An event triggers a thought which causes you to feel a certain way and as a result your behavior
is either pleasant or not so pleasant. If you find yourself or someone you love displaying
unpleasant behaviors like anger, anxiety or depression on a consistent basis, there is help
available. One of the tools we use is cognitive therapy.
Cognitive Therapy is a collaborative process. We will discuss expectations during the client’s
initial counseling session. In order to meet those expectations, the client will want change and
must realize that change takes practice, work and effort. We will work together toward a
common goal and ultimately the client will have a sense of control over their emotional situation.
We use the following road map as a guide to help our clients achieve optimal emotional health:
Finally, Brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things.
Philippians 4:8
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:1-2
