CBT Techniques in Vacaville, CA

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most commonly used therapy techniques. It is effective for treating many mental health conditions and concerns, such as PTSD, anxiety, substance abuse, marriage issues, and depression. Though CBT may not be the only therapy technique used during your sessions with me, it is always helpful to gain a little bit more insight into why this technique is so widely employed.

CBT can help you reframe your thinking, allowing you to unlearn habits that may be barring you from moving forward in your life. With CBT, you can dive deeper into your own thoughts and behavior, understanding any distortions and organizing your thoughts in a manner that promotes mental wellness. You’ll learn how to cope with intrusive or unpleasant thoughts and overcome them, rather than pushing them to the side and letting them fester. CBT is all about facing your fears head-on and putting together a toolkit for dealing with life’s most pressing problems.

If you’re interested in CBT and would like to learn more about the therapy process, reach out to me for more information.

Individual & Couples Therapy in Vacaville, CA

Whether you’re looking for a helping hand in your current relationship or require guidance for your individual problems, therapy can be a useful tool for mapping out the best way to handle everything life throws at you.

For couples, often the core issue is learning how to communicate effectively with one another. I use the Gottman Method to help couple re-establish their bond and learn how to express their true feelings to each other in a positive, beneficial way. These therapy sessions aren’t about finding who is right and who is wrong. They are about finding ways for you and your partner to understand each other better, and to get to a place where communication isn’t so difficult.

Individual therapy services can be helpful for those who are suffering from PTSD, anxiety, and depression. If you are recovering from a traumatic experience, or if you’re finally ready to get help for your debilitating anxiety, I am here for you. We’ll explore the themes, events, triggers, and habits in your life that require reframing to allow you to experience peace and healing.
