This study is for first responders and healthcare workers who have symptoms of PTSD, which is a stress disorder that happens after very scary events. The study wants to see if a special talk therapy called Prolonged Exposure for Primary Care (PE-PC) helps reduce these symptoms. You will either get this therapy or a usual treatment from your Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which is a support program for workers. The study will compare which treatment works better.

• Length: Therapy sessions over a few weeks.
• Visits: Regular visits to talk with a counselor.
• Risks: If you have severe mental health issues, you may not be eligible.

To join, you should work with an EAP, have a PTSD checklist score of 33 or more, and have had stable medication for at least four weeks. You cannot join if you have serious thinking problems, high suicide risk, need detox, have active psychosis, or are already in a trauma-focused therapy. You must also speak English.
