Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a "problem-focused" method, which means it targets specific problems that cause psychological distress. It is "action-oriented" therapy in which the patient and psychologist select specific strategies to address the issue(s) at hand and ultimately transform depression, stess, anxiety and other negative mental processes into more positive mental processing

Mindfulness is a method of confronting stress through looking toward an issue rather than away from it. This process cultivates a healthy lifestyle in which those who practice it are more present in their circumstances and able to respond to stress in a positive manner.

In a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course participants will learn to use simple meditation and gentle movement to manage their thoughts and emotions.
