My Treatment Approach
Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Cognitive Behavior Therapy is an evidence based treatment approach that emphasizes the reciprocal relationships between thoughts, physiological feelings, and behaviors. CBT emphasizes a collaborative relationship focused on making sustainable changes by learning tangible skills. If you are struggling to manage symptoms of anxiety and feel stuck, CBT is an excellent option for learning skills to create lasting change. CBT is time-limited, meaning once you develop the knowledge and skillset you are asked to put your skills to use with the guidance of your psychologist until you feel equipped to manage symptoms on your own.
Treatment Duration
The treatment typically spans 12-20 sessions, tailored to your needs. Success in therapy hinges on your commitment and active participation. Much of the progress occurs through practice and application of skills between sessions.
