Therapists at Beyond Borders CBT carry a less-than-average patient caseload at any given time. Why? Because you aren't a number, you aren't just another patient, and we genuinely care about providing you with the best care possible. As such, we devote significant time to: properly conceptualizing each patient's mental health needs, coordinating care with other clinicians, training family members in best practices with the patient's permission, researching new developments, and connecting with other resources that may be beneficial.

This is not an on-call practice and if you experience a mental health emergency, you are encouraged to first reach out to the crisis hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
