Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy used for various mental health issues, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, and/or psychosocial conditions. The basic premise of CBT is that the way we think affects the way we feel and behave. This is a problem-focused, interactive form of therapy where we we work together to identify different approaches to overcoming problem areas.

CBT entails focusing on self-awareness by evaluating various beliefs and thought patterns. This provides direction toward finding different approaches and coping skills for more effective day-to-day functioning. CBT is typically experienced in an integrated approach with other forms of therapy (e.g. Schema Therapy, Relaxation Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Exposure Therapy, Neuro Emotional Technique, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, etc.).
