Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
What is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy?
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a well-established, research-supported form of psychotherapy that emphasizes recognizing and altering negative thought patterns and behaviors.
It operates on the principle that thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are closely linked, and by addressing unhelpful ways of thinking, individuals can enhance their emotional health and modify their behavior in positive ways.

What can CBT Treat?
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is especially effective in treating mood disorders, anxiety conditions, and behavioral issues.
CBT is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorders, insomnia, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, and various stress- or relationship-related challenges.
Is CBT Right For You?
While CBT is highly effective for numerous mental health concerns, it may not be suitable for everyone. It could be a good fit for you if:
- You find yourself caught in unhelpful or negative thought patterns.
- You want a structured, practical approach.
- You are struggling with specific mental health challenges.
- You’re open to self-reflection and homework.
- You want to learn long-term coping skills.
If you prefer a structured, goal-oriented approach that emphasizes problem-solving and developing practical coping strategies, CBT may be an excellent choice for you.
