Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy right for me?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment used to help treat a wide range of mental health disorders. CBT has been around for sometime and first established in 1960’s. In my practice, I utilize CBT to treat individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma. A key components of CBT is to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns which are fueling their depression or anxiety.

Through CBT, individuals learn how to reframe unhelpful thoughts, which can lead to healthier ways of thinking and coping. In therapy, client learn how to examine their thoughts, understand how thoughts impact emotions, and how emotions drive behavior. Clients also develop skills to manage strong emotions, improve problem-solving, and enhance confidence. CBT helps empower individuals to take control over their thoughts in order to create positive change in their lives.

PTSD Treatment

What is Prolonged Exposure?

Trauma can leave individuals grappling with profound confusion and a deep sense of disconnection from others. Memories associated with the trauma often gives rise to overwhelming feelings of anxiety and fear, and can impact daily functioning. By offering a safe space for healing and growth, I assist clients in overcoming trauma and rediscovering a profound sense of connection with themselves and the world.

Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy specifically designed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It involves gradually confronting distressing trauma-related memories, situations, and emotions in a safe and controlled manner. By facing these triggers repeatedly and over time, individuals can learn to process and reduce the negative impact of PTSD.

The goal of PE therapy is to help individuals confront and process their trauma, ultimately reducing the severity of their PTSD symptoms and improving their overall quality of life.

It is important to note that PE treatment should only be conducted by trained mental health professional to ensure the safety and well-being of the individual undergoing treatment.

If you or a loved one would benefit from PE treatment, please contact me to schedule a consultation.
