Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most well-researched and most effective talk therapies for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health problems. If you struggle with negative thoughts you can’t shake, if you’re self-critical to the point that it hurts your self-worth and confidence, or if you avoid situations that make you feel uncomfortable, cognitive behavioral therapy in Santa Monica, CA, might be for you.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Santa Monica
Everyone has negative thoughts from time to time. These thoughts often show up uninvited and, over time, condition our brains to think negatively. This makes it hard to change or control distressing thoughts, and can leave you feeling completely in their power. Many of these thoughts are self-critical and can intensify feelings of anxiety and discomfort. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps you break and reframe these thinking patterns.
Our CBT therapists at Bespoke Therapy Santa Monica can help you identify and change patterns in your thinking and behavior that might be creating problems with your mental health and overall well-being. You’ll first learn to recognize negative thoughts, then work with your therapist to replace them.
This change does not happen overnight. However, with practice and support, CBT can gradually rewire the brain’s neural pathways, teaching it to replace negative thoughts with positive ones automatically.
Personalized, Expert Care
Your CBT therapist will take time to get to know your history, symptoms, and goals in depth. Based on this understanding, they will create a customized treatment plan that targets the underlying causes of your condition. They will support you throughout the process by regularly tracking your progress and adjusting your care as needed to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Backed by Evidence-Based Practices

What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a short-term and goal-oriented approach. In CBT, the focus is on learning. So, rather than focusing on issues from your past, CBT concentrates on your current dysfunctional thinking patterns. The goal is to understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and how negative thoughts might be creating issues in your life. Once you understand this connection, you learn new ways of thinking and replace negative beliefs and behaviors with more constructive ones.

Convenient Online ADHD Testing Services
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder affects both children and adults in the U.S. If you or your child experiences ADHD, you may have difficulties with paying attention, following instructions and conversations, staying organized, controlling your impulses, and managing time.
Research shows that people with ADHD have brains that are wired differently. Their executive skills develop more slowly than those of individuals who don’t have ADHD. These skills include attention, memory, cognitive flexibility, and impulse control. As a result, people with ADHD often struggle with focusing, making plans, handling frustration, and managing their emotions.
At Bespoke Treatment, we help you quickly identify potential ADHD symptoms in yourself or a loved one. While our online ADHD test isn’t a formal diagnosis, it is a helpful first step in understanding your ADHD challenges and planning what to do next. If the results suggest ADHD, our expert team will support you. We provide virtual assessments and personalized treatment plans, including counseling, coaching, and medication management, all delivered online across California.
