You’re here because something isn’t working—and you’re ready for help that really works.
At the CBT Center, you’ll work with experienced, evidence-based therapists who get it. With over 100 years of combined experience, we help people manage challenges and build more meaningful lives.
No one-size-fits-all approach. We listen, plan together, and focus on what matters most: your goals.
Ready to take the next step?
Let’s talk and see if we’re a good fit.
And if you’re looking for something to get started now, check out Dr. Drapkin’s book on Amazon!
We take our tagline seriously: We work together on what matters to you.
We’ve got the science to back it up - and we keep learning. Our clinicians are some of the smartest (and coolest) you’ll find. We’re trained in all the acronyms: CBT, DBT, ACT, MI, ERP, and more. This is evidence-based care with heart (and fun - we like to have fun, too!).
We welcome people of all races, backgrounds, religions, gender identities, and sexual
We use a thoughtful blend of proven approaches to help you build real skills and reach your goals. Most treatment here is brief, focused, and collaborative. Our aim is to get you motivated, teach strategies that work, and support your next steps — even if that means helping you find the right fit elsewhere.
