I describe my therapeutic approach as eclectic with a

Are you feeling down, worried, unhappy with certain circumstances or going through a difficult transition? Do you feel irritable or overwhelmed, like the stress of daily life has become unmanageable? Do you need help with parenting, family or relationship dynamics? Therapy is a safe, nonjudgemental place to discuss anything you need to. We will work together to identify unhealthy thoughts and/or behaviors, make changes & develop improved coping skills. Therapy does not have to last a lifetime - improvement can often be seen within a short period of time. If worries hang over you like a dark cloud, brighter days may be ahead!

Thus, why I utilize different types of treatment modalities and techniques (including
CBT
, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, etc.
Sometimes we need a little extra support to help us navigate the ups and downs of life. I hope you give yourself credit for taking this first step of reaching out. Counseling may not be able to change some of your external stressors, however it can be a safe non-judgmental place to share about what you are dealing with and perhaps equip you with tools to better manage situations. I believe it is important to direct our focus and energy toward what is within our control so that we are able to move forward and make progress. Change can be a challenging process, but it is possible and accomplished one step at a time.

Life is always in motion. While it can be reassuring to know that you're headed somewhere, it's just as easy to feel like you're going in circles. While their situations were unique, the people I've worked with over the years often sought support when they felt lost or disconnected. For some, these feelings were lifelong. For others, they arose following changes, like suffering a loss, entering a new stage or life, or receiving a diagnosis of serious mental illness. Therapy helps you process these challenges and rediscover your true self.

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.
