Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does therapy actually work?
Yes. CBT and DBT are among the most widely researched, evidence-based psychological interventions available, with decades of clinical studies supporting their effectiveness for anxiety, depression, OCD, insomnia, and emotion regulation difficulties. Unlike open-ended talk therapy, CBT and DBT are active, goal-directed approaches — we don't just discuss what's wrong, we build specific, measurable skills to change it.
