Are you ready to let go of guilt, shame, and negative self-talk and reconnect with yourself and others?

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a form of psychotherapy that helps you recover from traumatic events or experiences. CPT is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and focuses on identifying and challenging negative thoughts related to the trauma to decrease trauma symptoms and increase resiliency. CPT specifically targets five areas often impacted by trauma: safety, trust, power/control, esteem, and intimacy.

CPT is a regimented, twelve-session modality that can be used to target one specific trauma or multiple traumas. It is most recommended if you have an overwhelming amount of negative thoughts related to your trauma, which can impact the five themes mentioned above and how you think about those themes in relation to yourself, others, and the world. Over the course of the twelve sessions, you will learn how to challenge your own thoughts without needing the assistance of a therapist, which will provide you with an increased sense of agency and confidence. I will help you learn to identify negative cognitions and utilize worksheets to challenge these thoughts and replace them with more adaptive ways of thinking.

​

As you move through CPT, you may experience a reduction in symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and flashbacks related to your trauma. You may also feel a greater sense of control over your thoughts and emotions, and develop a more positive self-image.

​

It's important to note that CPT is a regimented process that occurs over the course of twelve sessions and is not a quick fix. Progress may seem somewhat slow at first as we lay the foundations of this therapy, but persistence will allow you to reap the full benefits of this modality.
