COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
CBT will help you develop skills that will assist you to become aware of your thoughts, emotions and identify how situations, thoughts and behaviors influence your emotions and improve feelings by changing your dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors. This process is skills focused and collaborative. I will recommend readings and practice homework throughout the week. Each session focuses on teaching you skills related to your presenting problem.  Often I use the skills based modules from Clinical Interventions in Australia. I have been using these since I worked as a College Counseling Center Director at Lehman College/CUNY. I have trained at the American Institute for Cognitive Therapy and at the Albert Ellis Rational Emotive Institute.
