Psychologist in the PTSD team

The PTSD team handles bundled pathways for PTSD in primary treatment and in addition our outpatient clinic also has the regional function for the entire Capital Region of Denmark. For the regional function there are special tasks such as treatment pathways for more complex issues, research and assessment.

We work manual-based with evidence-based methods using Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure, and always with a focus on what the individual patient needs. Our treatment is primarily individual, but we also have both a mindfulness group and an exposure group linked to the regional function. We also include relatives, including regular relative afternoons in groups. In addition, we offer sleep treatment both medically and therapeutically.

As part of the regional function there will also be ongoing opportunities for development tasks, such as teaching and disseminating. If you do not have training in Prolonged Exposure, this is provided, as we regularly arrange such training.

Psychiatric Center Ballerup hosts an internationally recognized research group in PTSD within the Competence Center for Transcultural Psychiatry, which collaborates with our Psychotherapeutic Outpatient Clinic on research, development and teaching under the research unit TREAT. Together the two outpatient clinics constitute the country's largest professional environment for trauma-related disorders.
