Mental Health Therapy Approach:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a mental health treatment modality that focuses on talking with the patient in order to teach them the skills needed to cope with strenuous circumstances. By understanding how thoughts, attitudes, and expectations can positively or negatively affect behavior and perception, the patient can be taught new behaviors that will lead to more satisfaction in life.
Psychodynamic Therapy
This approach assumes that an individual’s present-day mental stressors stem from unresolved, unconscious conflicts, typically from childhood. With this approach, the clinician and client will discuss the past in order to help process and manage feelings.
Interpersonal Therapy
Interpersonal therapy focuses on connections, behaviors, and interactions with family and friends. The purpose of this approach is to improve communication skills, increase self-esteem, and resolve mental health issues caused by loss, grief, conflicts, and life transitions
Trauma Therapy
When someone is thrown into an extremely stressful situation, it can lead to psychological trauma. We use a delicate approach to help clients lead a happy and healthy life.
Play Therapy
A form of therapy primarily geared toward children. This form of therapy encourages a child to explore life events that may have an effect on current circumstances, in a manner and pace of the child's choosing, primarily through play but also through language
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a treatment modality that provides patients with skills to help deal with difficult emotions and interpersonal conflicts. DBT provides patients with the tools to utilize mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness to help better manage their life.
