Our CBT program is tailored to your specific needs.

CBT is typically short-term (lasting 3-12 months) and focuses on making meaningful changes that can have a lasting impact.
Here’s what you can expect from CBT therapy at MindWell NYC:
We’ll help you identify negative thought patterns, such as catastrophizing (“Everything will go wrong!”) or mindreading (“They must think I’m incompetent”). Together, we’ll evaluate these thoughts by asking questions like:
Your therapist will help you identify activities that bring you joy and align with your values. Research shows that engaging in rewarding activities can significantly improve mood. We’ll also track behaviors that may contribute to anxiety and work to replace them with healthier habits.
Avoiding feared situations often makes anxiety worse. CBT therapists at MindWell NYC use exposure techniques to help you face your fears in a gradual, supportive way. Over time, this reduces anxiety and builds confidence in handling difficult situations.
We’ll help you identify and label emotions, understand how they feel in your body, and learn strategies for managing them effectively. This awareness is key to breaking the cycle of anxiety.

Yes! Research consistently shows that CBT is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety. Studies have demonstrated its success in reducing symptoms of generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, and more.
Both CBT and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are effective for treating anxiety. CBT focuses on changing thought patterns and behaviors, while EMDR is often used to address anxiety related to trauma. Your therapist can help determine which approach is best for your specific needs.
