All About CBT

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and effective form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. At Melrose Family Services, we offer CBT as part of our comprehensive mental health services, helping individuals achieve lasting improvements in their emotional well-being.

CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. By changing negative thinking patterns and behaviors, we can alter our emotional responses and improve our overall mental health. Our skilled therapists use CBT to address a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, and more.

What to Expect in CBT

During CBT sessions, you will work collaboratively with your therapist to identify negative or distorted thinking patterns that contribute to your emotional distress. Together, you will develop practical strategies to challenge and change these thoughts, leading to healthier behaviors and improved emotional well-being.

CBT is structured and goal-oriented, typically involving homework assignments that help you apply the skills learned in therapy to your daily life. This hands-on approach can lead to significant and lasting changes in a relatively short period.
