Do you feel stuck? My approach to helping: Choosing to begin therapy and meet a new therapist can be one of the most stressful things a person can do. It is also one of the most courageous! The journey of counseling and therapy is a path of growth. I love working with people who have the courage to engage in therapy and helping them learn, grow, and heal. By becoming more aware of yourself and the people around you, you are able to choose new ways of being and interacting, and feel calmer and more content day to day.

Hi! I'm Joy, an LCSW licensed in CT, MD, and NY. (Not accepting clients at this time). My private practice serves adults who identify as Black, People of Color, and African immigrants. These individuals have endured multiple stressors and trauma; and wonder if therapy is right for them or can help them get better. If this is you and you are a resident of these three states, we may be a good fit. I am a trauma therapist and will engage with you to dismantle your childhood and past. With this insight, we will begin to heal and then recreate an adaptive present and hopeful future.

Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists

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.
