Many people have had the experience of talking to a close friend or being in psychotherapy with a mental health professional where they always feel better after talking to that person. In cognitive behavioral therapy we are interested in people getting better, not just feeling better after talking to someone who cares about them. Getting better involves changing the way you think and behave in very specific ways that will help you to achieve your mental health goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to be highly effective in treating a range of mental health problems. Over the past 30 years, there have been more than 400 psychotherapy outcome studies that have shown the efficacy of CBT.
