Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy, which addresses the relationship between your thoughts, emotions and behaviors. CBT is one of the most empirically-supported treatments for mood and anxiety disorders and has been adapted to serve specialty populations. We look at thoughts automatically triggered in situations and use tools to examine whether these thoughts are helpful or unhelpful in living and maintaining a meaningful life. With CBT, patients look at behaviors to determine if the behaviors are supporting negative thought patterns and emotional states, and if so, CBT includes patient commitment to change when necessary. At Peachtree Cognitive Center, our clinicians embrace the collaborative spirit of CBT and have incorporated cutting edge third-wave approaches to best help our patients.

What Does CBT Treat?

CBT has been designed to treat a wide variety of symptoms, including anxiety disorders, Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia, and other specified phobias. CBT also is a leading treatment for mood disorders, including Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia). CBT also effectively treats Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (trichotillomania and excoriation), and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
