Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Women in Fort Wayne, Indiana

Evidence-Based CBT for Anxiety, Burnout, and Emotional Overwhelm

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help women experiencing: anxiety, burnout, relationship issues, depression, trauma, and much more.

This therapy approach brings subconscious belief systems to your awareness. Together, we’ll then gently explore how these belief systems and thought patterns might impact your daily thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to help you achieve your goals.  

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?

The CBT model proposes that your thoughts influence your emotions, your emotions influence your behaviors — and that these patterns can be transformed.

CBT helps you identify unhelpful thought loops such as:

  • “If I relax, something bad will happen.”

  • “I’m too much.”

  • “They probably think I’m incompetent.”

  • “They’ll be upset if I say no.”

  • “I’m responsible for their feelings.”

  • “Something feels off – I need to figure it out.”

  • “I should be able to handle this.”

Together, we’ll gently begin to examine your thought patterns, and how they might influence your emotions, behaviors, and relationship dynamics.

We’ll then explore where some of these thought patterns might stem from, and whether or not they feel helpful for you at present.  

Another part of CBT involves replacing some of these old beliefs and thought patterns with more balanced, realistic perspectives.

This can help to reduce anxiety and emotional overwhelm, while also improving insight and clarity about yourself and your relationships.
