My therapy style is collaborative, and I use research based techniques like CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy to give you the support you’re looking for.
You’re Asking Yourself When Things Changed, & What Caused It. If you look in a mirror & feel like you don’t recognize the person looking back at you… Maybe you vaguely remember the last time you were happy, & everything was going right, but you don’t know how to get back there– You're not alone. We have all been there at one point or another in our lives. But, I believe that You Have The Power To Be The Person You Want To Become. In every session you’ll experience a safe space where you, or your child, can unpack life’s troubles, in the journey of finding freedom, healing, and wholeness. Together, we can get your life back on track.

I tend to lean heavily on cognitive behavioral therapy, when working with individuals.
Greetings, my name is Abram. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, working in the field for approximately 10 years. I have worked with a variety of individuals, and couples over the course of my career. My goal as a therapist, is to work myself out of a job. In other words, I want to help my clients, identify their goals, and then work towards their goals, in a relatively short period of time. In my professional experience, most people come to therapy as a result of relationship discord, or persistent distressing emotions. My goal is to assist my clients in finding relief from distressing, emotion, and enjoy relationships.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy in the majority of my cases.
I started my practice in 1994 with a desire to help people through their difficult situations. As a father my heart goes out to children. I strive to meet people where they are and help them become the best they can be. The majority of my practice is made up of children and teens but I also work with a number of adults and couples. It is important to note not everyone is ready to face their struggles or change their situation. While I would like to help everyone the person must be ready and motivated for therapy to be effective.

My therapeutic approach is client-centered and attachment-focused while incorporating play, art, or sand-tray therapy and CBT treatment modalities to help children address trauma-related problems.
For many of us, our pains and heartaches can be felt in every aspect of our lives, physically, emotionally, mentally, behaviorally, and relationally. My experience includes assisting children, adolescents, adults, and families who are dealing with problems related to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, trauma, and major life transitions. These feelings and experiences can be incredibly overwhelming, confusing, and isolating and I am passionate about helping people develop coping strategies, process painful experiences, and heal and grow so that they can live a fulfilling life.

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.
