Finding a Therapist

The PTSD treatments with the most evidence of their ability to resolve symptoms in a short timeframe are Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE). Their effects endure even at 5-10 year follow-up. Both are types of cognitive behavioral therapy and are designed to take about 12 sessions.

To find therapists who do these treatments, check the Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Therapist Finder, the Prolonged Exposure subsection of Psychology Today’s Therapist Finder, or the Cognitive Processing Therapy Provider Roster.
