- Daytime fatigue from poor sleep
Our approach
How we help
We address nightmares as part of the larger trauma picture, not in isolation.
Using evidence-based techniques such as imagery rehearsal therapy and EMDR, we help reduce the frequency and intensity of disturbing dreams and restore healthy sleep.
Better sleep often improves mood, focus, and overall recovery.
Most people we see are managing this alongside physical recovery, insurance calls, and an open legal case. Sessions happen by secure video, so care fits around your other appointments instead of competing with them. And because we accept attorney and medical liens, cost isn't what decides whether you start.

Questions, answered
Common questions
Why do I have nightmares after a car accident?
Nightmares are a common way the mind tries to process a frightening event. They are often part of a broader trauma response and tend to improve with treatment.
Is it normal to have nightmares after a car accident?
Yes. Disturbing dreams and disrupted sleep are common after a crash. When they persist or affect your daily functioning, therapy can help.
How long do nightmares after a car accident last?
For some people they fade within weeks; for others they continue for months. Targeted treatment can shorten that course.
What therapy treats post-accident nightmares?
Imagery rehearsal therapy (IRT), EMDR, and trauma-focused CBT are commonly used to reduce nightmares and improve sleep.
Are nightmares a sign of PTSD after a car accident?
Nightmares can be one symptom of PTSD, alongside flashbacks, avoidance, and heightened alertness. An assessment can clarify what you're experiencing.
Can I do nightmare and sleep therapy online?
Yes. We provide this care by telehealth across the states we serve.
How does therapy on a lien work — do I pay anything upfront?
For patients with a personal-injury case, we accept attorney and medical liens, so there is $0 upfront. Your care is paid from your settlement when your case resolves. We'll explain exactly how it works in your first conversation.
Can therapy be paid from my injury settlement?
Yes. With a lien or letter of protection, the cost of your trauma therapy is deferred and paid from your personal-injury settlement, rather than out of pocket while your case is pending.
Which states do you serve for telehealth?
We provide telehealth therapy to residents of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Indiana, Michigan, Kansas, Kentucky, Florida, and Washington.
Is online trauma therapy as effective as in-person?
Research shows telehealth trauma therapy can be just as effective as in-person care for most people, while removing barriers like travel and time off work during recovery.
Can my attorney refer me for trauma therapy?
Yes. We work alongside personal-injury attorneys and medical providers who refer patients, and we coordinate care so the legal and clinical sides stay aligned.
