Cognitive Processing Therapy
Cognitive Processing Therapy in the Greater Denver Area and Across Colorado – Accepting New Clients
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a highly effective form of trauma-focused therapy designed to help individuals recover from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related challenges. At Westside Behavioral Care, CPT is offered by licensed professionals who specialize in trauma recovery.
This structured approach helps clients examine how trauma has affected their thoughts and beliefs, and gently guides them in reworking those thoughts to regain a sense of safety and control.
Through a series of collaborative steps, CPT focuses on reducing trauma-related symptoms like guilt, shame, avoidance, and hypervigilance. It’s particularly effective for survivors of abuse, military veterans, accident survivors, and others affected by life-threatening or disturbing events. Appointments are available in person across the greater Denver area — including Boulder, Lakewood, Arvada, Littleton, and Aurora — or through online therapy anywhere in Colorado. All providers are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many accept other major insurance plans. You can browse available therapists by specialty, insurance, location, and age to find the right fit for your needs. For help booking your first appointment, call (303) 986-4197 or email info@westsidebehavioral.com.
