We utilize DBT and CBT to help with a variety of diagnosis and presenting problems from depression and anxiety to substance abuse and Borderline Personality Disorder.
Life brings challenges that are often unexpected, uncertain, and, at times, feel profoundly unfair. Many of us struggle with forces that disrupt our peace: grief and loss that leave an aching emptiness, addiction that binds us, mental illness that cripples our minds, relationship difficulties that create rifts, severe trauma that tears at our spirits, and life changes that leave us feeling adrift. Reaching out for help is a brave first step toward healing and finding light amidst the darkness. No matter the challenge, there is hope and healing amidst the darkness. The monsters of our lives are real, but we can defeat them, together!

Life is sometimes overwhelming. You worry that things can’t get better. You feel stuck and angry about past pain and trauma. It’s difficult to be in your head trying to “just get it right” and feeling like nothing works. On the outside you may look like you have it all together, but on the inside, you feel like a failure and unsure. You are off track, feeling lost, not like yourself. You’ve tried various changes, maybe even attended therapy before, but you keep ending up with the same unsatisfying relationships, repeating the same unhelpful behaviors, and feeling stuck.

At times we have lived a certain way, thinking certain thoughts for so long that we stop hoping or believing that we could ever feel or be any other way. Through counseling, we begin to discover that certain things we have believed and ways that we have been thinking are causing undue suffering. Having discovered this, we can then make new decisions and choices resulting in a better life that we enjoy living.

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.
