How we think can dramatically
affect how we feel.
CBT shows us how our thought patterns influence our feelings, how we act in the world, and how we feel in our body. These parts of ourselves are all intimately connected. Changes in any of these areas will affect all of the other areas. It is very easy to get caught in a downward spiral and it can feel hard to lift yourself out of it alone. Through a variety of tools and strategies we will identify how to reverse that spiral.
Sometimes when you are going through a difficult time it can be hard to know where to start. We can start by figuring out the easiest place to start, that will have the biggest impact, while we keep working on long-term changes.
A highly researched and well respected form of therapy
There are thousands of studies documenting the effectiveness of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. The newest approaches to CBT incorporate concepts like mindfulness, and acceptance. At CBT Solutions these techniques are used, to increase mindful awareness of ourselves, with a foundation of cultivating self compassion. We all have these skills within ourselves, but sometimes they can feel buried and hard to access.

About the therapist
Liz Curran – MSW, RSW
It’s an honour and a privilege to work with people through some of the most difficult struggles in their lives. I am constantly amazed at the strength and resiliency that we have as human beings. I believe in working with people’s strengths as well as challenges, and creating a foundation of compassion and respect in the therapy process. As a registered social worker, I have many years of experience working in community social service agencies, and private and non-profit counselling agencies. I’ve worked with people from all walks of life and backgrounds, and value diversity in all
its forms. A newcomer to Hamilton, I love this city, and I look forward to raising my daughter here.
I look forward to learning more about you and talking about how we can best work together to meet your goals.
