Treatment Approach

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of (evidence-based) psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, severe mental illness, panic, social phobia, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety and rumination, eating disorders, marital distress, anger, chronic pain, and trauma.
Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. In many studies, CBT has been demonstrated to be as effective as, or more effective than, other forms of psychological therapy or psychiatric medications.
The cognitive therapy model states that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected and influence one another. CBT is based on the principle that psychological problems are centered in unhelpful ways of thinking and learned patterns of unhelpful behavior.
The psychologist and client work together, in a collaborative fashion, to develop an understanding of the problem and to develop a treatment strategy. CBT places an emphasis on helping individuals learn to be their own therapists. Clients are helped to develop coping skills, whereby they can learn to change their own thinking, problematic emotions, and behavior.
