Cognitive

Therapy


Cognitive Behavioral Therapy aims to help you explore your negative thoughts or emotions and how they affect your actions.

Once you understand these behaviors, you can learn how to improve or break patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a therapeutic approach that helps address unhelpful ways of thinking, learned patterns of behavior, emotional distress resulting from negative thoughts, and learning how these emotions can influence our thoughts. Through CBT, you can find help to manage these thought patterns that would ultimately reduce future stress, smoothly manage problems as they arise, and gain acceptance while destroying self-defeating thoughts and replacing them with encouraging ones.
