Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a short-term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people change their behaviors and the way they relate to their thoughts and feelings.

We provide evidenced-based treatment, defined by the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies as “adherence to psychological approaches and techniques that are based on scientific evidence."

We specialize in the treatment of the following difficulties and interventions in children, adolescents and adults:
