We realize the importance of developing a supportive therapy relationship based in trust, mutual respect, and clear understanding of your unique background, values,and needs. At the Cognitive Therapy Institute, we work with you to identify goals and to develop a plan for reaching your goals in a sensible and effective way. Often our clients experience increased confidence and success in a relatively short time, largely because we offer clear guidance and techniques using the latest Cognitive Behavioral Treatments. You learn skills and strategies to resolve current difficulties and to enjoy a good quality of life in the years ahead.

We specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), proven effective in overcoming panic, anxiety, depression... and in reaching personal and career goals. CBT is active, focused, and practical. We offer a supportive relationship but go far beyond simply "talking about your problems". You will receive clear guidance and develop important life skills.
Many therapists claim to offer CBT but have had little training in this approach. Dr. Shenk is certified by the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, www.academyofct.org, and has years of advanced training. We offer proven treatments, with very good success rates, for panic, anxiety, OCD, and many other conditions.
