Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT focuses on challenging and changing cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.

I use a CBT approach in treating depression, anxiety (e.g., exposure therapy), eating disorders (Fairburn's CBT-E), and insomnia. By far, CBT has the most research evidence to support its efficacy in treating depression, eating disorders, and anxiety disorders.

All of our clinicians are trained in a CBT approach to treatment.

I have skills and training with cognitive behavioral therapy .

I help my clients set goals, behaviorally activate, identify and break negative thought patterns, identify and change core beliefs, and practice mindfulness.

Our treatment goals will center on ways that we can challenge the distortions that inform your "core beliefs" regarding your self, others, and your place in the world. You will likely be given homework to practice certain skills to develop new behavior patterns in the face of your standard triggers, while also working to build insight on how you become triggered to react in the first place.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve mental health. CBT focuses on challenging and changing cognitive distortions (e.g. thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes) and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.

This modality has a strong success rate in helping individuals better understand how their thinking impacts how they behave. And vice versa! Many times this is coming from a negative point of view: shame, worthless, hopeless, etc. CBT works to change that thinking/viewpoint and our actions.

CBT is based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and actions interact to create stress. In CBT, you learn to identify and modify the negative thoughts that influence your emotions and behaviors and change the behaviors that make problems worse. CBT interventions may include: information on condition; cognitive restructuring; relaxation skills (breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation); assertiveness training; and/or problem-solving skills.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of talking therapy. It is a common treatment for a range of mental health problems and life stressors. CBT teaches you coping skills for dealing with different problems. It focuses on how your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect your feelings, behaviors, and actions.

My training and experience in cognitive behavioral therapy is at the heart of much of my therapeutic work. Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy principles I aid my clients in overcoming limiting beliefs and in setting realistic goals for their lives. I am also trained in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy.

Cognitive behavioral therapy techniques are used to identify maladaptive behaviors and thoughts that influence your feelings. I use these techniques to redefine our internal thought process and create ways you want to think and understand yourself n

CBT helps people learn how one's thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected. Understanding the role of common unhelpful thinking styles and how they connect to our core beliefs, can help people actively make changes to those thoughts and their behavior to ultimately feel better.

I utilize CBT to help successfully treat anxiety, depression, trauma, ptsd, and negative thought patterns. I enjoy helping clients develop healthier thought patterns and live a more enjoyable life.

I have engaged in many CBT trainings over the years, including specialized CBT for Trauma (TF-CBT) and Insomnia (CBT-I).

In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundational approach to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we identify negative thought patterns that contribute to distress and explore how they impact daily life. I guide you in challenging these thoughts, replacing them with healthier, more balanced perspectives.

Cognitive behavioral therapy has been proven to effectively address mood instability, cognitive distortions and poor coping skills that increase an individual's depression and anxiety.
