T.E.A.M COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR therapy

TEAM-CBT is an innovative approach to psychotherapy that goes beyond traditional cognitive therapy. It focuses on Testing, Therapeutic Empathy, Assessment of Resistance, and Methods. This method involves testing clients at the start and end of each session, forming a warm client-therapist relationship, identifying and addressing resistance, and utilizing various techniques to challenge distorted thinking. TEAM-CBT aims to be data-driven and science-based, drawing from multiple therapy approaches to provide effective and efficient treatment.

As a TEAM-CBT therapist, I have received training in multiple empathy skills to establish a warm therapeutic alliance with you. I believe that it is important for you to have a place where you can talk freely and openly, knowing that you can be yourself and that you will be accepted, valued, understood, and respected. In my view, the empathic connection is a vital component for successful therapy, as even the most sophisticated methods are more effective once we have established this connection.

CBT treatment is typically short-term, lasting from five to 20 sessions, unlike some traditional therapies that can extend over years. It instills hope by empowering you to challenge negative thoughts and consider new perspectives. CBT boosts self-esteem by disrupting negative thought patterns, leading to a more positive self-perception. It fosters rational thinking, helping you gain control over negative thoughts and evaluate responses. Moreover, CBT equips you with lifelong skills that not only alleviate current distress but also benefit you in the long run.
