You may be stuck. Confused. Literally at a standstill in your life right now, and you don't know which way to go. Maybe you've confided in family, friends, your partner, and no one could give you actual advice and insight that will lead you in the right direction. I get it. I understand not knowing which way to turn and feeling inadequate and like no one can give you the answers you seek. Maybe you just made a wrong turn and need help getting back on track. Let me let you in on a little secret: The answer lies in you. Yes, YOU. You are capable of more than you realize, and you will soon find out.

Life can be challenging for many reasons. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by stress, feelings of loss, and/or disconnection. Often, we look around us and ask why others seem not to share similar struggles. This can lead to feelings of being stuck, confusion, hopelessness and/or feeling misunderstood. Therapy offers both a space and an opportunity for us to reconnect with those parts of ourselves that feel out of sorts.

Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists
What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?
The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.
Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?
Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?
REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
