Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a psychotherapeutic approach in which patients learn to understand their own thoughts and feelings and how this influences their behavior. During treatment, patients learn how to identify thinking patterns that are having a negative influence on their lives. For example, a person who is depressed may spend time thinking about all the things in life that would be better if they were not depressed or a person with anxiety might spend time worrying excessively about their anxiety. The goal in CBT is to come to an understanding that we cannot control the world around us but we can learn alternative ways to interpret the world and to respond to what happens around us. The treatment is generally short-term.

Testimonial

“Even though we no longer meet, I carry within the wisdom you shared with me during our many sessions: in moments of uncertainty I ask myself, ‘What would Petra say or do?’, and you voice of reason shines through bright and clear, illuminating my path and dispelling the haze of uncertainty.”
— Former Cient
