cognitive behavior therapy

Jennifer Nam CBT san francisco therapist psychologist

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing the way you feel by modifying your thoughts and actions. Unlike some therapies where you spend a lot of time learning about your childhood, in CBT, you may focus on how rules and ways of behavior that we learned from our past affects your current life. We then work to develop practical tools to cope with the present.

Research studies from over 50 years find that CBT is remarkably helpful in treating anxiety and mood disorders. CBT is collaborative— we work together to identify what you would like to work on and then collaboratively we understand how you came to face particular challenges, and develop effective and practical strategies to move forward. If you’re ready, schedule a consultation.
