Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for Trauma

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for Trauma

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a type of  therapy that teaches a patient how to modify and challenge unhelpful beliefs related to a traumatic experience. At Wholeview, it is delivered using a combination of 12 group sessions with four individual sessions interspersed throughout the groups.

Together, our therapists help each patient create a new understanding and conceptualization of the traumatic event to reduce ongoing negative effects on the patient’s current life. All patients are given out-of-session practice assignments that are important to the success of the treatment.
