Transformational Healing with TEAM CBT Therapy in Elk Grove
|
At Radiant Mind Therapy, Inc., we proudly offer TEAM CBT therapy, a powerful and scientifically supported approach to emotional healing that blends the best elements of cognitive behavioral therapy with modern innovations designed to break through the barriers that keep people stuck. Developed by renowned psychiatrist and author Dr. David Burns, TEAM CBT helps individuals experience fast, effective, and lasting change.
Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or unwanted habits and addictions, TEAM CBT can provide you with the tools to overcome resistance, reconnect with your strengths, and take control of your emotional well-being. This isn’t just therapy that helps you cope—it’s therapy that helps you change.
What Is TEAM CBT?
TEAM CBT stands for Testing, Empathy, Agenda Setting, and Methods. This structured and collaborative approach is grounded in evidence-based therapy practices and was developed to accelerate the healing process by identifying and eliminating the subconscious resistance that often prevents progress in traditional talk therapy.
Here’s how the TEAM model works:
Testing
In each session, you’ll complete a short survey to measure your mood and symptoms. This gives us real-time data to track your progress and guide our work together.

Empathy
We build trust by meeting you with genuine compassion, listening deeply to your concerns, and ensuring you feel truly seen and understood.

Agenda Setting
We collaboratively decide what problems you want to work on and what goals you want to achieve, ensuring each session is focused and purposeful.
Methods
We apply dozens of proven CBT techniques that are personalized to your situation. These methods are designed to shift distorted thinking, resolve inner conflicts, and create lasting emotional change.
Unlike traditional CBT therapy, TEAM CBT doesn’t just focus on techniques—it works on a deeper level to address why you may be subconsciously resisting change. Once we uncover and address these internal blocks, healing happens faster and more completely.
Why TEAM CBT Works
TEAM CBT is a data-driven and highly effective form of cognitive behavioral therapy, and the results speak for themselves. According to research conducted by the Feeling Good Institute:
Clients experience a 30% reduction in emotional suffering in just one session
Significant improvements are often seen in just five therapy sessions
TEAM CBT is up to 8 times more effective than traditional therapy approaches
These results are based on clinical studies involving nearly 400 patients, where symptom changes were measured before and after every session using the Brief Mood Survey. This ongoing measurement and feedback loop ensures that you and your therapist always know exactly how you’re progressing.
Conditions Treated with TEAM CBT
Kim Sullivan, LMFT, integrates TEAM CBT into her work with clients to address a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges. This approach is ideal for:

Many people struggle with emotional disconnection, communication issues, or recurring patterns in their relationships. TEAM CBT helps clients understand the role of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions in relationship dynamics—and gives them tools to make meaningful changes.
Depression
TEAM CBT addresses the negative thoughts and distorted beliefs that fuel depression. Using empathy, cognitive reframing, and behavioral activation, we work together to rebuild hope and reclaim motivation.

Whether you’re experiencing generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, or phobias, TEAM CBT helps reduce symptoms by challenging fear-based thinking and gradually building emotional tolerance and resilience.
