I have a master’s degree in social work from New York University, where I also received a postgraduate advanced certification in Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
I believe that therapy is most effective when it is a collaboration. I do more than just listen; I provide honest and helpful feedback while supporting your goals and values. During the therapeutic process, you will gain a deeper understanding of what you want out of life and develop skills to help you attain it. You will know if you are benefiting from therapy based on how you feel and act outside of our sessions. You will start to see yourself consistently making choices that move your life in a positive direction, even in the face of difficult and painful emotions.

If you, or someone you know is going through a tough time, talking to someone is one of the best possible things you can do. One of the advantages of talking to a counselor is that they do not know your friends, your family and they do not have opinions about how you should be living your life. It can be easier to open up and tell me things you might not tell other people. You do not have to worry about being judged.

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.
