Change the Patterns That Keep You Stuck

The way we think, feel, and behave can become connected in patterns that are difficult to recognize on our own.

You may find yourself repeatedly thinking, "I'm not good enough," "Something is going to go wrong," or "I should be able to handle this," and those thoughts can influence how you feel and what you do next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you identify these patterns and develop healthier ways of responding.

At Pathwise Behavioral Health, I use CBT as part of individualized therapy for adults and teens in San Jose and throughout California via telehealth.

What Is CBT?

CBT is an evidence-based approach that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

The goal isn't to force yourself to "think positively." Instead, CBT helps you examine whether your thoughts are accurate, helpful, and consistent with the evidence.

CBT May Help With:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Panic

  • Low self-esteem

  • Stress

  • Perfectionism

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Trauma-related symptoms

  • Life transitions

  • Other patterns of emotional distress

What Can You Expect?

CBT is often practical and goal-oriented.

Together, we may:

  • Identify unhelpful thinking patterns

  • Examine beliefs and assumptions

  • Develop coping strategies

  • Practice new behaviors

  • Address avoidance

  • Set achievable goals

  • Track progress

  • Build skills you can use independently

Therapy That Connects to Real Life
