Summary

Working with you and teaching you the practical and effective skills needed to tackle various challenges in your daily life.

At AVPS Inc., many of us use an approach called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). 

 With this approach, you and the psychologist or practitioner work together. You learn how to improve your emotional, physiological, and behavioural states. 

Since cognitive refers to a person’s thought processes, the CBT approach works well to help you identify and correct unhelpful thought patterns.
