What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a scientifically tested form of psychotherapy. It is a solution-focused approach based in learning new skills to solving problems. Through CBT, we explore your current thinking in order to improve your mood and behavior. My goal is to help you become your own therapist, not a lifelong client.
CBT recognizes the importance of our thoughts and feelings, and how they work together to influence our behavior. Sessions are structured to follow up on your progress, support you in and out of session, and find meaningful measurements to root us in your progress. Learn more at the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Certification Matters.
Many therapists claim to have CBT expertise, but only a select few can say that they are certified. Certification matters. Do your due diligence and ensure that your therapist is what they market themselves to be.
Around the world, CBT therapists are only able to claim "Certified Cognitive Therapist," "Certified CBT Therapist," or "Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist" when they have undergone the Academy of Cognitive Therapy (ACT)'s Diplomate protocol, which includes CBT training by ACT Certified Trainers, demonstrated expertise in CBT with past clients, CBT related readings, CBT client audio session submission for evaluation by the ACT (with a score of 40/66 or higher), and submissions of CBT Case Conceptualizations for evaluation by the ACT (with a score of 20/24 or higher.)
I was able to conduct and formalize my training with Academy of Cognitive Therapy Certified Trainers such as Leslie Sokol, Ph.D, R. Trent Codd, III, Ed.S and others.
