Join a Groundbreaking PTSD Research Study at Emory Healthcare Veterans Program

A New Path Forward

Join a groundbreaking PTSD research study at Emory Healthcare Veterans Program

Combining cutting-edge science with trusted care for our nation’s heroes.

At the Emory Healthcare Veterans Program, we’re proud to lead the way in transforming mental health care for post-9/11 veterans and service members. We offer world-class, evidence-based care, and now we’re conducting a groundbreaking research study that could change the future of treatment for post-traumatic stress.

What’s the study about?

We are testing a powerful new approach that combines psychedelic-assisted therapy with Prolonged Exposure (PE)—a gold-standard treatment for post-traumatic stress.

PE therapy helps patients gradually confront trauma-related memories, feelings, and situations they’ve been avoiding. By safely revisiting these experiences with the guidance of a trained therapist, patients learn that the memories are not dangerous and that they can regain control over their lives. Over time, this process reduces fear, anxiety, and avoidance, supporting lasting recovery from trauma. When paired with psychedelic medicine under expert clinical supervision, early research suggests that healing can happen faster and more deeply.

Why this study could help you

  • Psychedelic-assisted therapy may improve emotional processing and engagement
  • PE is one of the most effective treatments for post-traumatic stress
  • The accelerated model means fewer sessions and faster relief
  • You’ll be in the care of an experienced, mission-driven clinical team

Who’s eligible?

You may qualify if you are:

  • A service member or veteran who has served at least one day past September 11, 2001.
