Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a short-term approach to therapy that involves teaching specific skills to individuals in order to alleviate psychological distress. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected and affect one another.

CBT techniques are grounded in evidence-based practice. CBT interventions have been supported by research studies demonstrating its helpfulness for specific problems. CBT is structured and goal-oriented. For many conditions, it is a brief, solution-focused approach.

A CBT therapist uses his or her clinical knowledge and experience to adapt the techniques to meet the client’s unique needs.

Through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), you can gain a better understanding of your responses, learn new strategies for coping, and develop better ways of thinking and responding to situations. CBT is an effective treatment for depression, anxiety disorders, anger and impulse-control problems, addiction, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, sexual disorders, and interpersonal problems.
