Behavioral Therapy Q & A
What is behavioral therapy?
Behavioral therapy is a general term that includes the various tools and techniques used to treat mental health conditions. Behavioral therapy aims to identify and change negative behaviors to improve mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
These types of therapies function on the idea that all behaviors are learned and changeable. It’s a highly focused and action-based form of therapy.
What are the types of behavioral therapy?
There are many types of behavioral therapy. Some of the techniques available at Arjun Reyes MD and Associates include:
