Evidence-Based TherapyTailored to You
No two people experience life in the same way, so no single therapeutic approach works for everyone. Our therapists draw from a range of evidence-based methods to create treatment that's personalized, compassionate, and aligned with your goals.
Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy (CBT)
CBT aims to help you identify and explore the ways your thoughts and emotions can affect your actions by:
- Focusing on how your thoughts trigger your emotions and, in the end, impact your behavior.
- Gaining insight into your thoughts and learning how questioning them can change unhelpful patterns of emotions and behaviors.
- Changing thinking patterns, to change the way you feel and behave.
- Stopping the intrusive, worrisome, and negative thoughts that occur, to increase self-efficacy.
Typical treatment often involves the following:
