The techniques used in individual and couples therapy at the Austin Center for CBT are backed by extensive research. At the beginning of therapy, we tailor a plan of treatment for you and your goals, then help you implement and practice new skills. Under the umbrella of CBT, we provide several distinct treatment options, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Schema Therapy, Gottman Method™ Couples Therapy, and sex therapy. Utilizing interventions that have been rigorously studied, CBT helps clients make changes they can maintain even after the end of treatment.

Austin Center for CBT was founded by Dr. Tamara Bryan, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing CBT to individuals and couples. In addition to psychotherapy, we also offer CBT resources to the public and supervision to other clinicians.

CBT Utilizes Research-based Strategies
to Achieve Your Goals

  • Personalized Plan of Treatment

Together, we create a personalized plan of treatment for your unique challenges and goals. This treatment plan is informed by current research findings as well as your priorities and preferences. Typically, CBT involves focusing on thoughts and behaviors that lead to difficulties, then learning new skills and strategies to help you better navigate challenging situations and emotions.  Practicing and refining skills between sessions for homework is a fundamental element of CBT.
