Why see a therapist who focuses on trauma and PTSD
Trauma is what stays with you after something overwhelming: an accident, an assault, a robbery, a violent home, a childhood you had to survive, or a loss that came too fast. Some people develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with flashbacks, nightmares, being on edge and avoiding anything that reminds them. Others just feel numb, angry or far away from everyone. Both are worth treating, and both are what the therapists here do.
Sessions are inside the Mytherapist.ng app, by video, voice or chat. For trauma work, video lets your therapist see when you need to slow down; chat gives some people the distance they need to say it at all. You choose, and you can change your mind. You book and pay in the app, and no one else is told.
This page suits you if an event keeps coming back when you do not want it to, if you avoid roads, places or people because of it, if you startle easily or cannot sleep, or if childhood is still shaping how you react now. It also suits people who have been told they are fine because the event was long ago. Trauma therapy does not require you to retell everything in the first meeting.
The first session is about safety and history, at your pace. Your therapist asks what brought you, what helps you feel steady, and what you want from the work. Then you agree a plan, which usually begins with skills for calming the body before approaching memories. Browse the therapists below to compare backgrounds and rates.

Good to know
Questions people ask about trauma and PTSD
Do I have to talk about what happened in detail?
Not at first, and not before you are ready. Good trauma therapy starts with helping you feel steady, then approaches the memory in a planned way. Some approaches let you work on the memory without describing every detail aloud. You set the pace and can stop at any point.
What is PTSD, and how is it treated?
PTSD is when the reaction to a frightening event does not fade after a month or more: reliving it, avoiding reminders, feeling on edge and feeling low or detached. Trauma-focused CBT and EMDR have the best evidence. Which one you get depends on the therapist's training, so check their profile or ask.
How long does trauma therapy take?
A single event often responds within eight to sixteen sessions. Repeated or childhood trauma usually takes longer, and the work goes in phases. Your therapist will tell you what to expect once they know your story.
Is it confidential?
Yes, with one limit. What you tell your therapist stays between you. The exception is a risk to life: if your therapist believes there's a real and immediate risk of serious harm to you or to someone else, including a child, they may need to act on it. That can mean contacting emergency services or someone who can reach you. They'll tell you when they're doing this, wherever it's safe to.
Can therapy help if the trauma was years ago?
Yes. The time since the event matters less than how it still affects you now. Many people start trauma therapy decades later, after a trigger brings it back, and still improve.
How much does it cost?
Each therapist sets their own rate, from ₦5,000 a session. Some therapists offer a student rate or a free first consultation, and it shows on their profile below.
