CBT is an active, collaborative, problem-focused, time-limited therapy rooted in addressing the interconnections between thoughts, behaviors, and emotions driving many mental health challenges. CBT aims to provide you with the tools to overcome your current challenges and to become your own therapist, all in a program of weeks or months, not years. Through CBT, you’ll learn tools to overcome your current challenges and help curtail the need for professional therapy services in the future.
