COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY 

in New York & Connecticut 

Are You Feeling Stuck in Negative Thoughts or Behaviors?
Do you find yourself overwhelmed by worry, trapped in negative thinking patterns, or struggling to break free from unhealthy habits? If you’re ready to make a change, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) might be the key to unlocking a healthier, more positive mindset.

At Shifting Tides Psychotherapy, we offer trauma- informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a widely-used, evidence-based approach that helps you challenge negative thought patterns and create lasting change in your life.

What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a short-term, goal-oriented therapy that helps individuals understand the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The foundation of CBT is the idea that our thoughts influence how we feel and behave. By learning to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, we can change how we respond to challenging situations and create healthier emotional patterns.

CBT is highly effective for treating a range of issues, from anxiety and depression to stress and trauma, by focusing on the present and working toward real-world solutions.

How CBT Can Help You

At Shifting Tides Psychotherapy, we use CBT to help clients:

  • Challenge Negative Thoughts: Learn to recognize and reframe distorted or irrational thinking patterns that may be contributing to emotional distress or unhealthy behaviors.

  • Manage Anxiety and Depression: Gain practical tools for managing overwhelming feelings of anxiety or sadness, and develop coping strategies to handle stress.

  • Overcome Self-Doubt and Perfectionism: Break free from negative self-talk and build self-compassion, so you can feel more confident and less stuck in cycles of self-criticism.

  • Improve Emotional Regulation: Learn skills to better manage your emotions and develop healthier responses to difficult situations.

  • Create Better Habits: CBT is effective for addressing habits like procrastination, substance use, and other behaviors that may be hindering your well-being.
