What is Cognitive Therapy?
Cognitive Therapy is a highly effective form of psychotherapy that has been empirically validated through years of research and is widely accepted as the most cost-effective psychotherapy for many psychological issues.
Cognitive Therapy is a therapeutic orientation that is based upon the premise that what we think influences how we feel, behave, and react to our environment. Cognitive Therapy essentially involves the pursuit of healthy thinking by learning to identify unhealthy and maladaptive thoughts and then utilizing tools for changing them to more accurate beliefs that produce emotional relief and more productive behavioral strategies.
Cognitive Therapy posits that it is our interpretation of events that leads to uncomfortable feelings and not the event itself. Specific cognitive therapy skills are learned in the context of a time-limited, supportive and collaborative relationship with your MCTC therapist.
