Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Teenagers
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is the gold standard for the treatment of anxiety, OCD and eating disorders in teenagers. CBT is the name of the family of evidence-based therapies that share the following characteristics: evidence-based, goal-oriented, practical, concrete, active and collaborative. CBT can help your teen learn skills to increase positive emotions, optimism and resilience while letting go of unhelpful thoughts, emotions and behaviors.
CBT Specialists for Anxiety and Related Problems
At the Cognitive Behavior Therapy Center of Silicon Valley and Sacramento Valley, our Center Director, Laura Johnson, LMFT, LPCC, is a highly trained specialist in cognitive behavioral therapy and schema therapy. She is certified by the Academy of Cognitive Therapy and is a graduate of the extramural program at the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy. While many therapists include CBT techniques into an eclectic approach, we provide comprehensive CBT based on the research and include all the elements that have been proven to be essential to achieving positive results including having a structured session with an agenda, developing an individualized cognitive conceptualization to guide the treatment plan, teaching coping skills that target the problem, and assigning and following up on homework.
Therapy Tailored To Your Teen’s Individual Needs
Over time, the research has led to many different versions of cognitive behavioral treatments that are effective for different problems. At the Cognitive Behavior Therapy Center, we don’t treat all anxiety disorders the same way. Instead, we keep up with the latest research for the various anxiety disorders and other problems we treat so we can offer your teen the right type of therapy for their problems.
