What is CBT

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is an evidenced-based, short-term psychotherapy with over two thousand clinical research studies demonstrating treatment effectiveness. It is the first-line treatment for a wide variety of mental health problems. CBT is focused on current struggles with a problem-solving orientation.

Clients learn that no situation can affect them until they interpret it. Viewing life based on harsh core beliefs generate automatic negative thoughts that affect mood and behavior causing a downward spiral into depression or an upward spiral heightening anxiety. Learning how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected and affect one another is the first step in treating many mental health issues. Clients learn how to change negative thinking patterns and behaviors that have held them back for years. They learn specific skills they can use for the rest of their lives.
