Adaptive CBT for Children & Adolescents
CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) is clinically proven to alleviate some of the symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders in children and adolescents. However, because of the abstract nature of thinking about thinking, a traditional approach can be less effective is some neurodivergent learners, which many families find disheartening.
Suzy’s adaptive application of traditional CBT, with a variety of holistic techniques, encourages young people to understand more about the unique nature of their condition, which can be transformative.
