What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most studied and widely used forms of psychotherapy. It is based on the principle that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected — and that by identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts, we can change the way we feel and act.
CBT is short-term, goal-oriented, and highly structured, making it ideal for people who want practical strategies to manage their mental health challenges. At Calida Rehab, CBT is central to our approach to treating everything from anxiety and depression to addiction and personality disorders.
