What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
CBT is a form of talk therapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is based on the idea that our thoughts significantly influence our emotions and actions. By exploring and reshaping these thought patterns, individuals can learn healthier ways to cope with difficult situations and improve their overall well-being. Our licensed therapists use CBT to help clients gain insight into their thought processes and develop effective coping strategies.

What to Expect in a CBT Session
In CBT sessions, you will actively engage with your therapist to explore your thought patterns and identify areas for change. The process involves:
- Identifying Negative Thoughts: Exploring automatic thoughts that contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, or stress.
- Challenging Cognitive Distortions: Learning to recognize and question distorted thinking, such as overgeneralization, catastrophizing, or all-or-nothing thinking.
- Developing Coping Strategies: Building practical skills to manage daily stressors and improve emotional regulation.
- Setting and Achieving Goals: Working with your therapist to set short- and long-term goals that align with your desired changes and personal growth.
CBT is structured, goal-oriented, and typically involves weekly sessions that promote steady progress and empowerment.
