Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) (Major Depressive Disorder)
We offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a proven therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and restructuring negative thought patterns to promote positive behavioral change. CBT is rooted in the understanding that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected, and by changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, individuals can improve their emotional well-being. Our therapists work collaboratively with clients to identify cognitive distortions, such as negative self-talk or irrational beliefs, that contribute to emotional distress. Through structured exercises and guided introspection, we help clients challenge and replace these distortions with more balanced and realistic thoughts.
