Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach designed to help individuals—often children and adolescents—cope with the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral effects of traumatic experiences. It combines principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy with trauma-sensitive techniques, teaching skills to manage distress, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and process traumatic memories safely. Through sessions with a trained therapist, clients learn to reduce trauma-related symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and avoidance, fostering resilience and improving overall functioning. TF-CBT aims to help individuals regain a sense of safety, control, and healing after trauma.
