Cognitive Processing Therapy

At Into the Light, we offer Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a specialized and evidence-based approach designed to help individuals overcome the impact of traumatic experiences. CPT is a structured therapy that assists individuals in processing and reframing their thoughts and feelings related to trauma, leading to meaningful healing and recovery.

Understanding Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

Cognitive processing therapy is a proven therapeutic approach specifically developed to address the aftermath of traumatic experiences, particularly for individuals dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). CPT is grounded in the belief that trauma can alter the way we think about ourselves, others, and the world, and it aims to help individuals reconstruct their understanding and beliefs.
