Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is see if Cognitive Processing Therapy and STAIR Narrative Therapy work to treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual/aromantic, and all other sexual or gender minority (LGBTQIA+) adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do these treatments reduce PTSD symptoms in LGBTQIA+ patients? * Do these treatments help improve quality of life and reduce depression in LGBTQIA+ patients? * Do stress from stigma and discrimination and drug/alcohol use change the impact of the treatment on PTSD symptoms? * Are LGBTQIA+ patients satisfied with these treatments? Do these treatments work differently among different groups within the LGBTQIA+ community? * Do LGBTQIA+ patients complete these treatments? Study participants will receive one of these two PTSD treatments. Participants will complete assessments before and after receiving treatment.
