Are you struggling with the lasting effects of trauma or PTSD? Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy designed to help you process traumatic experiences, reduce symptoms, and regain control of your life. At Summit Counseling Center, our trained therapists provide compassionate CPT to guide you through healing and recovery.
What Is Cognitive Processing Therapy?
CPT is a specialized type of cognitive-behavioral therapy focused on helping trauma survivors understand and change unhelpful beliefs related to their traumatic event. By addressing negative thoughts and feelings, CPT empowers you to challenge and reframe trauma-related memories, reducing emotional distress and improving daily functioning.
What to Expect in CPT Sessions
In your therapy sessions, your CPT therapist will:
- Help you identify “stuck points” or unhelpful beliefs about your trauma
- Guide you in challenging and reframing negative thoughts
- Use structured writing and homework assignments to reinforce progress
- Support you in gradually reducing trauma symptoms
- Create a safe, supportive space for your healing journey
CPT typically involves 12 sessions, focusing on practical tools for lasting recovery.
