Our Story

After deploying to Iraq as a Tier-1 Special Operations medic and later being diagnosed with PTSD himself, our founder experienced firsthand the limits of Prolonged Exposure and EMDR—treatments that rely on a patient’s ability to imagine traumatic memories they’ve spent years trying not to revisit. While studying game design, he realized that modern game-engine technology could finally recreate these moments in controlled, simple virtual environments that clinicians could guide safely in therapy.

​

Praetorian Studios now builds VR tools that allow therapists to reconstruct snapshots of traumatic memories for use in trauma-focused care. Our approach is grounded in frontline medical experience, powered by Unity and Unreal Engine, and supported by emerging clinical partnerships with growing interest. This is a mission shaped by service and recovery, and a commitment to modernizing how PTSD is treated.
