Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Cognitive Behavior Therapy
There is a saying: “Life is not what happens to you, life is what you think happens to you”. In every situation, we have certain thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and assumptions. They determine how we feel in a given situation, which in turn impacts how we will act.
How can it help?
Cognitive therapists assess thoughts, feelings, behaviors, physiology, and environment in understanding problems. These five areas are interconnected; each one influencing the other. A cognitive therapist intervenes in all of the five areas to help a client with an emphasis on identifying and evaluating thoughts and on behavior change.
Our Therapy Process
Your first step is to call us to schedule your initial appointment. We will link you up with the therapist that we believe will be the best fit for you.
Your initial evaluation session provides an opportunity to establish rapport with the therapist and provide them with some background about yourselves and the reasons you are seeking therapy. In addition, they will be able to answer your questions regarding services, confidentiality, and what to expect in therapy.
At the end of your first session, if you decide to move forward with treatment, we will schedule further appointments. At your second appointment, we will create a treatment plan together that is compatible with your personality, needs, resources and your unique cultural background.
Call +1 630 774 8316 Dr. Asif or +1 630 674 1138 Dr. Yasmeen and speak to us to learn more or schedule an appointment.
Benefits
- CBT will help you identify, evaluate, and eventually modify the thought patterns that lead to unhealthy feelings and behaviors. Interventions at the behavioral level will help you develop action plans to change your behaviors that have caused and maintained negative symptoms.
- When clients are able to identify, evaluate, and consequently change dysfunctional thinking patterns, changes in mood and behavior occur. These changes help clients change their environment, for example, seeking social support, and may accompany physiological changes as well, like feeling more energetic.
