When meeting for the first time, you'll be greeted with a smile and a curiosity to understand you as a whole person.

We'll then discuss your goals for therapy and collaborate on a treatment plan to meet your needs. There is no one size fits all for therapy. It’s part science and part art. The science of therapy is using research supported interventions that have been proven to work. While the art of therapy is tailoring these interventions to you and your unique needs and strengths.

We all experience speed bumps during our life journey. Though it may seem we are "lost, "unsure of, I believe the powers we are looking for are inside YOU! One simply needs to be validated and to strengthen the emotional "muscles" that have grown weak-just as we exercise our bodies and our minds, we must exercise our emotional muscles. I genuinely believe we can not experience long-term health unless we pay close attention to our Mind, Body, and spirit a whole, our humanness. In many instances, it is our voice that is silenced, whether directly or indirectly.

How does cognitive processing therapy work?
A CPT therapist helps a client evaluate their thoughts about the trauma they experienced, focusing on maladaptive or self-blaming thoughts that can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The therapist will work with a client to help them learn to challenge such thoughts and consider different perspectives. The therapist is also likely to ask a client to work on these techniques at home between meetings, such as writing an account of their trauma that can be read aloud during a future session.
What is cognitive processing therapy for PTSD?
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily used in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to treat individuals who experienced abuse or violence, who survived natural disasters, who were first responders to such incidents, or who otherwise experienced trauma.
How long does cognitive processing therapy last?
CPT is a short-term therapy. Whether conducted one-on-one or in a group, a complete set of CPT sessions typically includes 12 weekly sessions, along with tasks for clients to complete at home, although this can vary depending on a client’s needs or a therapist’s particular treatment plan. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes.
How effective is cognitive processing therapy?
A large body of research supports the use of CPT to treat people experiencing PTSD, finding it to be effective among different age groups, either in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group therapy environment. Research suggests that although the initial sessions may be difficult, clients tend to begin to feel positive progress after the first few sessions, and that the benefits tend to last well after the therapy ends.
