Bay Area TEAM Therapists Provide Feeling Good Mood Therapy

T.E.A.M. Therapy: the tools you need for the life you want
Are you looking for a highly trained therapist who can work with you to provide you with specific tools for change rather than months or years of endless talking? Perhaps you have read one of Dr. David Burns’ excellent self-help books and want help bringing those methods to life, or simply want help overcoming

  • Depression, loneliness, shame, or low-self esteem
  • Anxiety, such as chronic worrying, panic attacks, phobias, shyness, OCD, PTSD, or public speaking anxiety
  • Relationship problems, such as marital or family conflict, fear of rejection, or excessive anger
  • Habits and addictions, such as procrastination, overeating, drug or alcohol abuse, or internet addiction

If so, then you’ve come to the right place. We are a group of independent licensed therapists serving the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. All of our therapists have trained closely with David Burns, M.D. and are certified in the new T.E.A.M. treatment methods that he has developed.

What is T.E.A.M. Therapy? T.E.A.M. Therapy is a highly innovative and powerful form of therapy that builds upon evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to enhance their effectiveness. Our goal is high-speed change and relief for you.

T = Testing. We will measure your symptoms at the start and end of every therapy session using brief, accurate scales to make sure that you are meeting your goals. You will also have the chance to rate your therapist’s warmth, understanding, and helpfulness at the end of every session.

E = Empathy. You will find T.E.A.M. therapists to be highly empathic, warm and caring. Understanding your feelings, thoughts, and concerns is our first priority.

T.E.A.M. therapists will help you pinpoint precisely why you’ve been stuck and will boost your motivation to change your life. We will work on the problems that upset you the most and the ones that YOU want to change.

M = Methods. The heart of T.E.A.M. therapy lies in more than 50 powerful methods that can help you defeat the negative thoughts, beliefs, and behavior patterns that have been robbing you of joy, self-esteem, productivity and intimacy. T.E.A.M. therapy has strong roots in CBT and also draws on effective techniques from many other schools of therapy.

We are a group of highly trained, caring professionals who are excited to work with you. Review our Find a T.E.A.M. Therapist page and contact one of our therapists to get started.
