I’m excited to announce that I am now a Diplomate with the Academy of Cognitive Therapy!

This credential is granted to professionals who complete extensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapy, submit a case write-up, and have a tape-recorded session reviewed by the Academy (www.academyofct.org).

I was trained through the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Center of Western North Carolina (www.behaviortherapist.com). Trent Codd and John Ludgate were the lead trainers, and I’ve also learned a great deal from Rick Baker. This is a top-notch practice of highly skilled therapists.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is proven to be effective with all kinds of anxiety disorders: post-traumatic stress disorder, phobias, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic disorder, among others. It is also very successful in treating depression, substance abuse, and personality disorders.

Feel free to contact me to discuss CBT more fully.
