About Us

At Best Intentions Behavioral Therapy, the motto "THINK. FEEL. GROW." encapsulates a holistic approach to mental health and personal development. This concise yet profound phrase reflects the core values and therapeutic processes at the heart of their services. Let's break down what each element signifies and how it contributes to the overarching mission of fostering well-being and growth.

 

 

THINK.

This first component emphasizes the importance of cognition in the therapeutic process. It acknowledges the power of thoughts in shaping our emotions and behaviors. By encouraging clients to engage in reflective thinking, Best Intentions Behavioral Therapy aims to help individuals become more aware of their thought patterns, particularly those that may be unhelpful or detrimental to their well-being. Cognitive-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), often form a part of this process, assisting clients in identifying, challenging, and changing negative thought patterns to more positive and productive ones.

FEEL.

Emotion is at the core of human experience, influencing how we perceive the world and interact with others. "FEEL" highlights the importance of acknowledging, understanding, and expressing emotions in a healthy way. Best Intentions Behavioral Therapy provides a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their emotions, understand their emotional responses, and learn how to manage them effectively. This emotional processing can lead to healing from past traumas, improvement in relationships, and a better overall sense of emotional well-being.

GROW.

The ultimate goal of therapy is growth – personal, emotional, and psychological. "GROW" reflects the transformative journey clients embark upon, facilitated by their work in the realms of thinking and feeling. Growth involves overcoming challenges, learning new coping strategies, making positive changes in behavior, and moving towards a more fulfilling and balanced life. Best Intentions Behavioral Therapy is committed to supporting clients through this process of change, offering guidance, encouragement, and the tools necessary for personal development and self-improvement.

Join us in embodying the phrase... 
"THINK. FEEL. GROW."

The motto "THINK. FEEL. GROW." beautifully captures the essence of what Best Intentions Behavioral Therapy aims to achieve – helping individuals to reflect on their thoughts, understand and manage their emotions, and embrace growth and change. It serves as a guiding principle for both therapists and clients, reminding everyone involved of the transformative power of therapy and the potential within each person to evolve and flourish.
