This training is exclusively for CSC-FEP providers and does not result in CBTp certification.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for psychosis (CBTp) is an individualized, evidence-based psychological treatment for individuals with psychotic disorders. The primary goals of CBTp are to reduce the distress associated with the symptoms of psychosis and to improve functioning and quality of life for the person experiencing psychotic symptoms.
CBTp Training Program:
The CBTp training program will be open to therapists working on a Texas CSC-FEP team.
This virtual training program will consist of three 4-hour training sessions on October 20-23, 2026 (9:00am-1:00pm CST) followed by a series of twelve 50-minute consultation calls. The training sessions will orient CSC-FEP therapists to the theory, evidence-base, and application of CBTp.
Workshop Learning Objectives include:
• Articulate the rationale and primary goals associated with CBTp
• Understand the fundamental principles of CBTp and associated stylistic and structural components
• Rehearse CBTp strategies that target distress and disability associated with psychosis
Consultation Calls:
Following the 3-day training, two consultation cohorts (maximum 10 participants each) will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. A sign-up sheet will be provided on Day 1 of the training. Consultation calls for Cohort 1 (9am-10am CST) and Cohort 2 (10am-11am CST) will run from Tuesday, October 27, 2026, through March 9, 2027. For the full calendar, please see below.
