PTSD Treatment in Denver

PTSD deserves straight answers

Post-traumatic stress disorder is common, treatable, and frequently tangled with depression — and people researching it deserve a page that tells the truth rather than stretching claims. So here is ours: our core PTSD services are psychiatric evaluation and medication management, delivered by a physician-led team. TMS is FDA-cleared for depression (including anxious depression), OCD, and adolescent depression — it is not FDA-cleared for PTSD, and any clinic implying otherwise is overreaching. Where TMS enters the PTSD conversation honestly is through the overlap: many people living with PTSD also meet criteria for depression, and when that depression hasn't responded to medication, FDA-cleared TMS becomes a real option for that part of the picture.

How we treat PTSD

Psychiatric evaluation. PTSD is a specific diagnosis with specific features — intrusive memories, avoidance, hypervigilance, sleep disruption — and it's regularly missed or mislabeled. A thorough evaluation maps what's actually going on, including the depression and anxiety that so often ride along, because the treatment plan depends on the whole picture.

Medication management. Evidence-based medication is a mainstay of PTSD care, particularly for sleep, mood, and anxiety symptoms. Our approach is the same here as everywhere: careful selection, patient titration, and real follow-up — with your prior medication history shaping the plan.

Treating the depression that travels with PTSD. When evaluation confirms co-occurring depression that hasn't responded adequately to antidepressants, the advanced-treatment menu opens for that diagnosis: FDA-cleared TMS therapy, and for treatment-resistant depression, certified SPRAVATO® (esketamine) treatment. Treating the depressive component well often changes daily life meaningfully for people carrying both conditions — while trauma-focused psychotherapy, which we'll help you connect with, addresses the trauma itself.

Coordination with therapy. Trauma-focused psychotherapy is central to PTSD recovery. We're a psychiatric and interventional clinic rather than a therapy practice, and we're direct about that too — our role is the medical side of your care, documented and coordinated so it works alongside the therapy relationship you have or build.
