This process helps restore emotional balance, strengthen resilience, and promote long-term healing.

What is Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) Like?
CPT is a focused and time-limited form of therapy specifically developed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma-related symptoms. It helps clients identify and shift “stuck points”—the unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that develop after trauma.
During your CPT sessions, you’ll work closely with your therapist to:
-
Explore how trauma has shaped your thoughts and emotions
-
Learn to identify and challenge unhelpful patterns such as guilt, self-blame, or mistrust
-
Replace negative beliefs with balanced, realistic perspectives
-
Regain a sense of safety and control in your relationships and everyday life
CPT is typically completed over 12 structured sessions, each building on the last to help you process your experiences in a safe, supportive, and goal-oriented way. Homework assignments, journaling, and thought exercises between sessions are used to reinforce learning and promote steady progress.
Many clients notice meaningful improvements within weeks—feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to themselves and others. By the end of CPT, most individuals experience significant reductions in trauma-related symptoms such as flashbacks, anxiety, and avoidance, and gain tools that continue to support their well-being long after therapy ends.
Is CPT Right for You?
CPT is especially effective for individuals who have experienced:
-
Traumatic loss or grief
-
Abuse or assault
-
Military or first responder trauma
-
Childhood trauma or neglect
-
Accidents, disasters, or sudden life-changing events
If you’ve tried other approaches and still feel “stuck,” CPT can help you understand your trauma in a new way—one that releases its hold and empowers you to move forward with confidence and peace.
