Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a powerful, evidence-based method that helps teens tackle anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. As a specialist in teen mental health, I use CBT to teach teens how their thoughts impact their feelings and behaviors—and how they can change those patterns to feel more in control!
What Makes CBT Effective for Teens?
CBT is practical and results-driven, making it ideal for teens who need structure and clear, actionable steps. It breaks down overwhelming feelings into manageable parts.
Teens learn to:
Identify Negative Thought Patterns: They begin to recognize the automatic, irrational thoughts that lead to distress.
Challenge and Reframe Those Thoughts: Through therapy, they develop the tools to question and reshape their thinking, transforming anxiety and self-doubt into more balanced and positive perspectives.
Develop Practical Coping Skills: CBT teaches essential life skills, like problem-solving, stress management, and emotional regulation, helping teens manage real-world challenges.
From this:

"I’m never good enough."
→
to this:
"I’m learning to challenge those thoughts and focus on my own strengths."
"I’m discovering ways to manage my emotions and feel more in control."
