Watch a Client’s Testimonial Video

Our client was referred to our practice by his attorney.  He had been involved in a workplace accident involving a forklift, which changed his life forever by crushing his foot and requiring complex surgery and medical procedures to save his limb.  His doctors reconstructed his foot using skin grafts and muscle transplants.  Not surprisingly, our client began showing signs of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and made the wise decision to reach out to his attorney’s office for suggestions.  After over a year of focused therapy, our client is much-improved and continues to progress day-by-day.  Here he is in his own words talking about his experience with Mental Pain and Trauma Centers:

We couldn’t be more happy for our client.  He has been working with his Therapist, Janet Snyder, for well over a year, and has made significant progress over that time.  Our client is a testament to results that can be achieved when referred to Mental Pain and Trauma Centers.

PTSD Symptoms Questionnaire: Dallas Mental Pain and Trauma Centers

Here is a resource for your teams to use as you encounter clients who may be showing signs or symptoms of mental trauma or PTSD.  Authored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (V.A.), The PTSD Checklist (PCL-5) is a 20 question PTSD questionnaire that can serve as a trusted guide to use in determining when a client should be recommended for evaluation by a mental health professional.

PTSD Questionnaire

PTSD Questionnaire Image

The PTSD questionnaire uses a number scale from 1 to 5 per question.  Any total score over 33, according the VA, would be cause for referral to a mental health professional.  For our purposes, a score of 20 or above is cause for concern.  A patient can suffer from significant mental anguish who doesn’t have a classic PTSD diagnosis.

Our team of mental health professionals here at Dallas Mental Pain and Trauma Centers use this brief PTSD questionnaire as patients come into our offices to get an initial idea of the level of anguish each patient is experiencing.  Additional testing is administered as warranted.  At Dallas Mental Pain and Trauma Centers, each patient is given individualized treatment for their trauma based on the assessments administered to help them recover from their emotional trauma.  We look forward to helping your clients.
