Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidenced-based therapeutic approach for which there is extensive scientific evidence that the methods that have been developed actually produce change. I apply various Cognitive Behavioral therapeutic models and techniques, including Solution-Focused, Strategic, Structual and Multi-generational Family therapies. We will work together, in a collaborative fashion, to develop an understanding of the problem and a treatment strategy in order to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and adjust problematic emotions. Proven to be effective for a range of problems - including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, anger management, utilizing CBT in my practice has led many clients to significant improvement in their functioning and quality of life.

I just finished, what I think was my 5th session, with Cynthia and I continue to look forward to our meetings every week. She is helping me manage my anxiety and assisting me to work through relationship conflicts. Our conversations are always pleasant and productive.
