Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) Initial Consultation & Program Enrollment

Streamline Your CPT Therapy Intake with Paperform

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based treatment for PTSD that requires careful onboarding and clear communication about the therapeutic process. This template helps mental health professionals, therapists, and counseling practices efficiently screen clients, explain the CPT methodology, and establish commitment to the 12-session protocol.

Why This Template Works for Mental Health Professionals

For therapists specializing in trauma treatment, this form serves multiple purposes: it collects essential background information, educates potential clients about what CPT involves, assesses readiness for the program, and secures informed commitment. By clearly outlining expectations around stuck point identification, Socratic questioning techniques, and between-session written assignments, you reduce no-shows and increase treatment completion rates.

The form guides prospective clients through understanding the structured nature of CPT while collecting the clinical information you need to determine appropriateness for treatment. This dual function saves valuable session time and ensures clients arrive to their first appointment with realistic expectations.

Automate Your Clinical Workflow

With Paperform's conditional logic and integrations, you can route urgent cases immediately, send automated appointment confirmations, and trigger follow-up workflows. Connect to your practice management software or use Stepper to create multi-step onboarding sequences that include consent forms via Papersign, calendar invitations, and pre-session preparation materials.

Whether you're a solo practitioner or part of a larger mental health practice, this template helps you maintain clinical rigor while providing a compassionate, professional first touchpoint for individuals seeking PTSD treatment.
