TF-CBT

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidenced-based treatment for trauma and PTSD in children and adolescents. TF-CBT includes learning about trauma symptoms and traumatic experiences, practicing relaxation skills, regulating emotions, distinguishing between thoughts, feelings, and actions, processing traumatic experience, extinguishing avoidance resulting from traumatic experience, and learning skills for future safety. TF-CBT also includes a parenting component to empower caregivers to support their child or adolescent in the recovery process during and after treatment.
