Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapy at Overcomers

Specifically designed to help you heal from the impact of traumatic experiences. CPT helps you process what happened and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs that developed because of the trauma. It’s like reframing the event so it has less power over your present.

Finding a CPT Therapist in Colorado

We believe that the thoughts trauma leaves behind can be examined, challenged, and changed.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a structured, short-term treatment developed specifically for PTSD. At Overcomers Counseling in Colorado, our CPT-trained therapists help clients identify the "stuck points" — beliefs about safety, trust, or self-blame that trauma leaves behind — and work through them using structured writing and discussion, rather than repeatedly reliving the traumatic memory itself.

Our team of dedicated CPT-trained counselors helps you reframe what happened so it carries less weight in your present life.

Cognitive Processing Therapy Services

What happened to you doesn't have to define how you see yourself now.

CPT is available at our Colorado Springs, Aurora, Pueblo, and Fort Collins offices, and via teletherapy statewide, frequently used alongside our broader trauma-focused therapy services.

CPT for PTSD and Trauma-Related Beliefs

Trauma often distorts beliefs about safety, control, or self-worth. CPT gives you tools to examine those beliefs directly and build ones that are more accurate and less distressing.

Benefits of Cognitive Processing Therapy

Evidence-Based for PTSD — CPT is one of the most recommended treatments for trauma-related conditions.

Structured and Time-Limited — CPT typically follows a defined number of sessions with clear milestones.

Doesn't Require Reliving Every Detail — The focus is on beliefs and meaning, not repeated retelling.

If trauma has left you with beliefs that no longer serve you, connect with Overcomers Counseling to find a CPT therapist in Colorado.

Rahel has been a joy to work with so far. She's very pleasant and seems excited to help me with my mental health journey. She's very welcoming and easy to warm up. She listens intently, asks meaningful questions, gives helpful advice and affirmations, and is very responsive. She's prompt to our appointments and is very diligent in recalling and addressing things from our last session to help keep the flow and the conversation going. She's also very skilled in facilitating natural transitions in the conversation and topics. I'm very happy and grateful for her professional help!
