Therapy Modalities
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in Boulder, CO
CBT is one of the most researched, effective forms of therapy in the world. It works by helping you notice and shift the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that keep you stuck.
How CBT Works
CBT is based on a simple idea: your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. When we shift any one of them, the others shift too. In sessions, we identify the thought patterns and behaviors fueling your distress, test their accuracy, and build healthier, more flexible ways of responding.
What CBT Treats Well
- Anxiety, panic, and worry
- Depression and low mood
- PTSD and trauma-related symptoms
- OCD and intrusive thoughts
- Insomnia (CBT-I)
- Phobias and avoidance
- Social anxiety and performance anxiety
- Anger and irritability
What to Expect
CBT is collaborative, goal-focused, and structured. Many clients see meaningful change within 8–16 sessions. You will likely practice skills between sessions — small experiments that build into real change. Our therapists tailor CBT to your pace and integrate it with other approaches like DBT, ACT, and mindfulness when helpful.
