RESTORA INSTITUTE / TRAUMA THERAPY
Trauma-Focused CBT
Support for children, teens, and their caregivers.
Care shaped around the child
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a structured approach that may be considered for children and adolescents dealing with the impact of traumatic experiences. Caregiver participation is discussed as part of the treatment plan.
What to expect
Sessions may include learning about emotions, developing coping skills, and working through trauma-related thoughts and experiences when appropriate. Assessment guides whether TF-CBT is a suitable option.
What this might look like
Illustrative example (not a real client): A child recovering from a frightening experience and their supportive caregiver may learn coping skills, gradually develop a trauma narrative when appropriate, and practice safety skills as part of TF-CBT.
