Evidence-Based Care for PTSD in Massachusetts

As a behavioral health center offering trauma-focused care in Norwood, MA, Grand Rising  provides EMDR, CBT, DBT skills, and medication support within Day Treatment, Structured Outpatient Program & Standard 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

You shouldn’t have to choose between work, school, or family responsibilities and getting better. Our outpatient continuum lets you step in where you need and step down as symptoms improve.

Day Treatment Program

5 days a week
approx 5 hours a day

Our most structured outpatient level of care. Day Treatment blends group therapy, individual sessions, and psychiatric services into a full daily schedule — built for adults who need the daily rhythm to stabilize after a hospitalization, during a behavioral health crisis, or when session-based therapy hasn't held.

Program components

Group and individual therapy woven into every day

Psychiatric services delivered inside the program

CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care

In-person at our Norwood campus or via telehealth

Structured Outpatient Program

3–5 days a week
approx 3 hours a day

Programming designed for adults transitioning toward greater independence while still needing consistent clinical support. This is where most of our clients spend the longest stretch of treatment — stepping down from Day Treatment or stepping up from session-based therapy that isn't enough on its own.

Program components

Group and individual work at a lower daily intensity

Same psychiatric services and modalities as Day Treatment

Designed to fit alongside part-time work or phased return

In-person or via telehealth

Standard Outpatient

1 day a week
approx 1–3 hours a day

A short-term step-down phase after a structured program — focused on reinforcing the skills you built and handing off to your long-term community provider. It isn't an entry point and it isn't ongoing therapy. Admission to our programming goes through Day Treatment or Structured Outpatient first.

Program components

Short, time-limited transition phase

Reinforces coping and regulation skills

Supports handoff to a community outpatient provider

Available to clients who've completed a structured program with us

FAQs about PTSD Treatment Services in Massachusetts

What therapies are most effective for PTSD?

Evidence-based options include EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, and structured exposure approaches. We pair these with DBT-based skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness. Your plan is individualized after assessment.

What’s the difference between Day Treatment, Structured Outpatient Program & Standard Outpatient?

Day Treatment is a full-day, short-term program for stabilization and skill-building. Structured Outpatient Program meets several days per week for a few hours, ideal for step-down or when weekly therapy isn’t enough. Standard Outpatient is typically weekly and focuses on maintaining gains.

Can I do PTSD treatment via telehealth if I live in Massachusetts?

Yes, eligible MA residents can participate via secure video for groups and individual sessions. We’ll confirm technology and privacy needs during your intake.

How does out-of-network insurance work?

If you have out-of-network benefits (such as a PPO plan), your insurance plan may provide reimbursement for services.

Grand Rising Behavioral Health verifies your benefits and submits claims on your behalf. Reimbursement, if approved, is paid directly to Grand Rising Behavioral Health.

Depending on your insurance benefits, you may be responsible for certain out-of-pocket costs, such as deductibles or coinsurance. Our team will help you understand your expected estimated costs before services begin.

How soon will I start to feel better?

Timelines vary. Many patients notice early changes such as improved sleep or reduced anxiety as skills and routines take hold. Your treatment plan is individualized, and different therapeutic approaches may be incorporated over time based on your needs and progress.

What if I also have anxiety or depression?

We screen for co-occurring conditions, treat what’s appropriate in our setting, and coordinate referrals if you need specialized or higher-level care.
