Provider Testimonials

Here's what one clinician had to say about AF-CBT:

I enjoy working with the AF-CBT Model and have gotten a great response from most of my clients. I keep record of how the small positive changes have resulted in improved consequences/outcomes as examples to use with clients when they find it challenging to process new situations. The consistent practice in session of these techniques (0 to 10 Scale, coping skills, and ABC Model Pathway) make them more natural to use for the clients with future challenges. I also ordered posters for my wall [Managing Your Anger, Stop-Think-Choose, and How Are You Feeling Today? (English and Spanish)] and made floor mats that follow the same ABC Model Pathway to help clients.
