Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

A goal-oriented psychotherapy focused on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used and evidence-based form of psychotherapy that focuses on the interconnection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Developed in the 1960s by Dr. Aaron Beck, CBT has since become one of the most researched and effective treatments for a wide range of mental health issues and behavioral problems.

At its core, CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts and interpretations of events significantly influence our emotional responses and behaviors. By identifying and modifying dysfunctional thought patterns and behaviors, individuals can achieve significant improvements in their mental health and overall well-being.

What to expect

CBT often involves homework assignments and skill-building exercises, empowering you to become an active participant in your own recovery. Courses of CBT are typically time-limited (around 12 to 20 sessions), and the skills learned can be applied long after therapy has ended, providing tools for managing future challenges and preventing relapse.
