COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT)
Our MH team of therapists are trained in CBT. CBT is a structured, time-limited, and goal-oriented form of evidence-based psychotherapy. CBT is offered for the treatment of depression and a wide variety of anxiety concerns, including post-traumatic stress. It can assist people in developing skills and strategies for becoming and staying mentally healthy. CBT helps people to examine how they make sense of what is happening around them and how these perceptions affect the way they feel and behave.
Our MH Program is open to patients of Queen Square Family Health Team, and a physician referral is required.
