Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a beacon of hope for those navigating the tumultuous seas of PTSD. Like a lighthouse guiding a ship, CPT helps individuals chart a structured course through the complex relationship between thoughts, emotions, and trauma. The process involves uncovering and recalibrating distorted thoughts, facing the trauma, and utilizing Socratic questioning for deeper understanding. The benefits are profound - PTSD symptoms recede, coping skills improve, and a brighter, more balanced future comes into view. CPT is adaptable and personal, offering a path to healing and lasting change. Seek the guidance of one of our highly skilled trauma psychologists, and embark on a journey toward healing and hope in calmer waters.

You Are Not Your Roots

/ Breyta Psychological Services, P.A./
posttraumatic growth

Often we are told we have to choose roots or blooms. This quote is a nice reflection of ways in which we can re-examine how we think about our past. Thriving in the present doesn't require us to deny our past. It requires us to change our relationship to it. Your past doesn't define you. You can acknowledge it as a place from which you emerged; not the same thing as you. As we enter a new year, we can set intentions based on how we want to bloom, while noting what we've taken from the past and our experiences that led us here.
