Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
At NYC Mental Health Counseling, we get straight to the heart of the matter. Our practice is built on the principles of real talk, genuine care, and actionable strategies.
What exactly is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
Living in or near a large city has its challenges: high-pressure jobs, complicated relationships, and difficulty slowing down. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) cuts through all that complexity with a straightforward approach. It helps you spot and change patterns in your thinking and behavior that make life harder than it needs to be.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is grounded in the concept that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and that altering one can alter the others. Our therapists use CBT to teach individuals techniques and skills that allow them to challenge distorted or unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more realistic and positive ones. This approach is commonly used to treat a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship problems. CBT is typically structured and goal-oriented, and additionally places focus on shifting unhelpful behaviors that are getting in the way of self-growth.
