CBIT IS MEDICATION FREE AND EVIDENCE BASED. IT HAS BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO HELP REDUCE TICS.
CBIT IS A TIERED APPROACH FOR TEACHING CHILDREN AND ADULTS TO MANAGE TICS:
CBIT IS TAILORED TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND TYPICALLY DONE IN 8 WEEKLY SESSIONS OVER 10 WEEKS. IT IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CLIENT, THERAPIST, AND SUPPORTS (USUALLY A PARENT FOR CHILDREN) WHERE THEY ALL WORK TOGETHER THROUGH THE CBIT PROCESS AND REDUCE THE SEVERITY OF TICS.
FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN CBIT, THE PROCESS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN TYPICAL THERAPY — IT’S TAILORED TO EACH CLIENT’S NEEDS AND PROGRESS. OUR FIRST MEETING IS TYPICALLY 1.5 HOURS LONG, AND WE TALK A LOT ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TICS AND HOW THEY ARE IMPACTING YOUR LIFE. AFTER THAT, WE MEET WEEKLY FOR 45 MINUTES TO 1 HOUR FOR THE NEXT 4-6 WEEKS. AFTER ABOUT WEEK 7 OR 8, WE MEET EVERY OTHER WEEK FOR 1-2 FINAL SESSIONS. YOU WILL HAVE HOMEWORK TO COMPLETE AFTER EVERY SESSION TO APPLY WHAT WE’VE PRACTICED TOGETHER IN THERAPY.
MAINTENANCE SESSIONS WITH CBIT CLIENTS IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE AFTER YOU GRADUATE FROM THERAPY!
ALL THERAPY IS DONE ONLINE AT THIS TIME. IN PERSON AVAILABILITY IN GOSHEN, NY IS DONE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS FOR CBIT CLIENTS.
