At One Heartt, we understand that seeking mental health care often comes after a long period of coping, pushing through, or caring for everyone else first.

Our care is grounded in safety, dignity, and trust, creating a space where you are not rushed, judged, or reduced to a diagnosis, but supported as a whole person with a meaningful and valid story.

After a strong focus on health, military resiliency, and witnessing different levels of mental health challenges, I noticed an increase in trauma responses and client's caution to the safety of therapy.

I provide strategies for behavior modification and trauma recovery with people from multiple ethnicities. My goal is to continue to provide healthy strategies to navigate trauma and mental illness stigmas.

You’ve spent your life trying to do things “right”... so why do you feel so tired, lost, and unfulfilled? It’s like you’ve fooled everyone into thinking you have it all together.

You can’t stop overthinking everything from your day, getting stuck in loops of “what if” and “if only.” And yet, no amount of second-guessing has helped you figure out why it still feels like something’s missing. Maybe you’ve even been to therapy before, but you haven’t figured out how to actually feel better.

It wasn't supposed to be like this. You prioritized your career, you kept your eyes on the prize, you sacrificed, you never complained or made excuses. You had the work ethic, grit, and intelligence to overcome every challenge you faced. But for some reason that isn't working any more. You tell yourself to buckle down and power through, but you just...don't. You watch yourself drinking more, gaining weight, missing deadlines, lashing out at the people closest to you. It's all falling apart. You've outworked so many competitors and overcome so much, but now you're in a battle with yourself, and for the first time, you're losing.

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.
