Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help children, teens, and adults heal from traumatic experiences. At Steady Ground Therapy, we provide compassionate, personalized trauma therapy both in-person in Downey, CA and online throughout California. Our goal is to help clients regain emotional balance, build resilience, and move forward from trauma in a safe, supportive environment.
What is Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)?
TF-CBT is a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy tailored to address the unique needs of individuals who have experienced trauma. This therapy combines traditional CBT techniques with trauma-sensitive strategies to help clients:
Understand and manage trauma-related thoughts and feelings
Reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, or PTSD
Improve emotional regulation and coping skills
Safely process difficult memories
TF-CBT is widely recognized as one of the most effective treatments for trauma in children, teens, and adults.
Who Can Benefit from TF-CBT?
Children and Teens: Trauma can affect a child’s emotional well-being, behavior, and ability to function at home or school. TF-CBT helps young clients develop coping skills, express feelings safely, and process trauma in an age-appropriate way.
Adults: Adults experiencing trauma-related symptoms, such as intrusive thoughts, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, can benefit from TF-CBT to regain control and rebuild their lives.
At Steady Ground Therapy, we provide individualized treatment plans that focus on the client’s goals and strengths, ensuring effective trauma therapy for all ages.
