Which therapy is most effective for PTSD?

HomeQuestionsMental HealthPTSD TreatmentWhich therapy is most effective for PTSD?

Quick Answer

Three trauma-focused therapies have the strongest evidence: cognitive processing therapy (CPT), prolonged exposure (PE), and EMDR. All three are typically time-limited (about 12 sessions for CPT and PE) and work better than non-trauma-focused therapy for most patients. At Good Health NC we handle medication management in-house and refer you to a therapist trained in one of these approaches.
