Imagine your mind as a library, filled with countless stories you've told yourself about the world, your abilities, and your relationships. Some of these stories are uplifting, while others might feel heavy, like they’ve been written in permanent ink. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is like meeting a compassionate editor who helps you revisit those narratives. Together, you identify the ones that no longer serve you and work to rewrite them with fresh perspectives. CBT isn’t about pretending everything is perfect—it’s about equipping you with practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and discover new ways to respond. It’s a journey of learning to approach life’s challenges with clarity and confidence, transforming your inner dialogue into one that empowers and uplifts you.

Starting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is like stepping into a guided workshop for your mind, where you and your therapist work together to uncover patterns in your thoughts and behaviors. You’ll start by exploring what’s troubling you most and set clear, manageable goals for change. Sessions are collaborative and focused, with your therapist acting as a supportive coach, offering tools and strategies tailored to your unique experiences. You might practice noticing and challenging unhelpful thought patterns, experimenting with new ways to respond to stress, or tackling fears step by step. Along the way, you’ll be encouraged to try these skills in your everyday life, making progress that feels tangible and meaningful. It’s a safe, empowering space designed to help you build resilience and take actionable steps toward the life you want.
The benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) extend far beyond the therapy room. It equips you with practical skills to manage life’s challenges, empowering you to navigate stress, anxiety, or negative thoughts with confidence and clarity. Through CBT, you learn to break free from unhelpful cycles and create healthier, more positive patterns in your thoughts and actions. Over time, this approach can improve your mood, strengthen your relationships, and help you feel more in control of your emotions. What’s truly transformative about CBT is its lasting impact—you’re not just solving problems in the moment but building tools you can carry with you for a lifetime, fostering resilience and a deeper sense of well-being.

Wondering if it's time to see a therapist? Maybe you're curious about therapy, but you wonder if you really “need” it. Have you recently experienced a stressor or traumatic event? Have you been experiencing changes in mood, sleep, or appetite? Have you been feeling “off,” or have you been feeling shame or loneliness? Any of these can be signs that it may be time to see a therapist.
Every therapy process is unique and tailored to your needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), emotionally-focused therapy, and talk therapy are three common treatment modalities that your therapist may use in session. However, there are a variety of other types of therapies such as EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), exposure therapy and more. If you are looking for a therapist who uses a particular type of therapy, you can search for this type of therapy on findmytherapist.com.

No, we do not. However, in cases where medication is necessary for treatment, we have preferred psychiatrists we coordinate care with in order to get you the help you need as soon as possible.
We accept most major insurances.
Whether insurance covers couples or marriage counseling varies on your insurance provider, policy, and coverage. In most cases, marriage counseling can be billed to and paid for using the mental health benefits included in most health insurance plans. If you or your partner are considering couples or marriage counseling, it is recommended that you check with your insurance provider to see whether it is covered under your insurance plan. If your insurance does not cover couples or marriage counseling and you need to pay out-of-pocket, many therapists offer sliding scale fees.
