Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Is Your Mind Working Against You?
Do you find yourself stuck in negative thought loops or self-criticism?
Are you constantly anticipating the worst—or doubting yourself no matter how hard you try?
Does anxiety, depression, or overwhelm make it hard to feel in control of your life?
Your thoughts shape how you feel—and how you show up in the world. When those thoughts are distorted by fear, shame, or past experiences, it can feel like your mind is working against you. But you don’t have to stay stuck in that cycle.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to help you break free from unhelpful patterns and build a healthier, more empowered way of thinking.
What Is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most well-researched and widely used approaches in modern mental health care. It’s based on the idea that your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are deeply connected—and by changing how you think, you can change how you feel and act.
CBT is particularly effective for:
Anxiety and panic attacks
Depression or low self-esteem
OCD or intrusive thoughts
Perfectionism and self-criticism
Stress and overwhelm
Trauma recovery and emotional regulation
It’s not about “just thinking positive.” CBT helps you identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, replacing them with more accurate, balanced ways of thinking that support your well-being.
A Practical and Empowering Approach to Healing
CBT is a structured, skills-based therapy that helps you make real changes in how you think, cope, and navigate daily life. But it’s also collaborative and compassionate—designed to help you feel more capable, not more criticized.
Together we will work to:
-
Identify Unhelpful Thought Patterns
We’ll uncover the automatic thoughts and beliefs that are fueling emotional distress—and explore where they come from.
-
Learn New Coping Skills
You’ll gain tools to manage anxiety, reframe negative thinking, reduce overwhelm, and build emotional resilience.
-
Change Behavioral Patterns
When your thoughts change, your actions often follow. Together, we’ll identify avoidance cycles, procrastination habits, or perfectionistic behaviors—and create healthier alternatives.
-
Strengthen Self-Awareness and Confidence
Over time, CBT helps you feel more in control of your thoughts, more emotionally grounded, and more confident in handling life’s challenges.
What You Can Expect in CBT Therapy
CBT is an active, goal-oriented form of therapy. You’ll learn practical strategies in session—and also have opportunities to practice them between sessions so they become part of your daily life.
You can expect to:
Understand the link between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
Learn how to recognize and shift distorted thinking
Develop healthier responses to stress, fear, and self-doubt
Build a toolkit for managing anxiety, depression, or overwhelm
Increase your emotional awareness and decision-making confidence
CBT empowers you with tools that you can use long after therapy ends—so you’re not just feeling better, but staying better.
