POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
PTSD can affect mood, sleep, relationships, concentration, emotional regulation, memory, and a person’s sense of safety long after danger has ended.
Trauma-focused psychotherapy is central to treatment for many patients. Avoidance can provide short-term relief while allowing PTSD to persist.
Written Exposure Therapy is a brief, structured, evidence-based trauma-focused psychotherapy for PTSD. CNY Psychiatry does not provide WET internally. We collaborate with WET-trained community therapists.
The patient’s therapist remains the therapist.
Ketamine has been studied independently as a potential treatment for PTSD, but IV ketamine is not FDA-approved for PTSD and the evidence base is smaller than for unipolar TRD.
CNY Psychiatry’s Ketamine + WET program coordinates IV ketamine treatment with WET sessions for selected patients. WET itself is established; the specific combined strategy remains evolving.
The goal is not to erase the past. It is to restore freedom in the present.
