Prolonged Exposure

Exposure is an intervention strategy used in cognitive behavioral therapy to assist individuals to confront fears. Prolonged exposure is a specific type of cognitive behavioral therapy that teaches individuals to gradually approach trauma-related memories, feelings and situations. This treatment is strongly recommended for the treatment of PTSD.

Prolonged exposure is typically provided over a period of about three months with weekly individual sessions, resulting in eight to 15 sessions overall.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

CPT is helpful in reducing symptoms of PTSD. CPT is provided in 12 sessions and helps patients learn how to challenge and modify unhelpful beliefs related to a trauma. This assists clients in developing a new understanding and conceptualization of the traumatic event so that it reduces its ongoing negative effects on one’s life.

This treatment is an evidence-based therapy that is strongly recommended for the treatment of PTSD.

DBT-Informed Therapy

DBT-Informed Therapy is a cognitive behavioral therapy that teaches and draws upon skills taught in a standard DBT group. Needed skills are taught on an individual basis. This is not adherent DBT and it is a substitute for a standard DBT program. DBT-informed therapy is not intended for those with suicidal behavior, self-harm behavior or any lethal responses to strong emotions.
