Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. CBT focuses on readjusting the patterns of thinking or behavior that led to the client’s difficulties. Therapist does this by exploring the patient’s thoughts, images, beliefs, attitudes, and relationships. Once you have identified the relationship between your problems, behavior, and thoughts, you can begin to learn healthy ways to cope and manage your thoughts and emotions

It is a practical, empathetic, and short-term process that takes into consideration how difficult it is to make life changes.
