Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a specialized counseling approach designed to help individuals, especially children and teens, process and heal from traumatic experiences. It combines techniques to change unhelpful thoughts, manage emotions, and reduce distress related to trauma. The therapy also involves education about trauma, relaxation strategies, and creating a safe space to express feelings. TF-CBT aims to decrease trauma-related symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and intrusive memories, fostering resilience and healthy functioning while supporting the individual in making sense of their experiences.
