Trauma-Focused Therapy

We partner with trauma-informed therapists trained in:

• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

• Trauma-Focused CBT

• Exposure-based therapies

 

Therapy helps retrain the brain’s fear response and reduce reactivity to trauma memories.

​

Medication Management

Certain medications can reduce PTSD symptoms such as:

• Nightmares

• Hypervigilance

• Depression

• Severe anxiety

 

SSRIs and SNRIs are commonly used. In some cases, prazosin may help with trauma-related nightmares.

All medication decisions are collaborative and tailored to your goals.

​

Ketamine Therapy for PTSD

For individuals with treatment-resistant PTSD, ketamine therapy may be considered.

Ketamine works differently from traditional antidepressants. It targets glutamate pathways in the brain and can:

• Reduce intrusive thoughts

• Decrease suicidal ideation

• Improve mood regulation

• Create a window for trauma processing

 

At Pine Ridge, we offer:

• Oral ketamine protocols

• Esketamine (Spravato®) when appropriate

 

All treatments follow strict safety and monitoring guidelines.

​
