History

Established in 2010.

Laura Johnson launched a private CBT practice in San Jose specializing in anxiety, OCD and eating disorders in 2010. Laura started the CBT Center because of the positive changes CBT has had on her own life since she started learning CBT in the late 1990s. Laura saw a need for a CBT Center in the San Jose area because there’s a lack of therapists who are trained in evidence-​based therapies.

In 2012, the practice expanded and was incorporated as the Cognitive Behavior Therapy Center of Silicon Valley, Adult & Child Counseling Inc. In 2014, the CBT Center moved to a larger office space in Saratoga, CA.

Currently, we have several staff therapists at the Cognitive Behavior Therapy Center. We stand out for our understanding and caring for our clients and our relentless pursuit of advanced training to deliver more effective therapy to our clients. All of our therapists are employees of the CBT Center. This ensures you will receive high quality CBT no matter which therapist you see.
