She actively listens and creates a space of authenticity, openness, care, respect, non-judgment, flexibility, and warmth. She assists clients with finding meaning in life stressors and pivoting in ways that make everyday life easier and enjoyable to help clients exude power, happiness, and resilience. She also helps clients with becoming more empathetic towards themselves as well as with others.

You are a man in middle-age who has never been in therapy before, but you are beginning to be constantly anxious and depressed. Throughout life you have been proud of your ability to just “deal with it,” but now that has taken an emotional toll. Perhaps you are experiencing issues caring for an elderly parent or experiencing empty nest syndrome. Maybe you are finding it increasingly difficult to manage stressors in your job or having communication problems in your current relationship, all of which have suddenly made you feel overwhelmed.

Cognitive

CBT

Your teen is going through a difficult time in their life. Teenage years are filled with self doubt, questioning identity, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, relationship problems, family conflict, and school difficulties. A lot of teens keep their feelings and issues inside. It is normal for them to start to share less with their parents. Therapy can help your teen to open up to a professional about the issues they are experiencing and to process their feelings better so that they can feel their best. As a teen therapist, I build rapport rapidly with teens and they enjoy having a safe place to talk about their problems.

At times, unconscious patterns get in the way of being your best self. Work, school, relationships, health, family, addiction, or financial stressors affect your daily life. Maybe you need a confidant, coach, or ally, to help guide you through difficult times and manage day to day stress. I believe that by building increased insight and awareness into these patterns leads to emotional growth, emotional wellbeing and mental resilience.

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.
