Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Services

 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach to psychotherapy used to address a variety of mental health concerns including anxiety and depression. Through CBT, you’ll learn how to identify problematic scenarios, challenge negative self-talk, and respond more effectively to difficult situations. This problem-focused approach has made CBT a popular choice for addressing pressing issues, as well as treating mental illness and preventing relapse of symptoms.

It takes practice to build healthy habits but we'll be here to support and guide your CBT experience every step of the way.
