    Why choose cognitive behavioral therapy

    Depression

    Address negative thoughts that contribute to depression and encourage activities that reduce depressive symptoms.

    Anxiety

    CBT has been found to improve symptoms of anxiety disorders, like generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder.

    Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

    Research shows that CBT can reduce PTSD symptoms, as well as feelings of depression and anxiety in people with PTSD.

    Eating disorders

    CBT focuses on behavioral changes to help cultivate better coping methods and a healthier attitude around food.

    Substance use disorders

    CBT can help people with substance use disorders identify harmful behavior patterns, and develop healthier coping skills.

    Interpersonal conflict

    CBT can improve communication and conflict resolution skills by helping individuals manage emotions and reactions in relationships, leading to healthier interactions.

    Common CBT techniques

    Cognitive restructuring

    Cognitive restructuring focuses on recognizing irrational thoughts and replacing them with more realistic and positive thoughts.

    Behavioral activation

    Behavioral activation helps encourage people to engage in activities that generate positive feelings, like joy, satisfaction, and fulfillment.

    Problem solving

    CBT empowers people to take an active role in identifying and overcoming mental health challenges by breaking down problems into more manageable situations.

    Relaxation and stress-reduction techniques

    CBT teaches relaxation techniques, like guided imagery and deep breathing exercises, to reduce stress and tension during difficult moments.
