I am a Client-Centered Therapist who often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy, gather biological, psychological, and social dynamics and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions to challenge negative thinking and improve
