TRAUMA FOCUSED COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
The goal of TF-CBT is to help address the unique needs of children and adults with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or other problems related to traumatic life experiences, and their parents or primary caregivers. This model of therapy combines trauma-sensitive interventions with cognitive behavioral therapy. The member and his/her parents are provided knowledge and skills related to processing the trauma; managing distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; and enhancing safety, parenting skills, and family communication. TF-CBT is an individualized, short-term treatment that involves both individual and family therapy.
Services Provided
TF-CBT is provided to children and adolescents ages 4 to 18 and adults who have significant behavioral or emotional impairments that are related to traumatic events even if they do not meet DSM V criteria for PTSD. A reduction in PTSD symptoms, depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, sexualized behaviors, trauma related shame, trust, and social skills have been shown.
