More about CPP Therapy...
Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach designed for children ages 0–5 who have experienced trauma or are struggling with mental health, attachment, or behavioral concerns. At the heart of CPP is the belief that a strong, nurturing caregiver-child relationship is essential to a child's healing and healthy development.
Treatment focuses on strengthening this relationship while recognizing the impact of family, cultural, and historical experiences that may influence the child's well-being. For children who have experienced trauma, the caregiver and child work together with the therapist to develop a shared understanding of the traumatic experience, helping them process difficult emotions, reduce trauma-related triggers, and build healthier patterns of emotional regulation and connection.
