Evidenced-based clinical therapies include a blend of cognitive-behavioral and family systems, which are utilized during individual, family and group sessions.
FAIR offers multiple treatment interventions such as individual therapy, family therapy, intensive outpatient programs for adolescents (ages 13-18) and young adults (ages 18-30). Teenage and early adult years can be stressful and challenging. You might wonder whether a teen or young adult is experiencing just the typical "growing pains" or a real mental health problem. While adolescence and early adulthood can be a difficult time, there is a difference between "typical" and "troubled". Mental health problems experienced during this time of life are real, painful and if left untreated, can have serious consequences. We are committed to identifying, understanding, and treating core issues that impact our clients and their families. These issues range from depression, anxiety, traumas, bi-polar, personality disorders, impulse control, non-suicidal self-injury, substance use disorders, process addictions such as gaming and social media issues. These issues, if not addressed, interfere with academic success, impact family and social relationships and at times, result in inpatient hospitalizations.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Treatment Centers

How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?

Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?

CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
