What is TEAM-CBT?

TEAM-CBT brings together the most powerful elements of cognitive behavioral and motivational therapies in a clear and highly effective approach to help depression, anxiety, addiction, and relationship difficulties for lasting health. Developed by Dr. David Burns, MD, a pioneer in the field of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, TEAM-CBT honors where a person is stuck, and then teaches powerful tools to change distorted beliefs on a gut level, allowing the person to feel better and use those same tools themselves whenever needed, to stay well.
