What is TEAM-CBT?
TEAM-CBT was developed by David Burns, MD, author of Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, and pioneer in the field of cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT. Dr. Burns has developed TEAM-CBT, which is the newest iteration of CBT. His approach provides faster and longer-lasting results for patients, and Dr. Lazarus incorporates this approach with every patient he sees.More on Clinical Hypnosis Therapy
Hypnosis therapy is a widely used and greatly effective therapy technique that uses the power of the patient’s mind to treat, manage, and/or cure various conditions. The routines and associated “mind control” acts one may be familiar with outside of a medical setting, most often associated with a stage performance or TV show, poorly represent the results a certified hypnotherapist can achieve.

Treatable Conditions with Clinical Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis therapy can help with many different conditions that include bedwetting, anxiety, headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, tics (with and without Tourette syndrome), and more. Hypnosis for insomnia, for example, has been researched by several different studies and proven to be one of the most effective treatments for the condition.
Dr. Lazarus begins by talking with the parents with a 30-40 minute telephone call at no charge. During this screening phone conversation, Dr. Lazarus determines if the child is motivated and if Dr. Lazarus is the right clinician for the patient.
