What is CBT? CBT is a psychotherapeutic treatment used to help people learn to identify and reframe their negative or disturbing thoughts. Through

breaking down these thought distortions, people can more clearly see how their negative thoughts affect their behaviors. Then, they can work to

reframe their thoughts in order to exert greater control over their behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapists use techniques and skills that have been proven to reduce depression, anxiety, and a assortment of mental health problems you might be facing. A CBT therapist will work with you on understanding your past and how that is affecting your current state of mind. While working through this, you will be learning skills that can help you with faulty thinking, learning to recognize one’s distortions in thinking that are creating problems, and then to reevaluate them in light of reality.
