CBT is an evidence-based approach that explores how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. At our Northbrook center, we use CBT—along with therapies like DBT, ACT, and family counseling—to support mental health and recovery from substance use. By identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, we help you shift perspective, break harmful cycles, and build lasting emotional resilience.

Just like your journey to recovery from substance abuse disease, there’s no one-size-fits-all prescription for how many therapy sesions you’ll need. Collaborating closely with your experienced and caring therapist, you’ll find that as you make progress, your therapist may recommend reduced frequency of therapy sessions.

You can think of your cognitive behaviral therapy in Northbrook, IL like an ongoing conversation. After completing your paperwork, you and your therapist will get to know each other. Your therapist will ask you about your history and the issues you’re struggling with in your daily life. You’ll also discuss what kind of therapy is best suited for you, whether that be CBT, DBT, family therapy, and more.

Yes! Unless we believe you’re at risk of harming yourself or others, all of your therapy sessions are confidential – we won’t disclose any of the information discussed during our sessions without your written permission.

Although we’re an out-of-network provider, we’ll run your insurance benefits during the initial call to help provide you with the best coverage posssible. We’ll discuss payment options and make the process of payment as easy and smooth as possible.
