Changing the thought patterns that keep you stuck.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most well-researched forms of therapy available. It’s based on a simple but profound insight: the way we think about events affects how we feel about them, and how we feel shapes what we do. When our thinking becomes distorted — overly negative, catastrophic, or self-critical — our emotions and behaviors follow.
CBT helps you identify these unhelpful thought patterns, examine whether they’re accurate, and replace them with more balanced, realistic ways of thinking. The result isn’t forced positivity — it’s greater mental flexibility and freedom from automatic reactions that cause suffering.
I use CBT as one part of an integrated approach, combining it with other modalities to address the full complexity of what you’re experiencing.
CBT sessions are active and collaborative. We identify specific situations that trigger distress, examine the thoughts and beliefs that arise, and practice new ways of responding. Some people find it helpful to practice skills between sessions — I can guide you in that, though it’s never a requirement.
CBT is often a relatively shorter-term approach compared to some other therapies, though many clients find value in continuing after their initial goals are met, deepening the work over time.
I offer a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation. It’s a chance to talk, ask questions, and see if working together feels right.
