What Is PTSD & Trauma?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD is a serious mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event — such as combat, sexual assault, a serious accident, natural disaster, childhood abuse, or sudden loss. It’s not a sign of weakness; it’s a natural response to extraordinary stress.
PTSD can develop immediately after a traumatic event or emerge months — even years — later. Without proper treatment, symptoms can worsen and significantly interfere with daily life, relationships, and physical health.

How Common Is PTSD?
PTSD affects approximately 3.5% of U.S. adults annually — about 13 million people. Women are twice as likely to develop PTSD as men. Many more live with subthreshold trauma symptoms that still significantly impact quality of life.
Intense Anxiety
Severe distress when compulsions cannot be completed or triggers are encountered.
Seeking Reassurance
Repeatedly asking others for reassurance or mentally reviewing past events.

Common Questions About OCD Treatment
We believe informed patients make empowered decisions. Here are answers to questions we hear most often.
What is the most effective treatment for OCD?
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy is considered the gold-standard treatment for OCD, with strong evidence supporting its effectiveness. When combined with SSRI medication, most patients experience significant symptom reduction. At Centia Health, we use individualized combinations of ERP, CBT, and medication management for optimal outcomes.
How long does OCD treatment take?
Many patients begin noticing meaningful improvement within 12–20 sessions of ERP therapy. The total duration depends on OCD severity, symptom presentation, and individual response. We design treatment plans that are results-focused, with regular reassessment to ensure progress.
Does Centia Health treat OCD via telehealth?
Yes. We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth appointments for all OCD services including psychiatric evaluation, ERP therapy, and medication management. Telehealth is available for patients in Pennsylvania and Kansas, making it easy to receive expert care from home.
Can OCD be cured with medication alone?
Medication (typically SSRIs) can significantly reduce OCD symptom severity, but research consistently shows that the combination of ERP therapy and medication produces the best, most durable outcomes. We rarely recommend medication as the sole treatment for OCD.
Do you accept insurance for OCD treatment?
Yes, Centia Health accepts most major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna/Evernorth, UnitedHealthcare, Highmark, Humana, TRICARE, Independence Blue Cross, AmeriHealth, OptumHealth, and Ambetter. Contact us to verify your specific coverage.
What's the difference between OCD and anxiety?
While OCD involves anxiety, it is a distinct condition characterized by the specific cycle of obsessions (intrusive thoughts) and compulsions (rituals to neutralize anxiety). OCD requires specialized treatment approaches like ERP — general anxiety therapy alone is typically insufficient for OCD.
