Making the decision to participate in therapy is a big step. I applaud you for making this decision because I know it is not an easy one. Maybe you are suddenly in the midst of an emotional crisis. Something happened such as a breakup, a death, job loss or many other possibilities. Now what? How to deal with this pain or grief, loss or stressful situation. By forming a relationship with a neutral outside person who has training in these matters, you can begin to get a handle of what is going on for you, identify your thoughts and feelings and develop a plan for positive change.

Through the use of specialized therapies (including
CBT
), I help you develop the ability to manage and express your thoughts and feelings, improve your relationships, get your needs met, extinguish the need for unhealthy behaviors, and develop a sense of internal completeness.
Are you overwhelmed by daily tasks? Do you often feel that you are not good enough or that other people don't value and respect you? Do you struggle to complete tasks? Are you unorganized or messy? Is it difficult to stay focused/concentrate everyday? Are you impulsive? Do you find yourself over/under reacting emotionally? Is it difficult to make friends or to even want to? If so, you are not alone. It's likely that the sense of "something missing" you feel comes from self-acceptance issues. Others with these issues benefit from therapy everyday. Please let me help.

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.
