Specializes in Psychiatry

Seek professional: Help. Find a psychologist ; or psychiatrist who has specific expertise in the treatment of ptsd. Cognitive processing therapy is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy that is very effective. Virtual reality exposure therapy, desensitization ; emdr are also helpful forms of treatment.
