What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

You’re Not Alone—And You Don’t Have to Carry It All by Yourself

Let’s talk about something that affects so many of us—mental health. Did you know that 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experiences a mental health condition every year? That’s not just a statistic—it’s friends, family members, coworkers, maybe even you. And nearly 10 million people live with a serious mental illness. On top of that, over 21 million Americans struggle with substance use each year. These aren’t just numbers—they’re real people with real stories, doing their best to get through each day.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or just not like yourself lately, know this: you’re not broken, and you’re definitely not alone. Life can be incredibly hard sometimes—and it’s okay to need support.

Therapy offers a safe space to breathe, to be heard, and to start healing. Whether you’re facing a specific struggle or just trying to feel more like you again, we’re here to walk alongside you with compassion, clarity, and care.

You deserve support. You deserve healing. And you don’t have to wait until things get “bad enough” to ask for help.

CBT Can Help

If you’re dealing with anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, anger, bulimia, psychosomatic symptoms, or just feeling overwhelmed by daily stress—you’re not alone. These challenges can take a real toll on your mind and body, but the good news is: things can get better.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most well-researched and effective approaches for addressing a wide range of emotional and physical concerns. In fact, the journal Cognitive Therapy and Research calls its evidence base “very strong”—and for good reason.

So what exactly is CBT?

CBT is a practical, goal-focused therapy that helps you recognize and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. It’s not about pretending everything is fine—it’s about learning how to respond to life’s challenges with greater clarity, balance, and resilience.

In our work together, we’ll take a close look at the thoughts that may be fueling your distress. We’ll ask questions like, “Is this thought really true?” and “What’s another way of looking at this?”—not to judge or criticize, but to gently challenge patterns that may be holding you back.

Together, we’ll uncover healthier ways to relate to yourself and your experiences. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of control over your life.

CBT is not a quick fix, but it is a powerful, evidence-based path toward healing and lasting change. I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

You deserve to feel better. Let’s take that first step—together.
