Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a powerful, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that has helped millions of people overcome mental health challenges.
Particularly effective for treating anxiety and depression, CBT equips individuals with practical tools to manage their thoughts, emotions and behaviors.

Whether you’re grappling with persistent worry, battling depression or dealing with a difficult breakup, our experienced CBT specialists are here to guide you towards lasting change.
Through CBT, you’ll learn to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies and cultivate resilience – all within a supportive, collaborative therapeutic relationship.
Considered a solutions-oriented form of talk therapy, CBT rests on the idea that thoughts and beliefs influence behavior.
Unlike traditional forms of psychotherapy, which tend to focus on the past and can be free-flowing, CBT is present-focused, structured and goal-oriented. In CBT, skill-building and homework exercises are critical parts of treatment.
With its emphasis on measurable actions and exercises, CBT tends to relieve depressive and anxious symptoms faster than traditional psychotherapy.
One of the reasons that working with a CBT therapist is so helpful is that it teaches people to feel empowered and resilient because relapses in thought and behavior will sometimes occur. One of the goals in cognitive behavioral therapy is to teach clients to essentially become their own therapist.
Research has consistently shown CBT to be highly effective. Studies indicate that 50-75% of people who complete CBT treatment experience significant improvement in their symptoms.
