Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

TF-CBT is a structured, short-term treatment for children and teens with a history of trauma, who are currently experiencing trauma symptoms. TF-CBT provides treatment for both the child and a non-offending caregiver. TF-CBT is an evidenced-based treatment, shown repeatedly to significantly improve PTSD and/or other trauma related symptoms. 

TF-CBT effectively addresses many other trauma impacts, including depressive and anxiety symptoms and cognitive and behavioral problems. It also improves the caregiver’s personal distress about the child’s traumatic experience, effective parenting skills, and supportive interactions with the child (tfcbt.org).
