CBT
Evidence based interventions to help
you reclaim your calm.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is widely recognized as the Gold Standard therapy for anxiety. This is because the scientific evidence supporting CBT is overwhelming. We know that it works well, and it works quickly.
The concepts derived from cognitive psychology and behavioral psychology are by far
the most scientifically supported findings in psychology to date.
In CBT, cognitive and behavioral concepts are used as a framework to help individuals address the thoughts, emotions, and other personal characteristics that keep them stuck in the anxiety and stress cycle.
When using CBT in therapy, we will examine the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that contribute to your experience of stress and anxiety. You will receive practical and valuable tools to learn how to better manage anxiety and stress.
Research indicates, “The evidence-base of CBT is very strong.”
CBT can be utilized on its own or used in a more integrated approach with other types of therapy such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Utilizing CBT can help with the cognitive processes of anxiety, depression, or trauma while integrating EMDR can facilitate a deeper level of processing.
