Hey there!

Yes, there are a few organizations and institutions that specialize in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). One of the most well-known is the National Center for PTSD, which is part of the Department of Veterans Affairs. They offer a range of treatments for veterans with PTSD, including CPT, and they have reported high success rates for their patients.

Another organization that specializes in CPT is the Center for Deployment Psychology. They offer training and resources for mental health professionals who want to learn how to implement CPT with their clients. According to their website, CPT has been shown to be an effective treatment for PTSD in a variety of settings, including with military and civilian populations.

There are also many private practice therapists who specialize in CPT. It can be helpful to ask for referrals from your primary care physician, or to search online for therapists in your area who have experience with CPT.

In terms of success rates, it's important to note that everyone's experience with therapy is different. However, there have been many studies that have shown CPT to be an effective treatment for PTSD. For example, a 2015 study found that CPT was more effective than supportive counseling for reducing PTSD symptoms in veterans. Another study from 2017 found that CPT was effective at reducing PTSD symptoms and improving quality of life for survivors of intimate partner violence.

Of course, success rates also depend on a variety of factors, including the severity of the PTSD symptoms, the individual's motivation to engage in therapy, and the ability of the therapist to tailor the treatment to the individual's needs. That's why it's important to work with a therapist who is experienced in using CPT and who you feel comfortable with.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
