Group Treatment
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Amy Welsh, LSCW-Certified CPT Therapist
This group will use cognitive skills to understand and change the negative thoughts you have had since the traumatic event. We will teach you new ways of processing and coping with the trauma. During this group, you will NOT be discussing the details of your trauma. This treatment focuses on exploring and challenging the beliefs that were made during and after the trauma in order to “make sense” of it.
Please reach out for a brief initial screening and to attend an intake session prior to starting the group.
You may call us at 503-433-6016 or email at admin@birchwoodcounseling.net to start the next steps
