High-quality mental health care is hard to find.
BUT IT SHOULDN’T BE.

HOW IT ALL STARTED
Our Story
CABT began in 2015 as a shared vision between clinical psychologists David Yusko and Steven Tsao. What started small has grown into a passionate team of dedicated therapists committed to delivering high-quality mental health care and making it more accessible around the world. From our first OCD workshop in 2019 to training over 1,600 therapists in the first five years of operation, we’ve stayed grounded in our mission: to provide expert, compassionate care and training, so patients don’t have to suffer longer than necessary.

TRAUMA
Our therapists use evidence-based treatments to help patients process trauma and PTSD, addressing the root causes while reducing symptoms and restoring safety and control.
EMETOPHOBIA
We’re one of the few centers worldwide specializing in emetophobia, offering targeted treatment and a supportive community for patients and therapists through the Emetophobia Institute.

We provide specialized, science-backed care—including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—to help patients manage symptoms and reclaim their peace of mind.
KIDS & TEENS
Our team provides tailored, evidence-based treatments to help kids and teens better understand their anxiety and build lasting coping skills.
We’re dedicated to improving the lives of youth and adults affected by anxiety through compassionate, evidence-based care. At the heart of our work is a commitment to excellence—not only in the therapy room, but also in training and uplifting the next generation of mental health professionals.

FAQs
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a scientifically supported approach that helps people by focusing on present challenges rather than exploring the past. Unlike traditional talk therapy, CBT emphasizes building practical skills, practicing exercises, and learning through real-world application. It is an active, collaborative process where the therapist and client work together to overcome obstacles and create meaningful change.
