Dr. Barbara Rothbaum(Ph.D) has spent the past four decades researching anxiety disorders, and specifically Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD). Her career is marked by innovation and dissemination of leading edge treatments, including both the invention of using virtual reality(VR) in exposure therapy, and driving it’s use in prolonged exposure therapy programs for veterans. To top things off, she and her team are now running a groundbreaking study using MDMA and exposure therapy to treat veterans with PTSD, with plans to run follow-on studies in the future.

Today, she’s the Director of the Emory Healthcare Veterans Program, which she created to provide intensive PTSD treatment to all veterans whilst removing as many barriers as possible—it’s entirely free to anyone who served, regardless of discharge status, so long as they’re struggling with one of the conditions the program treats. She’s also a professor and Associate Vice Chair of Clinical Research at the Emory School of Medicine in the Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Department, and Director of the Trauma and Anxiety Recovery Program, in addition to an extensive list of other titles, credits, and achievements associated with her name.
