What’s So Great About TEAM CBT?
CBT is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is one of the most widely used approaches around the world. TEAM, developed by Dr. David Burns (American psychiatrist, adjunct professor at Stanford University, and best-selling author) makes CBT even more effective with 4 key components (Testing, Empathy, Agenda-Setting, and Methods).
Now, there is no perfect formula; but through deliberate practice, you will become more aware of how your thoughts drive your feelings and behaviors. Taking an active role both in and outside of sessions will further help you to prioritize your concerns, remove barriers, boost motivators, build inner and external resources, and reach your goals.
TEAM offers practical tools and empowerment to those ready to create lasting change!
Testing
Completing brief mood and empathy surveys, before and after sessions, helps to monitor your progress, concerns, and satisfaction in therapy. Adjustments can be made quickly, helping treatment stay on track.
Empathy
Feeling fully understood, respected, accepted and safe helps you to take the difficult steps forward in your journey toward self-discovery, healing, and empowerment.
Agenda Setting
We want to change, but there is a part of us that resists; often times for good reason. We will work to get unstuck and boost motivation toward the area of focus that you want to work on.
Methods
Having many powerful cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal methods available from many schools of therapy, we can find the tools that work best for you.
