What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most powerful evidenced based treatment for most situational and behavioral problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) delivers effective, pragmatic, and results-driven care.
How Does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) work?
-
Our Website has a simple model that illustrates the relationship between emotion, thought, and behavior that is the basis of CBT
-
CBT provides patients with practical tools to challenge negative thought patterns.
-
Treatment is collaborative—our goal is to empower patients through education and active participation in their recovery.
Medication Management
-
Psychiatric medications are used when necessary along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to manage more severe symptoms of anxiety and depression
Our Success
Our treatment is guided by three key principles:
-
Restore full functioning as quickly as possible
-
Use the latest treatments and monitoring techniques
-
Provide consistent support, including weekly sessions when needed
Many patients experience full or significant remission of symptoms.
Our Success
We believe mood and anxiety disorders are biochemical in nature, not personal failings. There is no place for guilt or stigma. We help patients understand and overcome the emotional burdens that often come with a mental health diagnosis.
