Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness For Anxiety, Depression & Stress-
Outlook Counseling Services, LLC is aware of the importance of providing evidence-based therapies for the treatment of anxiety and depression. The American Psychological Association identifies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of issues including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. In many studies, CBT has been demonstrated to be as effective as, or more effective than, other forms of psychological therapy or psychiatric medications.
