Stuck in painful thoughts after trauma? You don't have to stay there.
Cognitive Processing Therapy
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) helps you make sense of what happened, reduce self-blame, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
What is CPT?
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based treatment designed to help people recover from trauma and PTSD.
​
After trauma, it's common to develop painful beliefs like:
-
"It was my fault"
-
"I should have done something differently"
-
"I can't trust anyone"
​
CPT helps you identify these thoughts, challenge then, and replace them with more balanced, realistic ones -- so they stop controlling your life.
CPT may be a good fit if you:
-
Experienced trauma (recent or long ago)
-
Struggle with guilt, shame, or self-blame
-
Feel stuck replaying what happened
-
Have difficulty trusting others or feeling safe
-
Notice your thoughts are keeping you "stuck"

Is CPT hard?
CPT can feel emotionally intense at times -- especially when talking or writing about difficult experiences. That's completely normal. Your therapist will guide you at a pace that feels manageable, and most clients find that the discomfort is temporary -- and well worth the relief that comes with it.
