Do you feel frustrated and unhappy? Perhaps you feel that you have tried everything and you don't know what else to try. Take heart. Most people don't seek counseling until desperation has kicked in. I can give you the opportunity to talk with someone who has an unbiased view. I have 30 plus years in the medical and counseling field. Perfection is not an attainable goal, flaws are human and everyone has them. I use solution orientated therapy to help you fall in love with your true self.

Have you ever wondered how you became the "bad guy" despite your best efforts? It’s exhausting to walk on eggshells, trying to avoid conflict, while feeling that your partner doesn't really know you anymore. The joy you once shared feels like a distant memory. As you both withdraw, it’s hard to hold onto hope that you can reconnect. The silence between you can feel like miles. With so many offenses piled up, it’s as if small misunderstandings have created a wall that keeps you apart. Sometimes, it feels like you need a translator just for basic communication. You don’t have to navigate this alone—help is available to bridge the gap.

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.
