Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Rethink the Loops. Rewrite the Story.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) treats anxious spirals, depressive fog and performance blocks by targeting the thought–emotion–action loop at their core. Here, we view unhelpful thoughts not as character flaws but as well-worn survival habits your brain can outgrow with practice.
How Dr Kerwin does CBT Works in This Practice
Collaborative road-mapping. In the opening sessions we chart the specific situations—midnight rumination, pre-meeting dread, post-game self-critique—where your nervous system hits the panic button.
Skill acquisition, not lectures. You’ll learn concrete tools to spot cognitive distortions, test them against real-world data and replace them with balanced self-talk that drives wiser action.
Homework that fits real life. Micro-exercises woven into your day—thought logs on your phone, two-minute breathing resets between classes, exposure steps calibrated to your pace—turn insights into reflexes.
Momentum you can measure. We track shifts in sleep, mood and performance so you can literally see your progress and fine-tune techniques in real time.
What Progress Feels Like
A calmer pulse before presentations. Evenings that belong to rest instead of worry. The quiet confidence of knowing you have a playbook for setbacks—because you wrote it yourself.
