Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Understanding CBT

What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based approach to mental health that helps individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It’s based on the idea that negative thought patterns can trap us in cycles of distress—and that by changing these thoughts, we can improve how we feel and act.

How CBT Works

CBT is a collaborative, goal-oriented form of therapy. During sessions, you’ll work with your therapist to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop healthier perspectives, and learn coping strategies to manage everyday challenges.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, or low self-esteem, CBT provides tools to:

​

    •    Recognize and reframe negative thoughts

    •    Manage overwhelming emotions

    •    Develop problem-solving skills

    •    Build resilience and confidence

What to Expect in CBT Sessions

Each CBT session is structured and focused on your goals. You’ll learn techniques you can practice between sessions, giving you the skills to handle difficulties long after therapy ends. Progress is measured, and your feedback is always part of the process.
