Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a psychotherapy treatment strategy focused on changing destructive thought processes that lead to negative feelings or harmful behaviors. By guiding patients in the identification of factors that trigger anxious feelings, depressed thoughts, and other negative effects, board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Julie Pittman and our nurse practitioners can help patients alter their response to stressful situations or mental health conditions and better cope when challenges in life arise. The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy at Pittman Psychiatry & Recovery is to help patients distinguish harmful from helpful feelings, redirect their thought processes, develop appropriate coping skills, and modify their behaviors to respond to situations in a more positive way.
