YOUR INSTRUCTOR FOR CBT CERTIFICATION

Course Outline

Think Like a CBT Therapist. Intervene with Confidence. Are you ready to go beyond theory and start thinking, formulating, and intervening like a real CBT therapist? 
This intensive 4-month live online certification is built for psychology students, professionals, and early-career therapists who are serious about gaining practical, clinical CBT skills — not just academic understanding. 
Through hands-on sessions, real case examples, and evidence-based techniques, you’ll learn how thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors interact to maintain psychological distress — and how to disrupt that cycle using structured, proven CBT interventions.

What You’ll Learn:
  • The CBT case formulation model that makes sense of any client story
  • How to spot and challenge automatic thoughts and cognitive distortions
  •  Step-by-step use of tools like Thought Records, Socratic Dialogue, and Behavioral Activation
  • Application of CBT for common concerns: depression, anxiety, panic, avoidance
  • How to plan sessions, measure progress, and build treatment goals
  • Skill-building through live practice, peer work, and feedback
  • End-to-end training in relapse prevention and core belief work

I have been seeing Dr. Siawash for a few months now and every session helps me become a better person. I would strongly recommend him. Going to therapy does not mean that you are weak or cant handle yourself, you sometimes need someone to help you get out of a dark place. Dr. Siawash is certainly a therapist who is prepared to cater every patient according to their needs.
