I can help you rediscover the light in your life as I partner with you.
While I employ an integrative approach to therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is my primary method of helping people. CBT is based on the assumption that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors, not external things like people, situations, and events.
CBT aims to help the client to uncover and alter distortions of thought or perception in order to change their behavior and emotional state. CBT is demonstrated to be effective with depression, generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, and other conditions.
Research studies indicate that CBT is effective.
CBT is a good choice for people with the following abilities and interests:
- the capacity to examine one's own mental and emotional processes
- preference for a short-term, directive treatment
- willingness to make ongoing efforts at self-analysis and at practicing coping
skills during and beyond treatment
Upon request, I can give CBT a Christian emphasis. Just ask.
