Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Program

Cognitive behavioral therapy (or CBT) is a form of psychotherapy acknowledging a direct correlation between feelings and thoughts. It’s based on the premise that it’s not an event or situation that upsets individuals: rather, it’s the feelings and thoughts associated with the event that fuel their reactions. For a myriad of reasons, these emotions stem from irrational beliefs developed over a long period of time. Dual diagnosis treatment in Lake Arrowhead, California focuses on not only addiction but mental health issues as well.

While undergoing CBT in Lake Arrowhead, California, our therapists and Clients work together to devise coping strategies to discourage negative behaviors.
