Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Ottawa

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of talk therapy that focuses on reframing harmful or painful thoughts and behaviours. This form of therapy is often used to treat anxiety and depression but can be helpful with many different mental and physical challenges. 


Psychologists practicing CBT can help their clients create new, healthy coping mechanisms and thought processes, set short and long term goals, and develop greater problem-solving skills.
