I am trained in Basic Technique of Neuro Emotional Technique that is a stress-reduction tool to past experiences and also informed in Solution Focused and CBT.
Imagine ordering a new recliner from a store. You are so excited when it arrives to your home. What they don't tell you is that they the people who delivered it will just drop it off and leave. What they also don't tell you is that on the side of the box it has a picture with two stick figures carrying the box together. You try to lift it and you simply can't. That's the same idea when we deal with our problems we go through in life. We try to "lift" them on our own, when simply can't. This is where I come in.

As a Gestalt and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy therapist, I believe it is beneficial for the client to establish and nourish their self awareness indefinitely.
Hi, I'm Chelsea. My philosophy is deeply rooted into self awareness. The 6 types of basic emotion are sadness, happiness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust. Sometimes we experience the emotions but don’t have the words to describe them. Sometimes we can explain exactly how we feel but struggle to show it. Though we may not have control over the cause of our life obstacles, we have the power of choice and ultimate control over our reaction to said struggles. Knowing the 6 basic emotions and our reactions when experiencing them is the beginning of self awareness. Being self aware affects both our inter- and intrapersonal connections.

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.
