bothered by insomnia, nightmares and/or flashbacks to the accident when awake?
Is your fear of driving or resuming other accident related activities getting in the way of your life?
YOU ARE NOT CRAZY. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO JUST “LIVE WITH” YOUR SYMPTOMS. YOU ARE NOT WEAK. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO AVOID ACTIVITIES YOU ONCE LOVED.
Did You Know?
In the United States, millions of car accidents occur every year. Being involved in one such incident can lead to a spectrum of negative feelings. It would be completely understandable for you to feel shocked, nervous, angry, guilty, afraid, or even have trouble believing it actually happened.
If you have been in an accident, chances are you have gone through some or all of the feelings described above. Usually, with time, these overwhelming emotions subside and go away after the accident.
However, in many cases, these feelings of fear and anxiety can persist and get stronger with time. Anxiety about driving, nightmares, or troubles falling asleep, ongoing memories of the accident, etc. can indicate that what you're feeling is not normal, and these can be signs of PTSD.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a stress reaction in which you have trouble coping and recovering from a traumatic incident. PTSD is extremely common following car accidents. It can become a troublesome condition that can interfere with your day to day life.
Fortunately, there are a number of effective treatments that you can use to overcome your trauma. If you or your loved one does not receive the right support and treatment for your symptoms, recovery from posttraumatic stress disorder will be difficult to achieve.
At Personal Injury Counseling Services we have been helping men, women and children quickly and permanently recover from trauma symptoms related to accidents and we can help you too.
We offer a free and confidential 15 minute consult to all potential clients. It gives us a chance to learn about your personal situation and help you come up with the best plan of action. Accident related services are available in-person at our Jacksonville location and online throughout the United States.
