I recently achieved accreditation through the Academy of Cognitive Therapy (ACT), a certifying organization specifically for Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. The rigorous credentialing process, as highlighted on the Academy’s website, “evaluates applicants’ knowledge and ability before granting certification. The exacting standards of the Academy are designed to identify clinicians with the necessary training, experience, and knowledge to be effective cognitive therapists.” As part of my training in CBT, I completed an intensive supervision program through the Beck Institute, during which I worked weekly with expert CBT therapist, Elisa Nelbolsine, LCSW.
