Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a structured, evidence-based form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) proven effective in reducing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and other trauma-related responses. This group is a core component of our Trauma-Focused IOP, designed to help individuals process and reframe the distressing thoughts and beliefs that often follow traumatic experiences.

Throughout the program, participants learn to identify how trauma has impacted their thoughts about themselves, others, and the world. CPT helps clients recognize unhelpful thinking patterns—such as guilt, shame, or self-blame—and replace them with more balanced, compassionate, and realistic perspectives.

Each CPT session includes guided skill-building, structured discussions, and daily therapeutic homework to reinforce progress outside of group. Homework is reviewed in each session, allowing clients to apply concepts to their real-life experiences and track meaningful change over time.

Compassionate Coping Group is a skills-based, psychoeducational group designed to help clients build resilience and emotional regulation in the aftermath of trauma. Drawing from both Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), this group offers practical tools to manage distress and stay grounded in the present moment.

Participants will engage in a combination of interactive lessons, experiential exercises, and supportive group discussions. Core skills include mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness—all essential for navigating challenging emotions and improving relationships during trauma recovery.

Our Process Group offers a safe, supportive space for clients to explore their personal challenges related to trauma recovery. This open-format group encourages honest, respectful discussion, fostering a sense of connection, validation, and shared understanding among participants.

Facilitated by a licensed therapist, the group helps clients process emotions, gain insight, and strengthen interpersonal skills through real-time feedback and support from peers. This experience promotes deeper emotional healing and reinforces the sense that no one has to navigate trauma alone.

The Mindful Movement and Arts Group combines elements of expressive arts therapy and somatic awareness to support emotional healing and self-discovery. Using creative modalities such as art-making, guided movement, and mindfulness practices, participants explore their inner experiences in a nonverbal, embodied way.

This group helps foster a stronger mind-body connection, encourages healthy emotional expression, and promotes personal insight through the creative process. Ideal for individuals recovering from trauma, this group invites participants to engage imagination, curiosity, and self-compassion on their path to healing.

The Experiential Trauma Group offers a dynamic approach to trauma recovery by incorporating techniques from somatic therapy, sensorimotor processing, and other experiential healing modalities. This group focuses on helping participants safely access and process stored trauma through guided activities that engage both the body and the mind.

By creating space for nervous system regulation, emotional release, and embodied insight, clients can begin to shift trauma that talk therapy alone may not fully reach. This group supports deeper healing, increased self-awareness, and a stronger sense of presence and connection.
