Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy in Los Angeles
I have been trained in Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy by the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety at the Perelman School of Medicine (UPenn).
PE is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment for chronic PTSD and related symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and anger. Because trauma often leads people to avoid reminders of what happened, PE helps reduce fear by supporting clients in gradually confronting trauma-related memories and situations in a safe, structured way.
PE is one of the most studied psychotherapeutic interventions for PTSD and is empirically validated.
Developed over more than 30 years of research and clinical practice, PE has been successfully applied across diverse trauma populations and can be used safely with complex clinical presentations and comorbidities.
PE is typically delivered over eight to fifteen weekly sessions lasting 60 to 120 minutes. Through repeated, supported exposure and processing, clients experience significant symptom reduction, with approximately 80 percent showing meaningful improvement.
