Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of treatment that focuses on examining the relationships between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. By exploring patterns of thinking that lead to self-destructive actions and the beliefs that direct these thoughts, people with mental illness can modify their patterns of thinking to improve coping. Here at the C&G Group, our highly qualified therapist and the patient will actively work together to help the patient recover from their mental illness. Therapy is problem-focused and goal-directed. Because CBT is an active intervention, one can also expect to do homework or practice outside of sessions. CBT has been found to be useful for a wide variety of mental illnesses, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, substance abuse disorders sleep disorders and psychotic disorders. Studies have shown that CBT actually changes brain activity in people with mental illnesses who receive this treatment, suggesting that the brain is actually improving its functioning as a result of engaging in this form of therapy. In classical homeopathy and botanical medicine, the individual is considered as a whole and symptoms from the body, mind and spirit are considered when making recommendation of a particular remedy. Also evaluated are a persons environment and lifestyle. Classical homeopathy most closely matches the totality of the individuals symptoms and personality with the homeopathic remedy in order to stimulate the bodys own natural healing response. Homeopathic remedies have been approved by the FDA since 1939, and botanical medicine is one of the fastest growing areas of complementary healthcare.
