Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the primary approach used by Dr. Avny. CBT is meant to be short-term treatment aimed at teaching youth and parents skills. CBT differs from many other therapies because of the focus on how thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected and and how they affect one another. Dr. Avny works with each family to develop a specific and individualized treatment plan, to help change patient's unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns.
