TF-CBT Services at The Counseling Corner

🛡️ Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) in Orlando

Heal From Trauma with Structure, Safety, and Support

Looking for affordable TF-CBT therapy in Orlando? Our experienced therapists are ready to serve you today!

When trauma disrupts a child or teen’s world, it often leaves behind fear, shame, nightmares, emotional shutdown—or a swirl of thoughts that won’t settle. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is one of the most trusted and effective therapies for helping young people heal from trauma—with structure, safety, and science-backed results.

At The Counseling Corner, we specialize in TF-CBT for children, teens, adults, and families navigating trauma, grief, abuse, or overwhelming life experiences. Since 1998, our licensed therapists have guided Central Florida families through this powerful, evidence-based healing process.

💡 Why Choose TF-CBT?

TF-CBT is considered the gold standard in trauma treatment for kids, teens, and adults. It was specifically designed to help young people:

  • Process trauma in a safe, structured way

  • Reduce PTSD symptoms, anxiety, depression, and shame

  • Build healthy thinking habits and emotional regulation

  • Strengthen trust, communication, and connection with caregivers

  • Learn that their story doesn’t have to define their future

It’s a short-term model (typically 12–20 sessions), yet incredibly impactful—delivering lasting relief and measurable results for children, teens, and their families.

🧠 What Is TF-CBT?

TF-CBT is a structured form of therapy that helps kids, teens, and adults heal from trauma by teaching them to understand their feelings, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and make sense of their experiences—without being overwhelmed by them.

It blends:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Trauma processing strategies

  • Emotion regulation skills

  • Parent/caregiver involvement and support

Each session moves at a pace that honors the child’s readiness and comfort level. We never force disclosure or rush the process—we build trust first, then guide healing gently.

🛠️ What TF-CBT Therapy Is Like

TF-CBT includes both individual sessions for the child/teen and joint sessions with a supportive caregiver or with an adult. In therapy, your child or teen will:

  • Learn calming techniques to manage anxiety, sleep, and stress

  • Identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts related to the trauma

  • Tell their story through developmentally appropriate methods (talk, art, writing)

  • Build self-confidence, self-compassion, and safety

  • Reconnect with supportive caregivers in a way that rebuilds trust

Caregivers also receive support, education, and guidance to help their child or teenager heal—and to process their own emotions around the trauma.
