Cognitive Behavioral Therapy:
Much of our lives are shaped by our perspectives and the way we process the world around us. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a form of psychology where mental health is maintained by addressing dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. By correcting our way of thinking, we can achieve greater happiness and personal wellbeing.
