Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT)

Healing from Trauma with Compassionate, Evidence-Based Care

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a proven, evidence-based approach to help children, adolescents, and their families process and recover from traumatic experiences. Our team is trained in TF-CBT to guide young people toward healing, resilience, and hope.

What is TF-CBT

TF-CBT is a structured, short-term therapy that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-sensitive principles. It is designed to:

• Help clients process traumatic experiences in a safe and supportive environment

• Reduce the emotional and psychological impact of trauma

• Build coping strategies to manage stress and emotional responses

• Strengthen relationships and family dynamics

 

This therapy is particularly effective for individuals who have experienced:

• Abuse or neglect

• Loss or grief

• Witnessing violence or other traumatic events

• Bullying or harassment

• Natural disasters, accidents, or medical trauma

How TF-CBT works

TF-CBT typically involves:

1. Psychoeducation: Teaching clients and families about trauma, its effects, and the recovery process.

2. Skills Training: Developing relaxation, emotional regulation, and coping strategies to manage distress.

3. Trauma Narration and Processing: Safely exploring and reframing traumatic memories to reduce their emotional intensity.

4. Cognitive Restructuring: Identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs related to the trauma.

5. Parent and Caregiver Support: Engaging family members to create a supportive environment for healing.
