Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
At Jacobson Community Mental Health and Wellness, we offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as part of our comprehensive mental health services. CBT is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors to improve emotional well-being.
What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
CBT is a goal-oriented, structured form of psychotherapy designed to address a variety of mental health challenges. By understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, individuals can develop healthier coping mechanisms and achieve lasting change. CBT is highly effective for conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and more.
