A Message from
Andrew J. Gerber, MD, PhD
President and Medical Director
Silver Hill Hospital is pleased to announce the launch of a new residential program — the Transitional Living Program for the Treatment of Trauma. While we have treated patients who suffer from trauma disorders for many years, this launch marks the formalization and commitment to an independent program, a dedicated residence, an expanded team, and a highly specialized, evidence-based treatment program. Silver Hill’s will be one of very few Trauma residential programs in the nation capable of working with patients with severe and complex Trauma, including dissociative symptoms, and will be defined by our quality and impact.
Program details are below. Please be in touch with our Clinical Outreach Team with any questions or to refer a patient.

The Silver Hill Trauma program focuses on stabilizing post-traumatic and dissociative symptoms, as well as comorbid conditions and symptoms, including mood, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, disordered eating, personality, and substance use symptoms.
The program begins with a comprehensive evaluation and assessment of symptoms followed by a combination of trauma symptom management skills, psychoeducational groups, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help stabilize an individual’s condition via an overarching psychodynamic approach.

Who the Trauma Program Serves
The program is intended for patients, of all complexity and severity levels, who have a primary trauma or dissociative disorder, including PTSD, Complex PTSD, Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder, Unspecified Dissociative Disorder, or Dissociative Identity Disorder. The program may also be appropriate for those known to have a history of trauma and related symptoms but no formal diagnosis.

The Silver Hill Trauma TLP was developed and is directed by Emily E. Haas, MD, an expert in the treatment of patients with complex trauma and dissociative disorders. Since joining Silver Hill in 2022, Dr. Haas has been treating patients while building a world-class trauma program in an optimal setting with a team highly trained in trauma-specialized care.

"Dr. Haas and her team have truly changed my life. After years of failed treatments, I not only received a proper diagnosis, I finally learned the skills necessary to recognize and effectively manage my trauma symptoms in a way that allows me to move forward on the path towards healing and leading a fulfilling life.”

"I could talk about how beautiful Silver Hill is, how thoughtful and prepared the staff and clinicians are, or the quality of their doctors, but quite simply, it saved my life."
