Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used and well-researched approaches in mental health care. It focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, helping clients identify unhelpful patterns and develop healthier ways of coping. By learning practical strategies and gaining new perspectives, CBT empowers clients to manage challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

 

At Core Connections Psychology Centre, we provide CBT for individuals and teens in Collingwood, Newmarket, and virtually across Ontario. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship challenges, CBT can help you break free from cycles that keep you stuck and move toward a more balanced, grounded life.

CBT Therapy

Individual CBT focuses on understanding how your thoughts influence your emotions and behaviours. Through structured, goal-oriented sessions, you’ll learn to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and practice strategies that improve your mental health and daily life.

 

Common issues treated with CBT include:

  • Anxiety, panic attacks, or excessive worry

  • Depression, low mood, or loss of motivation

  • Stress and burnout related to work, school, or life changes

  • Perfectionism, self-criticism, or low self-esteem

  • Sleep difficulties or overthinking

  • Coping with chronic pain, illness, or grief

 

 

In CBT for individuals, you’ll learn to:

  • Identify negative thought patterns and reframe them in healthier ways

  • Reduce avoidance and increase problem-solving skills

  • Practice techniques for managing anxiety, stress, and difficult emotions

  • Build healthier coping strategies and daily routines

  • Increase self-confidence, self-compassion, and emotional resilience

​

Outcome: Clients often report improved mood, decreased anxiety, greater self-awareness, and tools they can continue using long after therapy ends.
