Professional Psychiatric Care for PTSD

PTSD develops after exposure to traumatic events such as accidents, violence, combat, natural disasters or prolonged stress. Research indicates that approximately 6% of the U.S. population experiences PTSD at some point in their lives.

At our location in the Hamptons, our PTSD psychiatrists conduct comprehensive evaluations to understand how trauma has affected your daily functioning. We examine symptom patterns, co-occurring conditions and treatment responses to develop a care plan suited to your needs.

Our Approach

We recognize that PTSD involves changes in brain chemistry and neural pathways, not personal weakness. Dr. Cohen and the team at Principium Psychiatry integrate multiple treatment modalities to address both the psychological and physiological effects of trauma:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Prolonged exposure (PE)
  • Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Ketamine therapy and SPRAVATO™ (esketamine) for treatment resistance
  • Mind-body integration and relapse prevention
  • Evidence-based medication management

Specialized Treatment for Treatment-Resistant PTSD in the Hamptons

For individuals facing treatment-resistant symptoms, we offer SPRAVATO™ and IV ketamine therapy as advanced interventions. Unlike traditional antidepressants that may take weeks to show effects, these treatments often produce improvements within days. We administer controlled doses to minimize side effects such as dissociation. It is usually short-lived and manageable under supervision.

Our PTSD therapists in the Hamptons and across Long Island also provide intensive outpatient programs for patients needing more structured support than weekly therapy.
