Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
CBT is a practical, structured therapy that helps you notice how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors connect. You learn skills to manage anxiety, low mood and stress, and practice them between sessions. It is one of the most widely studied talk therapies for anxiety and depression.
Trauma and PTSD therapy
Trauma can affect sleep, mood, relationships and your sense of safety long after the event. Our therapists offer trauma-informed care at a pace that feels manageable, helping you understand your reactions and build ways to cope.
What therapy can help with
- Anxiety, worry and panic
- Depression and low mood
- Stress, burnout and life changes
- Grief and loss
- Relationship and family difficulties
- Anger and impulse control
- Mood and behavior challenges in teens
Therapy alongside psychiatric care
Because SmartMinds offers both therapy and psychiatry, your care can be coordinated under one roof. If you are also taking medication, your therapist can work alongside your prescriber through psychiatric medication management. Not sure where to start? A psychiatric evaluation can help clarify the right mix of care, and ADHD testing is available when attention concerns come up.
