High-Speed Recovery from Depression and Anxiety

Are You Struggling with Depression or Anxiety?

You've achieved a great deal in your life. You're ambitious, driven, and capable. You've worked hard, overcome challenges, and perhaps enjoyed considerable success in your career and personal life.

Yet, despite everything you've accomplished, you may still feel that you're never quite good enough.

Perhaps your mind is constantly racing with "What if?" thoughts, anticipating everything that could go wrong. Maybe you struggle with perfectionism, self-criticism, or an overwhelming sense of inadequacy. Or perhaps anxiety and depression have made it difficult to enjoy the life you've worked so hard to build.

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. And change is possible.

Many people struggling with anxiety and depression hold beliefs such as:

• "My worrying keeps me motivated and protects me from failure. If I stop worrying, I'll become complacent."

• "There's something fundamentally wrong with me. My worth as a person depends on what I accomplish."

• "Anxiety is dangerous. I need to avoid the thoughts, feelings, and situations that make me anxious."

These beliefs can feel absolutely true, but they often contribute to the very suffering you're trying to escape.

In TEAM-CBT, we explore how negative thoughts, self-defeating beliefs, and avoidance can contribute to anxiety and depression. We also examine something surprising: the positive values and motivations that may be hiding beneath your painful feelings.

Rather than simply fighting your anxiety or trying to force yourself to think positively, you'll learn powerful tools to change your relationship with your thoughts and feelings—and begin moving toward the life you want.

Real, Long-Lasting Change Is Possible

You don't necessarily need years of therapy to experience meaningful improvement.

I specialize in TEAM-CBT (Testing, Empathy, Agenda Setting, and Methods), an innovative form of cognitive behavioral therapy developed by Dr. David Burns.

TEAM-CBT combines practical, evidence-based techniques with a highly personalized and collaborative approach. One of its distinctive features is helping you understand and resolve the understandable resistance that can arise when you're contemplating change.

Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck and select methods tailored to your particular challenges.

My goal isn't simply to help you feel better during our sessions. It's to teach you skills you can use independently, so you can become your own therapist when difficult feelings return.

Many people are surprised by how quickly meaningful change can occur. While everyone's experience is different, my approach emphasizes making substantial progress as efficiently as possible and developing the skills needed to maintain those gains.

Start Living the Life You Want

Imagine being able to face challenges without being overwhelmed by worry, enjoy your accomplishments without relentless self-criticism, and approach life with greater confidence and self-acceptance.

These are the kinds of changes we can work toward together.

I've had the privilege of helping clients experience substantial improvement in anxiety and depression, sometimes in just a handful of sessions. I also emphasize relapse prevention, so clients leave therapy with practical tools for handling future setbacks.

Here's how one client described his experience working with me:

“I developed sleeplessness, anxiety and depression post-COVID 19 infection. I went through talk therapy, medications and nothing helped as much as TEAM-CBT from the Feeling Good Institute with a trained and professional therapist like Kevin. Kevin was very thorough and committed in his approach and all it took was 4 to 5 sessions. I could notice that my measured anxiety and depression decreased significantly after each session. Also, I was provided tools and techniques that allowed me to manage anxiety lifelong. I was also provided relapse prevention training which came in handy as well. While the per session cost might look expensive at front, it is very effective and and all it takes is a few sessions. If not for CBT, I do not know how much money I would have spent on talk therapy, which did not make much of a difference in my scenario. The only pre-requisite is a strong commitment from the patient to follow and practice the techniques.” —Paul Subbu, Sunnyvale, CA

Choose the Pace of Therapy That's Right for You

One of the advantages of high-speed TEAM-CBT therapy is the flexibility to tailor treatment to your goals, schedule, and preferences. I offer three options:

1. Weekly 110-Minute Sessions

My recommended option for most clients seeking weekly therapy.

Traditional psychotherapy typically consists of weekly 50-minute sessions. With 110 minutes, we have more time to explore what's keeping you stuck, practice powerful TEAM-CBT techniques, and work toward meaningful change.

These longer sessions can help us accomplish more in each meeting and may shorten the overall course of therapy.

2. Weekly 50-Minute Sessions

A flexible option for clients with busy schedules.

If longer appointments aren't practical, traditional 50-minute sessions can still be highly effective.

We'll use the same collaborative TEAM-CBT approach, focusing on your goals and making the most of our time together. Progress may take more sessions than with the longer format, but we'll work at a pace that fits your needs.

3. Intensive TEAM-CBT Therapy

For clients who want to make substantial progress in a concentrated period of time.

Therapy intensives offer an opportunity to devote several hours to treatment over one or two weeks, rather than spreading appointments across several months.

We'll work together to establish specific, achievable goals and create an individualized treatment plan. A typical online intensive involves approximately 12 hours of therapy over two weeks.

During your intensive, we'll focus on understanding and changing the thoughts and patterns contributing to your depression or anxiety, practicing effective TEAM-CBT methods, and developing relapse prevention skills so you can continue using what you've learned long after treatment ends.
