Cognitive Processing Therapy
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based PTSD treatment that helps clients reframe unhelpful trauma-related thoughts, fostering recovery and a return to meaningful living.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy
Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy is an evidence-based, gold-standard PTSD treatment that helps patients safely confront trauma-related memories and situations to reduce distress, shift beliefs, and reclaim their lives.
Written Exposure Therapy
Written Exposure Therapy (WET) is an evidenced-based, brief PTSD treatment involving guided written narratives to process trauma, achieve recovery, and reduce symptoms in just five sessions.
SSTI’s Learning Communities are graciously sponsored by the Gavin Farrell Foundation and Bob Woodruff Foundation.
