Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It operates on the premise that thoughts, emotions, and actions are connected. That by altering these negative thoughts, we can change our emotional responses and behaviors.

 

CBT is typically a short-term intervention for developing practical skills to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. This therapy encourages individuals to challenge unhelpful beliefs and replace them with healthier, more realistic ways of thinking. CBT is widely used for treating a variety of conditions, including anxiety, depression, phobias, and PTSD, and can be adapted to both individual and group therapy settings.
