CBT in Columbus Ohio area - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Does anybody know where to get CBT for social anxiety around the central Ohio area?

I keep reading about group therapy and CBT that run you through exersizes of teaching new thought patterns and reactions to social situations; but all I can find is just regular psychologists which, in my opinion, have proven to be worthless for my situation.

Does anybody know how to find or who offers the actual CBT that I'm describing?

I know the SMART website has a bunch of self study cbt work sheets, some of them might work for you. Not sure about group sessions in you area.

perhaps what you are really looking for is a "regular psychologist" who has training and experience in CBT. One thing you might try is to find noteworthy training programs in CBT and then see if any graduates of these programs are praciticing in your area.

regardless of what you do about the above, it is a good thing to learn as much as you can about CBT, because half the job of the theripist will be to teach you about it so that you can work together on understanding your cognitions and enacting a plan to change them.

best of luck~~~~

School's with well regarded CBT programs include Pennsylvania U, Boston University, UCLA and Stanford.
Don't have any knowledge of the Columbus area though sorry.
The TEA form exercise in the CBT book by Sam Obitz is really good if you do them daily.
