Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a number of problems including but not limited to: depression, anxiety, alcohol and substance use problems, eating disorders and severe mental illness. Research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in daily functioning and
quality of life. CBT is one of the most effective psychotherapy treatments for a wide range of issues. It is considered to be an evidence-based, short-term and goal-oriented treatment. CBT is different from many other psychotherapies because sessions are structured, as opposed to discussing whatever comes to
mind. We will work on specific problems identified by you and work together to set goals. The aim of CBT is to change the patterns of thinking or behaviors that are behind a persons difficulties, so as to change the way a person feels in an effective way. CBT can be used with adolescents, teens and adults.
