Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a short-term and problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people to decrease unhelpful patterns of behavior.

CBT is grounded in the belief that it is one’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how one feels and acts in response.

CBT can help with:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Panic attacks
• Phobias
• Obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD)
• Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Substance use/abuse
• Persistent pain
• Disordered eating
• Sexual concerns
• Anger management issues

CBT sessions are structured to ensure that both therapist and client are focused on the different goals of each session which in turn ensures that each session is productive.
