What is TF-CBT?

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based practice that has been evaluated and refined over the past 30 years to help children and adolescents recover after traumatic experiences. TF-CBT is a structured, short-term treatment model that effectively improves a range of trauma-related outcomes in a series of 8 – 25 sessions with the child and caregiver. Clients typically progress through eight core TF-CBT components as they master skills, process trauma experiences, and experience a reduction in their trauma symptoms.
