Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is a time-sensitive, structured, present-oriented psychotherapy directed toward solving current problems and teaching clients skills to modify dysfunctional thinking and behavior. Our work using CBT is driven by the following concepts. 

Cognitive formulation: the beliefs and behavioral strategies that characterize a specific disorder

Conceptualization: understanding of individual clients and their specific beliefs or patterns of behavior

Cognitive Model: the way that individuals perceive a situation is more closely connected to their reaction than the situation itself
​
Automatic thoughts: an idea that seems to pop up in your mind
