CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy) for PTSD in Serious Mental Illness
Description
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD in individuals with Serious Mental Illness is a specific type of cognitive behavioral therapy. It has been effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD that develop after experiencing various traumatic events. CPT is delivered over 12 sessions. It helps individuals learn how to challenge and modify unhelpful beliefs related to the trauma. Through this process, the individual develops a new understanding and conceptualization of the traumatic event. This new perspective reduces the event’s ongoing negative effects on their current life.
Dr. Pallavi Nishith has 21 years of experience working in the field of trauma and PTSD. She is currently working in the capacity of Staff Psychologist at Places for People, Inc., and in this capacity is conducting clinical research and training work in Trauma, and PTSD in Serious Mental Illness (SMI).
***ONLY therapists who are licensed or provisionally licensed and under supervision should practice CPT. Therefore, we ask that PLPC and LMSW therapists sign-up for this training.
