Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a collaborative, goal‑oriented approach that zeroes in on current symptoms and teaches practical skills to manage them. Developed in the 1960s by Dr. Aaron T. Beck, CBT highlights the powerful link between thoughts and feelings, helping you spot—and correct—unhealthy thinking patterns. Through a blend of cognitive and behavioral strategies, you’ll learn to reshape beliefs, modify behaviors, and improve emotional wellness.

Benefits

CBT Benefits

Typical CBT goals include: identifying and reframing distorted thoughts, altering negative beliefs tied to painful emotions, developing coping techniques for anxiety and depression, and breaking the cycle of avoidance through behavioral exercises. If you’re ready for a structured, evidence‑based therapy that gives you actionable tools, CBT may be the right fit.

Who it's for

Why Start CBT?

Some common reasons to choose CBT are: experiencing persistent anxiety or depression, struggling with substance use or anger management, facing chronic stress, or seeking a therapy with clear, homework‑driven steps to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT empowers you to practice new skills both inside and outside the therapy session.

Outcomes

How can CBT help me?

You’ll learn to recognize and challenge automatic, distorted thoughts, reducing their hold on your emotions and actions. By engaging in targeted behavioral techniques—like graduated exposure and relaxation training—you’ll weaken the link between triggers and fear or avoidance. Over time, these proven strategies foster lasting resilience, emotional balance, and improved overall well‑being.

Client Feedback

Transformative experience that changed my life for the better.

When we hit a roadblock, we are still able to draw upon the tools we were given in the summer work shop to work through obstacles. I can reminder that she can do this, and that she has the tools by encouraging her to reflect on what she learned about self advocacy, organization, journaling etc.

Erica worked with us for 10 years from 2nd grade through high school. She was able to change the course of his schooling and meet his needs that were NOT being met by the school system. There's no way we could have navigated this alone without her expertise.
