Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure what to expect or worried about being judged. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I understand how vulnerable it can feel to open up about personal struggles. While conversations around mental health have become more common, reaching out for support can still bring up nerves, uncertainty, or self-doubt. My priority is to offer a calm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe being yourself. You don’t need to have the “right words” or know exactly what you want to work on—we can figure that out together, at your pace.

Everybody hurts and everybody struggles at some point in their lives. I believe that it is how we respond to and learn from these experiences that make growth and healing possible. Sometimes, we all need a helping hand. Hlin Counseling is rooted in the belief of the power of connection and compassion to help people to not only navigate but transform their lived experiences into sources of strength, resiliency, and self-discovery. I partner with my clients to create a plan to address current symptoms and to explore the underlying patterns and beliefs which may be sustaining them to empower people to fully live and enjoy their lives.

I am different from most therapists in that I offer solutions early in the therapy process and I give advice. I tend to work well with people who want to get better, but are not necessarily excited about seeing a therapist - or who have not benefited from therapy in the past. It is very valid to seek out a therapist simply for support. It is what a lot of people need. But it is difficult to find a therapist who will help you understand what is perpetuating your problems in a clear and actionable way - and who will offer evidence-based interventions to make your life better as soon as possible so that you can live a happier life.

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.
