While working with individuals, we use Parts Work, CBT, and narrative therapy.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the fear of social situations when you hang out with friends and say something you regret? Have you ever felt like no matter how much you prepare, the anxiety of interacting with others paralyzes you? Do you find yourself avoiding social gatherings, meetings, or even casual conversations because of the intense worry and self-doubt that accompanies them? If these experiences resonate with you, you may be dealing with social anxiety or phobia. The constant fear of judgment and the anticipation of embarrassment can make everyday interactions feel daunting, leaving you isolated and longing for connection.

We will use a combination of humanistic therapy, CBT, and ACT to assist you in identifying feelings, thoughts, and beliefs that may be underlying your symptoms, hindering goals, and/or worsening chronic illnesses.
The most immediate benefit of one-on-one work is that it pulls you out of the automaticity of life. It is only when we choose to step out of our regular schedules, that we are able to reflect, assess, reorient, plan, and finally pivot. Whether you are experiencing a lack of motivation, crying spells, racing thoughts, and/or other symptoms of stress, depression, or anxiety - I will support you through this period. Although I am trained in a number of therapy modalities, my initial focus is to understand your experiences at the present moment.

Stress, anxiety, sadness, interpersonal relationship challenges, and trauma are different spectrum of life that we all have been experiencing as human. If we ignore and keep living without doing anything about it, it will keep piling up and starts affecting our overall well-being.

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.
