A bit about CBT and how it can help as part of our journey together...
Both Psychotherapy (talk therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) are evidenced based treatments for mental health issues. Psychotherapy is considered the most effective therapy for depression and anxiety and CBT is a form of psychotherapy considered to be the most effective method for treating depression, anxiety & related stresses. Both are highly effective in addressing and treating many emotional, mental and interpersonal issues.
CBT, helps you to learn about your thoughts and perspectives, how they govern your behaviors & how even minor adjustments in your thought process can make desired changes in your life to help you heal and grow; learn how to have an "Open Mind For A Different View" and healing, growth, and even desired changes can come your way!
One prominent example of areas in need of CBT work is...negative thinking. Do you tend to have negative thoughts? We all have negative thoughts from time to time, but it's how they effect us and life that can be an issue of concern. Consider these questions for a second...how often do you have negative thoughts, feel like a failure because things fell short of what you desired them to be, felt like everything is doomed because one thing went "wrong", dwell on something over & over, felt responsible for things that happened even though they were out of your control, feel as if others are treating you negatively without a reason to, or find yourself minimizing or catastrophizing events for one reason or another? These are just a few ways negative thoughts effect us and our lives, there are many more, but through the use of CBT as part of your therapy you will learn that...
Negative thoughts stifle your healing, your growth, your identity, and your soul.
Through Psychotherapy & CBT along with the other methods, approaches & strategies I use, I will help you to:
Open your mind up to A Different View of yourself, your experiences, your relationships, & your life and make the changes you never thought you could. You can change the things you want to change, you can reach your goals, you can live up to your full potential, you can grow, you can heal, you can move forward, and you can thrive!!!
