How does cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) work and how can it help?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment that helps identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress. CBT is based on the understanding that our thoughts, feelings, and actions are interconnected. Through therapy, you'll learn practical skills to challenge negative thought patterns, manage difficult emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and respond more effectively to life's challenges. CBT can be highly effective for anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, stress, and many other mental health concerns, helping clients build lasting tools for improved well-being.
I am the Founder and Owner of Aloe Integrative Psychology Group, where I provide compassionate, relationship-centered care rooted in curiosity, empathy, and respect for each person's unique story. My path to psychology was anything but traditional. I began my academic journey studying English Literature, drawn to the power of stories and the ways people make meaning of their experiences. Later, I worked as a cross-cultural educator in Brazil, where I developed a deeper appreciation for human connection across diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
At Aloe Integrative Psychology Group, I strive to create a thoughtful and collaborative therapeutic space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with a deep respect for each individual's lived experience, helping clients navigate challenges, foster self-understanding, and move toward meaningful and lasting growth.
