Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps people change negative thought and behavior patterns to improve their lives. It involves identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs, using techniques like exposure therapy and cognitive restructuring, and applying learned skills through homework assignments.

  • Depression and anxiety

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

  • Eating disorders

  • Addictions

  • Sleep problems

  • Chronic pain and other physical conditions

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a structured, evidence-based treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that helps individuals change negative thoughts and beliefs about trauma to reduce distressing symptoms. It is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. During CPT, patients work with a therapist to identify and challenge “stuck points” or distorted beliefs about themselves, others, and the world that were created by the trauma. CPT typically involves about 12 weekly sessions and has been shown to be effective in helping people recover from PTSD.

  • Depression
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Other trauma-related issues

Mindfulness therapy is a treatment method that teaches individuals to pay attention to the present moment without judgment through techniques like mindful breathing, body scans, and meditation. It helps clients observe thoughts and feelings, reduce emotional reactivity, and cultivate self-compassion. Therapists guide patients to notice their experiences, gently redirect their focus, and practice acceptance, often with guided meditations, body awareness, and other practices in sessions and as homework.
