TF-CBT

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy treats children who have been impacted by traumatic events

 
 

What is TF-CBT and Who is It For?

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is the most well-supported and effective treatment for children impacted by trauma. This program is structured and short-term, typically lasting 12-25 sessions.

We've been awarded a grant to form The MetroWest Evidence-based Trauma-Informed Referral & Treatment Initiative for Children (METRIC). METRIC aims to increase access to trauma-focused, evidence-based services for children and adolescents ages 2 to 18, and their families, in school and community-based settings in Waltham, Boston, and surrounding communities.

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Fear
  • Anxiety
  • Depression

Caregiver Involvement

TF-CBT can also help a caregiver's personal distress about their child’s traumatic experience and can improve effective parenting skills and supportive interactions.
