How Anxiety & Depression Therapy Works
Things aren’t going the way you expected.
Through evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and relaxation techniques, we’ll address the underlying cause of your anxiety and depression. You’ll learn practical skills to challenge negative thoughts, manage stress, and cultivated a greater sense of inner peace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a type of therapy that focuses on how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. The basic idea is that our thoughts influence our feelings and behaviors, and by changing our thoughts, we can change how we feel and act.
In CBT, we work together to identify unhelpful or negative thought patterns that might be causing you distress or keeping you stuck in unhelpful behavior patterns. Once we've identified these patterns, we work on challenging and changing them to be more realistic and helpful.
CBT is about empowering you to take control of your thoughts and behaviors so that you can live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. It's a practical and solution-focused approach that can help you make lasting changes and overcome the challenges you're facing.
