I am a clinical social worker who practices therapy in the area of dual diagnosis. I work with adult clients who have behavioral health or addictions issues, or both. I believe to feel better, we need to work on the WHOLE person not just a part. I worked for the Military for five years and I have background in trauma, PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injuries and many addiction issues.

Life is too short to live with constant struggle and suffering. By looking for a therapist you are already taking a huge step to improve your life and learning skills to make it a great one. You may just need someone trained to help you find it. Maybe you worry too much about the past or the future. You may be so sad getting out of bed feels like climbing a mountain. Maybe you have addictions such as drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, pornography etc. that are keeping you from doing what matters most. Many of us had difficulties growing up that still affect us to this day with our relationships and how we view the world.

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.
