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.

AI Summary
Across hundreds of client reviews, one theme comes through again and again: people feel truly heard here. Clients describe finally finding a therapist who understood them, gaining real tools for anxiety, trauma, and anger management, and walking away from sessions feeling lighter and more hopeful. Many say Overcomers was the first place therapy actually felt like the right fit — a space to be met with warmth, patience, and genuine care on the path to becoming who they're meant to be.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kaitlyn was patient and kind, but she also gave me a different perspective to look at various things in my life. She truly made a difference and I'm only leaving because I'm moving out of state wish I could keep seeing her!! Recommend her to anyone!

Emily Ladd, LSW
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Its difficult to put into words the amount of help Emily has provided me without crying. When I first started this journey like most men I was skeptical at best. And had failed every time I attempted counseling. I knew I needed help but I didn’t know what I needed, thru this first 90 days not only have I felt heard but have worked thru EDM exercises, and have been able to put a name to a lot of the issues I’m facing while also understand you don’t have to be broken forever. She has been extremely patient with me, but also very good at challenging me at the same time. She has given me great resources that fit my life style (I’m not sitting down reading a book but I will listen to a podcast while I’m driving) she truly has been a blessing to not only me but also my children as my relationship is improving with them as well.
