Unlock a New You with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Aaron T. Beck developed cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in the 1960s after noticing that clients’ negative thoughts were often linked to negative emotions, leading to unhealthy coping behaviors. By helping clients analyze their evaluations of events, he could assist them in viewing their situations differently, thereby alleviating their negative emotions and problematic behaviors.
Why Choose CBT?
Numerous studies have demonstrated that CBT is as effective, if not more so, than other forms of therapy or psychiatric medication for treating anxiety and depression. In CBT, the therapist and client collaborate to examine the client’s present circumstances rather than focusing on how childhood experiences may have influenced their current distress. The therapy typically is short-term and emphasizes understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Clients also learn to recognize distorted thinking patterns and evaluate the validity of their thoughts, including their perceptions of others' motivations.
What to Expect:
Identify & Challenge Distorted Thinking: Learn to recognize and evaluate the validity of your thoughts, enhancing your understanding of yourself and others.
Behavioral Experiments: Engage in practical exercises to test your beliefs about yourself and the world, with the goal of overcoming fears and fostering personal growth.

Ongoing Progress Monitoring: Your journey matters. Symptoms are periodically assessed to ensure you are making progress and your treatment plan is adjusted as needed.
