Integrative Therapy & Counseling

What CBT Helps With

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy helps individuals recognize how thoughts, beliefs, and interpretations shape emotions and actions. Through structured skill-building, CBT empowers clients to interrupt negative cycles and develop healthier patterns of thinking and behavior.

With more than four decades of experience, Beverly Brashen, Ph.D. integrates CBT with systems psychology, humanistic psychology, positive psychology, and trauma-informed care to support deep and sustainable change.‍

What to Expect in a Session

CBT sessions are active and collaborative. You’ll learn practical skills you can apply between sessions, such as reframing thoughts, regulating emotions, improving communication, and shifting ingrained patterns.
