34 <strong>Cognitive</strong>-<strong>behavioural</strong> <strong>therapy</strong> : <strong>An</strong> <strong>information</strong> <strong>guide</strong><br />
How can I find a qualified CBT<br />
therapist in my area?<br />
To find the contact <strong>information</strong> for certified cbt therapists in<br />
Canada and the United States, consult the following resources:<br />
• Academy of <strong>Cognitive</strong> Therapies<br />
www.academyofct.org<br />
• Association for Behaviour and <strong>Cognitive</strong> Therapies<br />

What can I expect on my first visit with<br />
a CBT therapist?<br />
At your first visit, you and the cbt therapist will discuss:<br />
• the nature and causes of your difficulties and factors that could be<br />
maintaining them<br />
• how the therapist will apply the cbt model to your specific problems<br />
• how the tasks that you will do in <strong>therapy</strong> can work to change different<br />
aspects of the problems<br />
• what you want to get out of treatment<br />
• whether cbt is a suitable treatment approach for you<br />
• whether other treatment approaches might be called for, either<br />
instead of or in addition to cbt.<br />
By the end of this first visit, you and the therapist will have developed<br />
a goal-oriented treatment plan to address your difficulties.
