Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Your Path to Lasting Change

What is CBT? Breaking Down the Basics

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) isn't your typical "lie on the couch and talk" therapy. It's a practical, science-backed approach that gives you real tools for change. Research shows that CBT is 50-75% effective for overcoming depression and anxiety, making it one of the most successful therapeutic approaches available.
