Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

​​​​​Your thoughts have tremendous power—but they don't have to control you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides evidence-based techniques to break negative thought patterns, develop healthier coping skills, and take charge of your emotions and behaviors for lasting positive change.

Common Experiences for People Struggling with Negative Thought Patterns

Unhelpful thinking patterns can significantly impact emotions, behaviors, and overall wellbeing. You may experience:

• Persistent negative, catastrophic, or self-critical thoughts

• Symptoms of anxiety, depression, or emotional distress

• Feeling trapped in unhealthy habits or self-defeating behaviors

• Difficulty managing stress or regulating intense emotions

• Cycles of avoidance, worry, fear, or self-doubt

• All-or-nothing thinking or perfectionism

• Rumination over past events or excessive worry about the future
