Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a practical, goal-oriented therapy that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. If you find yourself stuck in negative thinking patterns or reacting in ways that don't feel helpful, CBT can give you tools to shift those habits. Together, we’ll identify unhelpful thoughts, explore where they come from, and learn strategies to respond in more balanced, supportive ways—so you can feel more in control of your mood, choices, and everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involve?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In CBT, you’ll work with your therapist to notice unhelpful patterns—like negative thinking or behaviors that keep you stuck—and learn practical tools to shift them.

It’s often structured and goal-oriented, and it may include things like journaling, tracking thoughts, practicing new coping skills, or gently challenging beliefs that no longer serve you. The goal is to help you feel more empowered, clear, and in control of your mental health.

How long does CBT take to work?

CBT usually starts to show benefits within 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the individual and the issue being treated. Some people notice improvements sooner, while others may need more time or sessions to see lasting change.

Who is not appropriate for CBT?

CBT isn’t the best choice for everyone. It might not work well if someone is going through a really intense crisis, having trouble thinking clearly, or experiencing things like hallucinations. We always take time to understand your situation and suggest the best type of support for you.

Can I do CBT therapy on my own?

You can definitely use some CBT techniques on your own, like noticing and challenging negative thoughts. However, working with a trained therapist can provide guidance, support, and personalized strategies that make therapy more effective and safer, especially for deeper or more complex issues.

Is CBT therapy expensive?

The cost of CBT depends on your therapist and insurance. If your therapist is in-network, CBT is often covered by insurance, so your out-of-pocket cost is usually low. If you’re out-of-network, many therapists provide a superbill—a receipt you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.
