People don’t understand how hard it is to be you.
There’s so much pressure. You need to be a good friend, lover, employee, parent, and human being. You’re supposed to love going out on the town and be a leader at work. Yet, all you really want to do is hide from the world.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach. It operates on the premise that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. It recognizes that negative thoughts trigger distressing emotions that lead to maladaptive behaviors.
Through CBT, we aim to identify and modify unhelpful thoughts to bring about positive changes in emotions and behaviors. Sessions are dedicated to identifying specific beliefs that contribute to negative emotions and unwanted behaviors.
This results-oriented approach allows you to take an active role in therapy, providing you with a toolbox of practical strategies to navigate life’s challenges.
CBT is a structured and goal-oriented therapy with a clear focus on skill building and symptom reduction. These skills are designed to empower you to manage your emotions, improve your well-being, and enhance your overall quality of life.
CBT is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Rather, it’s highly adaptable to the unique needs of each person. Reach out today to learn more about how CBT can help you.
