Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a research-backed approach that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Often, when life feels overwhelming, we develop automatic patterns of thinking that can fuel stress, anxiety, and burnout. CBT works by identifying these patterns and replacing them with healthier, more helpful ways of thinking and responding.
At its core, CBT is about learning practical tools to manage challenges, rather than just talking about them. You’ll learn strategies to:
Challenge unhelpful thoughts
Reduce stress and anxiety
Improve emotional regulation
Build confidence and resilience
Break cycles of perfectionism or overdrive

Integrated with mind-body tools – When appropriate, we incorporate mindfulness, breathwork, and HRV biofeedback to strengthen emotional regulation and stress resilience.
What to Expect in a CBT Session
In your first session, we’ll explore what brought you to therapy, what’s working, and what feels stuck. We’ll identify patterns that might be holding you back and set goals that feel meaningful to you.
A typical CBT session might include:
Talking through a recent challenge or thought pattern
Learning a new coping strategy
Practicing a skill together (like reframing a thought or using a breathing technique)
Creating a plan for applying it in your day-to-day life
Over time, these small, practical steps add up to lasting change—so you feel more in control, less reactive, and more aligned with the life you want to live.
Is CBT Right for You?
CBT can be especially helpful if you struggle with:
Anxiety or overthinking
Stress and burnout
Perfectionism or high self-criticism
Performance pressure (in work, sports, or life)
Difficulty setting boundaries
If you’re ready to take a proactive, skills-based approach to your mental health, CBT might be a great fit.
