Dr. Valerie Rosen completed a Psychiatry Residency at Yale School of Medicine, where she was trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), one of the most evidenced based treatments for PTSD. She worked at Yale Health for 10 years in college mental health where she introduced CPT as a modality. She is now a regional trainer for CPT and for the past 22 years has trained and supervised clinicians, passing on the joy of freeing people from their trauma. She developed and directed the Restore Intensive Outpatient Program for trauma and served as the Director of Psychotherapy at the Refuge, a residential treatment center for domestic minor sex trafficking. Now, in her role as an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Dell Medical School, she is the founder and Medical Director of the Trauma Recovery and Research Center which aims to enhance access to and study outcomes for PTSD treatments for all populations, including those who have been trafficked. She is actively involved in clinical research and training the next generation of psychiatrists to be trauma informed and better able to identify and treat trauma survivors.
