Manage Stress with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Life is feeling overwhelming, your to-do list is never-ending, and you just aren’t sure how to manage it all. Stress may never go away but with some skills and support, you can start to feel more in control. Therapy can help you learn ways to relax your body, shift your thinking, and focus on what matters to you.

Get better sleep by changing your thoughts and behaviors using cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)

  • You are exhausted and feel like you have no energy. You can’t think clearly and are constantly snapping at people you care about. You just need a good night’s sleep, but when you turn out the light, your brain turns on. You feel like your mind is on a hampster wheel, running and running and getting nowhere. You don’t have to spend another night lying awake staring at the ceiling or tossing and turning. CBT for insomnia can help you learn new ways to think about sleep and overcome the thoughts that are getting in the way.

Using motivational interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) you can finally achieve your physical activity goals

  • You feel out of shape and are out of breath just walking to the mailbox. You want to be able to keep up with your active kids but it’s hard to find the time and motivation. Therapy can help to increase your motivation and get out of your own way to accomplish your goals.

Improve your nutrition with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing

  • You know what makes a healthy meal and you believe that eating healthier would help you feel better. It’s just so hard! Using tools from motivational interviewing and CBT, you can start to feel empowered to set goals, overcome unhelpful thoughts, and wrap your head around making changes to feel your best.

Using motivational interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) you can finally achieve your weight goals

  • You don’t feel like yourself anymore and really don’t like what you see in the mirror. Your health is suffering and you know that losing a few pounds would make a huge difference. You know you have to eat healthier and move more, but you just can’t get yourself to make the changes. Using tools from motivational interviewing and CBT, you can start to feel empowered to make sustainable lifestyle changes that will help you reach your goals.

With support and tools, you can quit smoking cigarettes

  • You feel like you’ve tried everything - gum, patches, cold turkey. You just can’t seem to kick the habit. You know that quitting smoking is the best thing you can do for your health but you are starting to feel like it’s hopeless. Nicotine addiction is physical and psychological, the best way to treat it is to address both. Therapy can give you tools to overcome cravings and explore why you are struggling to quit so that you can smoke your last cigarette.
