I work through the lens of CBT and DBT to identify cognitive distortions and highlight strengths.
Making the decision to look on this website for a therapist is a big step. I respect and value your commitment to yourself. It can be hard to do something good for yourself, to take up space instead of always giving it away. I work with clients who are working on increasing their self-esteem, who are interested in exploring their identity, values, and needs. I work with clients who have been impacted by that pestering anxiety, depression, or eating disorder voice! I know it's really tough to be louder than that voice! I work with kids, teens, and adults who are figuring out how to cope with ADHD or other learning differences!

I utilize a strengths based, solution focused approach incorporating MBSR, CBT and hypnotherapy.
Life presents us with many situations and many requirements that are very stressful. Trying to cope and manage these events can cause both anxiety and depression if the challenge seems overwhelming or unattainable . Many of these stressors may be very specific situations such as performance as an athlete or musician or public speaker. Some are more unpredictable such as coping with a loss or life transition. So often we expect ourselves to "push through" or "deal with it" and we don't accept and honor the difficulty of these stressors. Many times, despite our best efforts it is difficult to deal with these situations on our own.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists

How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?

Cognitive behavioral 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 catastrophizing 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 behavioral therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral 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 behavioral therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral 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.
