Wondering if you could actually benefit from therapy? Maybe you’ve spent so much time second guessing yourself, tending to others' needs or keeping up with hustle culture that your own well-being was overlooked. Maybe past experiences have weighed on you, and been pushed deep down. Maybe you’re waiting for the ‘right time.’ MAYBE, just maybe, YOUR time is now.

The future is in the heart of the creatives. The pathway to our collective healing is through imagination and creativity. Activists and organizers on the frontlines of social movements, artists, and creative professionals all share a powerful gift, the ability to engage in the profoundly vulnerable process of making what unseen seen a reality. They offer so much to the communities in which they live and love. Yet, I wonder who holds them while they hold us? If you identify as a creative activist, know you are not alone. You are deeply seen and a liberated life is waiting for YOU.

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.
