People need spaces of safety to learn and explore who they are. Without those experiences, life can become about hiding who you are and ignoring your needs instead of thriving. For folks that identify as LGBTQ+ or neurodivergent, exploring your own identity and self expression can come with a lot of fear about not being accepted or challenges navigating sensory needs. It can be exhausting and challenging to find support that is both understanding and affirming of your unique experiences. But what if you can have a safe space to embrace yourself and support your needs? What if you could discover or reclaim who you are?

You keep replaying conversations from a week ago over and over in your head, questioning yourself, judging yourself. Your life looks good on paper, but you don't feel fulfilled - you even feel a little resentful, which makes you feel worse. You've been called a people-pleaser, an overthinker or perfectionist. You're REALLY good at what you do, which mean more keeps getting put on your plate. It feels like everyone want something from you and you never have enough time for yourself. And even if you did have time, you don't even know what you want or need anymore.

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.
