Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapists in Three Hills, AB
I employ various forms of therapy, with the main ones being Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotion-Focused therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT), and Solution- Focused therapy (SFT).
Welcome here! My practice is based on the belief that the brain has the ability and knows what it needs to heal. I employ EMDR and other techniques to help clients work through traumatic experiences, negative belief systems, and other barriers that keep triggers and their automatic emotional and/or physical responses active and impeding quality of life. No one is too 'broken' or 'damaged' to experience healing and feel better. I work with children and adults, and my main focus is trauma (childhood, abuse, work, relational, complex, etc) and PTSD, though I have experience helping clients with grief and loss, mood disorders, and more.

As we move through our life experiences, we develop patterns and ways of being and coping that may no longer serve us. Our past gives us clues to our present and with this understanding we can change our future. Do you feel like you don’t know who you are? Do patterns in your relationships and life feel impossible to break? Are you dimming your own light to fit into who you think you should be?

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
