Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)* is a short-term type of psychotherapy based on the simple fact that the way we think affects the way we feel, which affects the way we behave. The goal of CBT treatment is for you to identify, then challenge, and then change counterproductive thought patterns. These steps result in a clear change in our responses to difficult situations.

CBT is found to be effective for people of all ages, from children to adults. It can address numerous conditions, such as major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and many others.
