Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

 

What is TF-cbt?

Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is designed to address the mental health needs of children, adolescents, and families affected by early trauma. This treatment, typically lasting 12 to 24 sessions, is particularly effective for youth dealing with post-traumatic stress and mood disorders resulting from sexual abuse, physical abuse, violence, or grief. TF-CBT often involves non-offending parents or caregivers in the treatment process, incorporating family therapy principles to support healing.
