I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma, EMDR, ERP, and ACT.
Many of my clients report constant uncertainty, panic, fears, an endless chase for the fleeting “good feeling”, rituals, checking, counting - it’s exhausting. The physical or mental compulsions almost always end with “Oh, crap, that didn’t feel right,” and OCD saying, “Better do it again!” The anxiety never seems to let up and they feel powerless, trapped between a rock and a hard place. And on top of all that, OCD has this way of targeting their deepest vulnerabilities, striking where it hurts the most. It’s a miserable cycle.

Hello, I'm Seth, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in the field. If we have not healed the wounds of the past, we inevitably bring those experiences into our daily lives. This can manifest in illness, addiction, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and so many more debilitating concerns. These ailments are symptoms of unhealed wounds from the past, not the actual root of the problem.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists

How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?

Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?

CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
