TYPES OF THERAPY
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This treatment allows you to change your patterns of thinking. I can help you gain awareness around your distorted thoughts that create problems in your relationships and your life. The strategies in this treatment will help you learn about where these distortions stem from and most importantly how you can change them by taking a look at your present life, your behaviors, your reality based on present facts. Research shows CBT is as effective as medication in treating anxiety and depression.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): This treatment helps you better manage your emotions by finding ways to accept yourself and feel safe. If you struggle with potentially self destructive or harmful behaviors, these skills can help you better manage your mood. Research shows that this treatment helps treat people with depression, eating disorders, mood disorders, PTSD, and substance abuse. DBT focuses on mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance and emotion regulation.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR): This focused trauma therapy approach helps patients safely reconnect to images, self-thoughts, emotions, and body sensations associated with the trauma. This treatment allows the brain to heal naturally in order to reach an adaptive resolution. EMDR does not include an extensive exposure to the distressing memories. Research shows that this treatment helps treat people with trauma, anxiety, phobias and panic disorders.
Family Systems: This form of therapy helps people resolve their problems in the context of their family units. The benefit of this approach is that it supports people in resolving family conflicts by working better together and giving all family members an opportunity to voice their concerns within the family.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy: This treatment focused on finding solutions in the present time and exploring one's hope for future resolutions. This future-focused and goal-oriented approach helps people focus on the possibility of a resolution rather than being stuck talking about their problems.
