What does CBT represent?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—or CBT—is a highly researched therapeutic approach that targets a wide range of psychological disorders and issues of emotional wellness.
C
Cognitive
This represents the cognitive elements of perception, or the ways in which humans think about themselves, their relationships, and the world around them.
B
Behavioral
This refers to the specific behaviors that either help or hinder an individual’s progress and development.
T
Therapy
This aspect is used to treat both children and adults alike for issues such as anxiety, depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and more.
Our Approach to CBT
At Journey Mental Health, we view our CBT therapists as both coaches and cheerleaders on the client’s path to healing. We aim to make treatment using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy goal-oriented, successive (with each session building on the next), and geared toward personal progress and evolution.
What makes our approach unique is:
We use CBT to treat anxiety, insomnia, depression, and post-traumatic stress, among other disorders.
Sessions lasts between 12 to 16 weekly sessions (over three or four months)
We offer both an individual and group format for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy sessions.
Though most of our therapists have ample experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a few of our clinicians specialize in CBT specifically. Our very own Dr. Ashley Howell studied CBT throughout the course of her graduate studies and postdoctoral fellowship, and she was trained by renowned experts through the National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center at the Medical University of South Carolina. Since becoming a licensed psychologist in 2018, she has worked with a variety of patients using CBT.
