Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Do you feel stuck in a cycle of negative thinking or self-defeating behaviors? Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly practical, goal-oriented approach that helps you break free from those patterns.
A Simple But Powerful Premise
Your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected. By changing one element, you can influence the others and create positive change in your life.
How CBT Works for You
Become Your Own Therapist: We work together to identify the specific negative thought patterns—the “automatic thoughts”—that are keeping you stuck in anxiety, depression, or distress.
A Focus on Skills: This is a short-term, structured therapy that focuses on teaching you concrete, practical skills you can use right now to manage difficult situations. You’ll learn how to challenge unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more realistic, balanced perspectives.
Real-World Practice: We often assign "homework" (simple exercises, like keeping a thought journal or trying a new behavior) between sessions. This ensures the skills you learn in our office become real habits in your daily life.
Effective for Many Challenges
CBT is one of the most well-researched therapies and is highly effective for managing
Anxiety and Panic
Depression
Phobias and OCD
Stress and Anger Issues
Relationship Conflicts
If you are looking for a hands-on, collaborative approach with measurable results, CBT can empower you to gain control over your reactions and achieve your personal goals.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Are you ready to start building the life you want? Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a highly efficient, hopeful approach that focuses entirely on your desired future and the concrete steps needed to get there.
An Empowering and Focused Approach
SFBT trusts that you already have the strengths and resources to make changes you need to make, and that you just need a guide to help you uncover and use them.
What to Expect in SFBT
Focus on Solutions, Not Problems: We spend less time analyzing why you're struggling and more time exploring how you can start making things better immediately. If something is working in your life, we figure out how to do more of it.
Future-Driven Goals: We use specific, powerful questions to help you visualize what life will look like when your problem is resolved.
Highlighting Exceptions: We look for exceptions - those times when the problem could have happened, but didn't, or when things were just a little bit better. These moments hold the keys to your personal solutions.
Brevity and Results: SFBT is considered a brief therapy, making it efficient and cost-effective. We work collaboratively to set clear, small goals that create positive momentum and empower you to move on quickly.
