Treatment Methods

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). CBT focuses on breaking down overwhelming problems into smaller manageable ones. CBT is based on the belief that our thoughts influence our feelings and behavior. CBT focuses on teaching skills and techniques to cope and alter behavior. CBT helps you manage your emotions and thoughts and improve self-esteem.

Solution Focused is a brief style of therapy in which we focus on solutions without deep diving into every detail of the problems being experienced. Solution Focused therapy strives to find realistic and workable solutions as quickly as possible to minimize the time in therapy. Solution Focused identifies the patient’s default solution patterns and improve them to work more efficiently for the patient.

Strengths Based therapy focuses on the patient’s positive qualities, strengths and resiliency and utilizing these to improve their life. Strengths Based therapy works to improve a patient’s view of themselves and their view of the world to a more positive one. Strengths Based therapy encourages the patient to reframe weaknesses into strengths to face their problems and find solutions.

Trauma Focused therapy utilizes psychoeducation to normalize reactions and experiences with trauma. Trauma Focused therapy teaches patients coping skills and how to handle trauma triggers and memories. Trauma therapy focuses on helping the patient to gain a sense of safety back in their lives.  

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR accesses frozen memory networks using dual attention stimuli, processes out the disturbing material, integrates helpful information into the memory, and reduces/eliminates trauma symptoms. EMDR strengthens positive internal belief systems opening you up to a wide variety of new positive experiences in life.
