Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a specialized therapy designed to help kids, teens, and families deal with the impacts of trauma. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-specific strategies to support those who’ve been through tough experiences.
Key Parts of TF-CBT:
- Psychoeducation: We give you information about trauma and its effects to help you and your family understand what’s going on.
- Skill Building: You will learn practical coping skills like relaxation techniques and stress management to handle trauma-related symptoms.
- Trauma Narrative: In working with your therapist you will gently work through and process traumatic memories in a safe space to lessen their emotional hold on you.
- Parenting Support: We involve you as the parents or caregivers to help support your child’s recovery and improve family communication.
