Cognitive Behavioral Treatment Center – Chicago • Twin Cities (Skokie, IL)

We do therapy because it works. We develop treatment programs in collaboration with each individual. They are designed to be flexible and travel well into your life outside the therapy room. Treatment focuses on alleviating suffering and increasing your connection with what’s important in your life. The spirit of our approach is active and genuine. We embrace imperfection as a natural state of being and view mistakes as portals for learning. We regard humor and humility as invaluable tools and use them to change our perspectives.

The following approaches are used in a complementary, fluid manner consistent with the therapist-client treatment plan and goals: exposure and response prevention (ERP), Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), habit reversal training, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Activation, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP).

Diversity Statement:
We recognize the role of systemic factors in creating and maintaining suffering in the world. As such, we work to dismantle systems of oppression within ourselves by practicing cultural humility and making diversity and culture part of regular professional development for our staff. We defer to one’s lived experience. And we take radical accountability, accounting first for our own role in a situation as we work to right systemic wrongs.

Cognitive Behavioral Treatment Center-Chicago ∗ Twin Cities was built to serve the suffering in our community and employ staff, regardless of race, creed, sex, or sexual orientation.
