Helping clients make sustainable change
Therapy is more than talk. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an evidence-based treatment for psychological disorders. In CBT and related interventions, the clinician creates a collaborative relationship with the client to understand their problems and establish goals for treatment. Part of this process is a formulation of the thoughts and behaviors that may be contributing to or maintaining the client's problems. Informed consent, a treatment contract, homework, and behavioral experiments keep therapy focused on measurable change. Psychoeducation helps the client contextualize their problems and clarify diagnosis, if applicable.
