Evidence-Based Care for PTSD in Massachusetts

As an outpatient mental health center offering trauma-focused care in Norwood, MA, Grand Rising Behavioral Health provides EMDR, CBT, DBT skills, and medication support within PHP, IOP, and outpatient levels of care.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

EMDR helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they feel less charged and intrusive. Sessions are structured and paced, using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, taps, or tones). You’ll learn stabilizing skills first, then target specific memories or triggers with your therapist when you’re ready.

Skills-Based CBT & DBT


CBT for PTSD builds practical tools to reframe trauma-related thoughts and, gradually, safely face avoided situations.

DBT skills (mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness) support steadier moods and reduce impulsive reactions.

Between-session homework helps these skills become habits in daily life.

Medication Management



For some, short- or long-term medications can reduce PTSD-related anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. Our prescribers evaluate fit, explain risks/benefits in plain language, and coordinate closely with your therapist so medication supports, not replaces, therapy.

Levels of Care That Fit Your Week

6-8 hours/day

Intensive Outpatient Program

3-5 days/week
3-4 hours/day

Focus Areas

Continued skills, gradual exposure work, relapse-prevention planning, and family involvement when helpful.

Good for

Step-down from PHP or when you need more than weekly therapy but less than full-day care.

5 days/week
60- 90 minute sessions
