What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based treatment that helps you:

  • Identify unhelpful thought patterns

  • Change behaviors that reinforce anxiety or depression

  • Develop coping strategies that work in real life

  • Build long-term emotional resilience

CBT is one of the most extensively researched forms of psychotherapy and is widely used to treat anxiety disorders, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and related concerns.

Many individuals seeking CBT support are experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, or difficulty managing emotions. We provide structured treatment for these concerns, including anxiety therapy, specialized OCD and ERP treatment, and goal-oriented depression therapy. For individuals who would benefit from skills focused on emotional regulation, we also offer DBT therapy at our Upper East Side location.

We also provide child and teen therapy on the Upper East Side, using structured CBT approaches tailored to younger clients.
