Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

A therapeutic approach commonly used to treat a variety of mental disorders including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, ADHD, and more.

What is CBT?

CBT is a form of psychotherapy that we provide at Progressive Medical Center, focusing on the interplay between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The core principle of CBT is that our thoughts and beliefs about situations influence how we feel and how we act. By identifying and modifying negative or unhelpful thought patterns, our patients can experience improvements in their emotions and behaviors, leading to a better quality of life.

Benefits of CBT

At Progressive Medical Center, we have found that CBT offers several benefits for our patients, including:

Evidence-based: CBT is a well-researched and established treatment option with a strong evidence base, making it an effective choice for many mental health conditions.
Time-limited: CBT is typically a short-term treatment, often lasting between 12 to 20 sessions. This allows our patients to see meaningful progress in a relatively short period of time.
Structured approach: CBT follows a structured approach with clear goals and objectives, making it easier for patients to track their progress and stay engaged in treatment.
Skill development: CBT helps patients develop practical skills and coping strategies that can be applied to various aspects of their lives, leading to long-term improvements.

The CBT treatment process at Progressive Medical Center typically involves the following steps:

Assessment: During an initial consultation, our therapists assess the patient's needs and determine if CBT is an appropriate treatment option.

Identifying thoughts and beliefs: Patients work with their therapist to identify negative or unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that may be contributing to their emotional and behavioral difficulties.
Challenging and modifying thoughts: The therapist helps patients challenge and reframe negative thoughts and beliefs, enabling them to develop more adaptive and helpful thought patterns.
