Every therapist has their own style and integrates different techniques and skills designed to help each client. Many of our therapists utilize the following therapies:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you retrain your thoughts from negative, unhealthy thoughts to more positive and empowering thoughts. When thoughts are more positive, healthier behaviors follow. CBT is one of the most researched interventions and is found to be one of the most effective for many different diagnoses, including depression and anxiety.
Mindfulness techniques can help us focus more on the present moment with a sense of nonjudgment and compassion. These techniques have been proven to help many different difficulties, including depression, anxiety, stress, chronic pain, and increased life satisfaction. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is designed to help people who suffer repeated bouts of depression and chronic unhappiness. It combines cognitive therapy ideas with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy, people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy in just a few sessions that once took years to make a difference. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can, in fact, heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. For more information on EMDR: http://www.emdr.com/
Somatic therapies are a type of mental health counseling that uses mind-body healing techniques to help people relieve emotional and physical stress. It focuses on how the body expresses painful experiences and can help people recover from trauma. Somatic therapy can also help relieve other manifestations of stress, such as disrupted sleep and an inability to concentrate.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of psychotherapy that helps people understand different “parts” of themselves and how they may be causing certain behaviors. These parts can conflict with each other, leading to problematic habits and behaviors. IFS therapy aims to achieve balance and harmony within the internal system and to differentiate and elevate the Self to be an effective leader in the system.
Behavioral Activation (BA) is a form of short-term outpatient therapy that engages individuals in rewarding activities of their own choosing as a way to counter the negative feelings and withdrawal that are typical of depression and anxiety. Behavioral Activation is a basic component of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but when applied intensively, it is also used as a treatment in its own right and can be incorporated into many other types of therapy.
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation, and a variety of other challenging symptoms. It is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Bilateral sound, which is deep, direct, powerful, yet focused and containing.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) used to treat a variety of conditions, including anxiety, phobias, and eating disorders. It is considered the gold-standard treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
