Student CPT Workshop

Training Overview

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a 12-session cognitive behavioral treatment for PTSD that can be personalized to include fewer or additional sessions. CPT teaches patients to recognize and challenge dysfunctional cognitions about their traumatic experiences and current beliefs about themselves and others. Through CPT, patients learn about symptoms of PTSD and the connection between trauma-based thoughts and feelings. CPT clinicians engage patients to recognize and challenge unrealistic thoughts, referred to as “stuck points,” throughout the course of treatment

This CPT workshop is for graduate students, interns, residents, and postdocs in mental-health related fields (e.g., psychology, social work, counseling). Through this student workshop you will have access to optional pre-workshop learning, and our online Provider Portal which hosts implementation resources. This specific workshop will not include clinical consultation, but we encourage you to seek out supervision opportunities within your own organization. Please contact us through admin@strongstartraining.org for any additional information.
