Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression

CBT helps you identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, replacing them with more balanced and empowering ways of thinking and behaving.

This modality incorporates various techniques, which may include:

· Challenging beliefs and reframing unhelpful thoughts

· Social skills training and exposure work

· Journaling to track emotions and behavioral patterns

· Breathing exercises, meditation, and mindfulness to reduce stress
