What We Do?

CBT is used to deal with a broad spectrum of disorders. We, however, are specifically dealing with behavioral interventions related to anxiety, anger management, mania, core beliefs about self, others, and the world, relationship conflicts, mindfulness training, negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs, and more.

SMART goals are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-limited.

2. Guided Discovery And Questioning

By questioning the assumptions you have about yourself or your current situation, you will learn to challenge these thoughts and consider different viewpoints.

3. Self-Talk.

Assess what you tell yourself about a certain situation or experience and challenge yourself to replace negative or critical self-talk with compassionate, constructive self-talk.

4. Cognitive Restructuring

This involves looking at any cognitive distortions affecting your thoughts — such as black-and-white thinking, jumping to conclusions, or catastrophizing — and beginning to unravel them.

5. Thought Record

In this technique, you’ll record evidence supporting negative beliefs and evidence against it. Then, you’ll use this evidence to develop a more realistic thought.

6. Positive Activities

Scheduling a rewarding activity each day can help increase overall positivity and improve mood. Some examples might be buying fresh flowers or fruit, watching your favorite movie, or taking a picnic lunch to the park.
