OUR SERVICES

Psychotherapy is a learning process in which mental health professionals seek to help individuals by the exchange of verbal communication. It is often referred to as “talk therapy”. Many types of psychotherapy are available at CBC. Some focus on changing current behavior patterns and others focus on understanding past issues. Through this process, the patient may:

• Learn about the causes of their condition so they can better understand it.

• Learn to identify and change behaviors or thoughts that adversely affect you.

• Explore relationships and experiences.

• Find better ways to cope and solve problems.

• Learn to set realistic goals for your life.

CBC offers the following types of psychotherapies to individuals, groups, and families:

• Behavior therapy which focuses on changing unwanted, unhealthy behaviors.

• Cognitive therapy which is designed to help you identify and change distorted thought patterns that

lead to destructive feelings and behaviors.

• Cognitive-behavior therapy combines features of both cognitive and behavior therapy to identify

destructive and negative beliefs and replace them with healthy, positive beliefs.

• Dialectical behavior therapy is a type of cognitive-behavior therapy designed to teach you effective

behavioral skills, tolerate stress, regulate emotions, and improve relationships.
