Christian trauma therapy online in California
Evidence-based treatment for the lasting effects of trauma with Christopher P. Plant, PhD, a research-trained clinical psychologist. Treatment draws on CBT and ACT, with Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) when it fits, for civilians and veterans alike. Faith is part of treatment only if you want it.
Is this what you’re living with?
Trauma can come from one event or many: combat, assault, an accident, sudden loss, or harm in a family or church.
- Memories or nightmares that intrude without warning
- Avoiding people, places or thoughts that remind you
- Feeling on edge, irritable, or unable to sleep
- Guilt, shame, or a sense it was your fault
- Questions about God or faith since it happened
Evidence-based options for trauma
Treatment is chosen for you and what keeps you stuck, not a single protocol applied to everyone.
CBT and ACT
Loosen the hold of avoidance, guilt and fear, and move back toward what matters to you.
Cognitive Processing Therapy
A structured, time-limited option (about 12 sessions) for beliefs the trauma left behind about safety, trust, blame and worth. It’s a first-line PTSD treatment in the VA, where Dr. Plant has worked with veterans.
Faith, if you want it
Clients who ask can bring in spiritual questions such as moral injury, forgiveness, or where God was. Never required.

Trauma therapy questions
Do I have to describe every detail of what happened?
No. Evidence-based trauma treatment focuses on how the trauma affects you now more than on retelling every detail.
Does trauma therapy work over video?
Yes. Research, including trials with veterans, has found telehealth trauma treatment works about as well as in-person care.
Do you work with veterans?
Yes. Dr. Plant has worked in the VA system and treats veterans across California by telehealth.
