What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented form of talk therapy that focuses on the link between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. 

It helps individuals identify and challenge inaccurate or negative thought patterns and beliefs, enabling them to reframe these thoughts in a more rational and positive way. This process promotes healthier emotions and behaviors, empowering clients to manage current difficulties and prevent relapse.

CBT is effective for a wide range of individuals facing mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, OCD, and substance abuse. It benefits people of all ages by providing practical tools to improve emotional regulation, reduce negative thinking, and enhance problem-solving skills. 

Whether struggling with acute issues or chronic conditions, clients can gain lasting relief and improved quality of life through CBT.

What is Trauma-Informed CBT (TF-CBT)?

Trauma-Informed CBT is a specialized adaptation of cognitive behavioral therapy designed to address the unique needs of individuals impacted by trauma. 

It combines standard CBT techniques with an understanding of the effects of trauma, prioritizing safety, trust, and empowerment. TF-CBT helps clients process traumatic memories while developing coping skills to manage trauma-related symptoms and emotional distress.

Conditions We Treat With CBT

CBT for Depression

CBT helps people with depression by identifying and challenging negative thought patterns that fuel feelings of hopelessness. Through behavioral activation and cognitive restructuring, CBT teaches practical skills to improve mood, increase activity, and reduce the risk of relapse.

CBT for Anxiety

CBT targets anxiety by helping individuals recognize irrational fears and gradually face them using exposure techniques. It also promotes relaxation strategies and cognitive reframing to reduce worry, build resilience, and restore a sense of calm control over anxious thoughts.

CBT for OCD

CBT uses exposure and response prevention (ERP) to help clients confront obsessive thoughts and reduce compulsive behaviors. This approach empowers individuals to tolerate anxiety triggers without performing rituals, decreasing symptoms, and improving daily functioning. 

CBT for Stress & Grief

CBT supports coping with stress and grief by helping individuals restructure overwhelming feelings and develop healthy coping skills to face challenges in life head-on. It teaches mindfulness and problem-solving skills to manage emotional pain and foster gradual healing.

CBT for Chronic Pain

CBT for chronic pain focuses on altering the mental and emotional responses to pain, reducing catastrophizing, and building coping strategies. It encourages stress management, relaxation, and cognitive reframing to improve quality of life despite ongoing physical discomfort.

Integrating CBT with Advanced Mental Health Treatments for Complex Cases at Harper Clinic

We offer advanced treatments integrated with CBT, providing hope for those facing complex mental health challenges, including Treatment-Resistant Depression, Complex Trauma, and severe OCD.

CBT and Medication

Medication helps stabilize mood and reduce acute symptoms related to sleep, mood, and appetite, allowing individuals to engage more fully in therapy. CBT complements this by providing practical skills to manage negative thought patterns and build long-term resilience.

CBT and Ketamine Therapy

Ketamine alters brain chemistry and loosens rigid thought patterns. Paired with CBT, this allows clients to engage more deeply, using structured coping and emotional regulation skills to transform temporary relief into lasting behavioral change.

CBT and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

TMS is a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, targeting areas linked to mood regulation. At the same time, CBT equips individuals with skills to manage thoughts and behaviors, creating a powerful dual approach to healing.

CBT and Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback trains clients to self-regulate brain activity, improving focus and emotional control. This complements CBT’s cognitive restructuring and behavioral strategies. Together, they address both the neurological and psychological aspects of mental health disorders.
