TEAM-CBT

TEAM-CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

TEAM-CBT is a highly effective, evidence-based approach developed by Dr. David Burns at Stanford University. It builds upon traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but adds several key components — Testing, Empathy, Agenda Setting, and Methods — to create a powerful, collaborative process that helps clients make real and lasting change.

In our work together, we’ll use practical tools to help you identify and challenge distorted thought patterns, manage overwhelming emotions, and take action toward meaningful goals. TEAM-CBT emphasizes not just “thinking better,” but also understanding your resistance to change and honoring the parts of you that hold back out of fear or self-protection. By compassionately exploring these internal blocks, we uncover deeper emotional truths and open the door to authentic transformation.

Clients often find TEAM-CBT to be energizing and empowering, as it combines insight with tangible techniques you can apply in daily life. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, self-criticism, or fear of failure, this approach helps you cultivate self-acceptance, emotional balance, and renewed confidence in your ability to move forward.
