What is Cognitive Behavior Therapy?
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps people to change how they think, feel or act in order to improve their mood, reduce stress, or achieve other important health, relationship and life goals. Some goals may be specific, such as reducing depression, anxiety, worrying, procrastination or marital conflict, whereas others can be more general, such as figuring out why one's life seems to lack meaning, passion or direction, and figuring out what to do about it.

 

Research Support
The American Psychological Association has endorsed cognitive and behavior therapies as "well established treatments" supported by research for depression; anxiety, stress, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), agoraphobia and other phobias; health problems such as headaches, bulimia, rheumatic pain and smoking cessation; childhood difficulties such as bedwetting and oppositional behavior; and marital distress. 



Psychotherapy Formats
The CBT Institute offers individual therapy for adults of all races, ethnicities, religions and sexual orientations.  Cognitive behavior therapy is particularly well suited to address multicultural, alternative lifestyle, and religious issues. We invite you to share your concerns and aspirations with us and let us help you to explore aspects of your life that you may not feel comfortable discussing with family, friends, colleagues, or religious authorities.
