COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT)

As experts in our own struggle and how it relates to others we see the value in evidence-based practices when they are carefully combined with an anti-oppression perspective. We use a combination of interventions and perspectives to help individuals achieve their goals.

What is it?

CBT is based on the theory that the way individuals perceive a situation is more closely connected to their reaction than the situation itself. Individuals’ perceptions are often distorted and unhelpful, particularly when they are distressed. Cognitive Behavior Therapy helps people identify their distressing thoughts and evaluate how realistic the thoughts are. Then they learn to change their distorted thinking. When they think more realistically, they feel better. The emphasis is also consistently on solving problems and initiating behavioral changes.

What to expect

This intervention often used when patients wish to see some sort of change in their lives. Sessions frequency based on need (twice a week, once a week, or every other week), homework assignments, measurable outcomes. A therapist may use this intervention, in combination with other interventions, to assist people in achieving their goals, however we educate, facilitate activities, and practice skills if believe it is clinically appropriate.
