Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a goal-oriented, time-limited approach that helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together with your therapist, you will explore how certain beliefs and patterns may have developed and how they influence your daily life. You will also learn practical strategies and behavioral exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and create meaningful change.

At the start of therapy, you and your therapist will set clear, achievable goals tailored to your needs. These goals are reviewed throughout your sessions to ensure steady progress and adjust as needed. While CBT provides structure, it remains flexible to fit your unique circumstances and personal growth. This approach, being time-limited, encourages focus on tangible outcomes while making the most of each session.

Homework is an essential part of CBT. You may be asked to complete exercises between sessions, such as writing tasks or behavioral experiments. These activities help reinforce what you practice in sessions and allow you to apply new skills in your daily life.

By examining your thoughts and behaviors in session and through homework, you will gain insight into patterns that may be holding you back. Together, you will work to shift these patterns, helping you feel more in control, think more adaptively, and respond to life’s challenges with confidence.

Sessions last 50 minutes and can be scheduled in advance by phone or email.
