Dr. Robert Schachter specializes in using Cognitive Therapy. With Cognitive Therapy, patients learn a way to feel better in a short time. Cognitive Therapy is a very effective structured approach that gives you concrete tools to change the way you feel. The primary theory of this approach is that the way you feel depends on how you see a situation. If you are anxious, depressed, under great stress or have any other mood fluctuation you do not see situations realistically because of the symptoms. The therapy Dr. Schachter offers is to teach his patients a set of skills that allows them to see the thoughts that underlie the feelings more realistically and to change your behavior accordingly.
