Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, skills-based psychotherapy that helps you understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. The approach teaches you to spot unhelpful patterns, test them against facts, and practice healthier responses. Sessions are structured and collaborative so you always know what you are working on. Care is available for residents of Riverside and Corona through individual therapy, groups, and as part of our IOP and PHP levels of care.
CBT works by identifying distorted thinking, building coping skills, and using real-life practice to create lasting change. Techniques may include thought records, behavioral activation, and exposure-based strategies for anxiety.

What to Expect Each Week
Anxiety often shows up as worry loops, panic, and avoidance that shrink your daily life. CBT helps you identify automatic negative thoughts, evaluate their accuracy, and replace them with balanced perspectives. You then practice new behaviors to reduce fear and build confidence. Families can be included when helpful to reinforce skills at home.
Care begins with a detailed assessment so we can personalize strategies for your symptoms and priorities. When needed, your plan can integrate DBT skills for emotion regulation, EMDR for trauma, or interventional options like TMS, ketamine-assisted therapy, or Spravato for treatment-resistant depression. Support is available in Riverside and at our Corona location, with teletherapy for added convenience. Your clinician will guide you step by step and adjust the plan as you make gains.
Your CBT plan starts with a collaborative assessment and clear goals, followed by structured sessions that teach and practice new skills. Most plans include 12–20 sessions, with behavioral activation for depression, exposure-based methods for anxiety, and thought restructuring for stuck patterns. Treatment can be paired with DBT skills, EMDR for trauma, or interventional options like TMS, ketamine-assisted therapy, or Spravato when clinically appropriate. Couples or family sessions may be included to strengthen communication and support. Veterans and pregnant individuals can access specialized programming aligned with their needs.
