Psychotherapy
What to expect
The cognitive model
Cognitive behavior therapy is based on the cognitive model of psychopathology, which hypothesizes that people’s emotions, body responses, and behaviors are influenced by their perception of events (Beck, 1964).
How it works
CBT aims to help clients recognize their maladaptive automatic thoughts and connect how thoughts are related to their emotional, behavioral, and physiological reactions.
What to expect
After a full psychiatric evaluation, we’ll decide on a treatment plan together. At first, you may be given worksheets and homework to introduce the concepts of CBT. As therapy continues, we’ll tailor the cognitive model to your circumstances.
