Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - It Works!

...Our emotions and our actions are not separate from our thoughts. They are all interrelated. Thinking is the gateway to our emotions--and our emotions are the gateway to our actions. By Dr. Arthur Freeman and Rose Dewolf, "The 10 Dumbest Mistakes Smart People Make and How to Avoid Them"

Irrational thoughts, beliefs and goals effect our emotions and our actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy's (CBT) premise is increase awareness of these irrational thought patterns and increasing the frequency of realistic thoughts and development of realistic goals and interpretations. Our thoughts affect our reality. CBT is considered an Evidence Based Treatment for Depression, Anxiety, BiPolar disorders and even Schizophrenia. This means that researchers have determined that CBT works! Contact Us for more information!
