Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy in New York and New Jersey

Treatment

One-on-one sessions form the basis for positive change in your life as you resolve personal problems and situations. The focus of sessions includes changing how your mind and body react to stressful situations by examining healthier ways of thinking, imagery exercises to promote emotional change, behavior mode awareness and change, EMDR techniques (see EMDR.com for more on this), and mindfulness practices to promote better body/mind awareness. Length of treatment can be limited to a brief consultation, short-term intensive therapy, and longer-term ongoing counseling.

Treatment involves using extensive up-front questionnaires to focus the therapy in the most efficient manner on changing patterns of behavior that lead to psychological distress. Throughout the therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral/Schema Therapy, and Emotion-Focused (EFT) techniques are used to facilitate change.
