Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you identify and challenge distorted thinking patterns and beliefs, and replace them with more realistic and functional thoughts. It focuses on the interaction between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, aiming to change negative thought patterns and maladaptive behaviors to improve emotional regulation and develop healthier coping strategies.
