Specialized Therapy for Trauma & PTSD
When the Past Won’t Stay in the Past
You’ve tried to move on, but memories and feelings from your past pain keep haunting you. It affects everything: your relationships feel strained, it’s hard to focus on daily life, and you’re constantly on edge or irritable.
It’s More than Just Anxiety
You’re living in a constant state of alertness, always trying to figure people out. Trusting others feels impossible, and it seems like you’re just one mistake away from your world falling apart.
Trauma Changes the Way You Think & Feel
Intrusive thoughts, blaming yourself, worrying that others are mad at you—it’s overwhelming. Your thinking has shifted completely. You used to be upbeat and happy, but now fear has taken over. Joy seems like a distant memory, and trusting people, including yourself, feels impossible.
Signs You Might Need Trauma Therapy
- Thinking about the past on repeat
- Struggling to trust yourself to make decisions
- Relationships feel hard and scary
- Guilt, self-blame, and shame weigh heavily on you
- Feeling disconnected from people in your life
- Constant worry and fear
- Always scanning people’s behavior to see if they’re upset or going to turn on you
- Traditional talk therapy hasn’t worked and may have even made things worse
When Talk Therapy Just Isn’t Enough
Talking about your trauma only seems to make things worse. Traditional talk therapy doesn’t always address trauma the way it needs to be. You need a more targeted approach—something that gives you real tools and a therapist who truly understands trauma and PTSD.
You Want Tools. You Want to Take Action.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for Trauma and PTSD is a structured, action-oriented approach. With CPT, you’ll gain skills and tools that help retrain your brain and reduce the fear that’s been controlling your life.
What Makes Trauma Therapy Different?
Trauma therapy is a research-backed approach proven to help people heal from trauma and PTSD. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Standardized Tools to Monitor Your Progress: Weekly assessments will track your progress, building confidence as you improve.
- Structured Therapy: Each session has an agenda with specific skills to learn.
- Homework: You’ll get a workbook with weekly assignments to help you practice your skills and stay on track.
- Brain-Based Approach: Trauma therapy literally changes brain structures. We’ll strengthen the parts that help you feel more in control while calming the fear response that’s been running your life.
- Proven Results: Hundreds of studies back CPT as a best practice for trauma and PTSD.
- Short-Term Therapy, Long-Term Results: Most people feel relief after just 5–6 sessions, and the full course of CPT usually takes 12 sessions. Long-term research shows people hold onto these results for years.
Debunking Trauma Therapy Myths
Myth #1: You have to talk about every detail of your trauma.
Truth: No, you don’t. Healing from trauma isn’t about rehashing the past; it’s about teaching your brain to process pain and fear in a way that doesn’t leave you stuck in anxiety, panic, and self-blame.
Myth #2: Trauma therapy is a long, drawn-out process.
Truth: Most people complete CPT in 12 sessions, and 92% no longer meet the criteria for PTSD. You can graduate or step down to maintenance therapy depending on your needs.
Myth #3: It’s going to get worse before it gets better.
Truth: Not necessarily. Half of people see improvements right away. By the fourth CPT module, most begin to notice significant changes in their thoughts and feelings.
