Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Transforming Thought Patterns for Lasting Recovery

CBT is one of the most effective, evidence-based therapeutic techniques, helping clients reframe negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms for long-term recovery.

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It is based on the concept that our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviors—meaning that by changing the way we think, we can change how we feel and act.
