Therapeutic Approaches
We tailor treatment to meet your unique needs. Each of our clinicians has their own area of specialty, training and experience. Below are the major approaches that our clinicians are trained in.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful beliefs and behaviors in order to improve emotional and psychological well-being. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts and beliefs affect our behavior and emotions, so by changing our thoughts and beliefs, we can improve our mental health. We offer personalized CBT sessions, tailored to the individual's needs and goals.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on exploring the underlying dynamics of a person’s emotional and psychological life. It helps to uncover the unconscious thoughts, feelings, and motivations that may be causing psychological distress. This type of therapy can help to gain insight, increase self-awareness, and improve relationships.
Person-Centered/Humanistic Therapy
Person-Centered/Humanistic Therapy is a non-directive approach to counseling that focuses on the individual's experience in the present moment. It emphasizes the client's self-awareness and personal growth, emphasizing the therapeutic relationship to foster positive change. At our practice, we provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their feelings and experiences in order to gain insight and develop effective coping strategies.
Exposure and Response Prevention
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is an evidence-based treatment for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Through ERP, individuals learn to confront their fears and reduce compulsive behaviors. ERP provides a safe, supportive environment to challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, allowing individuals to gain control over their anxiety and OCD symptoms.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based approach to psychological health that helps people accept what is out of their control and commit to taking action that aligns with their values. Our team of experienced therapists can help you learn to identify and manage unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so that you can live a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Trauma Focused CBT (TF-CBT)
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals who have experienced trauma. TF-CBT combines cognitive-behavioral, family, and humanistic techniques to help clients process and come to terms with their traumatic experiences. With TF-CBT, clinicians can help clients develop healthy coping skills in order to improve their overall emotional wellbeing.
Mindfulness-Based Treatment
Mindfulness-Based Treatment offers a holistic approach to mental health and well-being. It focuses on developing an awareness of the present moment and using it to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. By using techniques such as meditation and breathing exercises, clients can learn to better manage their emotions and become more resilient to life's challenges.
Exposure Therapy
Exposure Therapy is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that helps individuals confront their fears and anxieties. The therapy works by gradually exposing the person to the source of fear in a safe, controlled environment, allowing them to learn to manage their reactions and reduce their fear. This type of therapy can be extremely beneficial for those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, phobias, and other anxiety-related disorders.
Mirror Exposure Therapy
Mirror Exposure Therapy is a valuable psychological service that helps individuals struggling with body image issues. It utilizes mirrors to help the individual confront their negative body image perceptions and gradually learn to accept their body. Through this approach, individuals can develop more positive body image and feel more comfortable in their own skin.
Maudsley Family-Based Treatment (MFBT)
Maudsley Family-Based Treatment (MFBT) empowers parents to become essential partners in their child's recovery from anorexia nervosa. This approach positions parents to take the lead in the refeeding processing and helping their child return to healthy weight by mitigating food restriction. Additionally, the family works in therapy to understand the underlying issues contributing to the eating disorder, offering an effective alternative to hospitalization or facility-based care.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment designed to help manage emotional distress, self-harm, and borderline personality disorder (BPD). DBT integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness to teach patients skills for emotion regulation, crisis intervention, and to improve interpersonal skills.
