Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) in Westchester, NY

Reclaim Your Life from Trauma with Evidence-Based Trauma Therapy in Westchester, New York

Are you feeling overwhelmed by past trauma, burdened by anxiety, unsettling dreams, or intrusive thoughts? Maybe you've achieved success in various areas of your life, but emotionally, you feel stuck—unable to shake the weight of guilt, shame, or fear. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) can help you break free from the emotional patterns that keep you locked in the past, allowing you to reclaim your peace, confidence, and sense of control.

What is Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)?

CPT is a structured, evidence-based therapy specifically designed to help you process trauma and challenge the unhelpful beliefs that often follow traumatic experiences. Whether you’ve experienced physical, emotional, or sexual abuse or any other form of trauma, this therapy offers a roadmap to understanding, healing, and recovery.

Over the course of 12 tailored sessions, you will learn practical tools to reshape negative thought patterns, challenge harmful beliefs, and rebuild your emotional resilience. Each session builds on the last, guiding you step by step through a proven process that leads to lasting relief and emotional freedom.

How Does CPT Work?

CPT works by helping you reframe the way you think about your trauma. Traumatic events often lead to beliefs that are inaccurate or harmful, such as blaming yourself, feeling unsafe, or thinking the world is dangerous. During therapy, we’ll work together to identify these “stuck points” and replace them with healthier, more balanced perspectives.

What to Expect in Your CPT Sessions:

  • Personalized Treatment Plan: I’ll tailor each session to your unique needs, ensuring you feel supported at every step.

  • Goal-Oriented Therapy: Together, we’ll set clear, measurable goals that align with your vision for recovery.

  • Challenging Unhelpful Thoughts: We’ll work through the difficult thoughts and beliefs that are keeping you from moving forward.

  • Practical Homework: Between sessions, you'll complete assignments designed to reinforce your progress and deepen your healing.
