cognitive processing therapy (CPT)

---

 “CPT is one of the most widely researched trauma therapies, proven effective for survivors of diverse traumas — from combat to childhood abuse.” (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs) 

Trauma can change the way we think about ourselves, others, and the world. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based trauma treatment that helps clients reframe unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that keep them stuck in the aftermath of trauma.

CPT is a structured, short-term therapy that helps you identify and challenge “stuck points” — negative beliefs like “I can’t trust anyone” or “It was my fault.” Through guided exercises and reflection, CPT supports new, balanced ways of thinking that promote healing.
