Our Therapy Programs

Our team of therapists pull from a myriad of evidence based treatment modalities to meet the individual needs of our clients. One of the most well known and effective therapy modalities we offer  is  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy  (CBT).  One of the goals of CBT is to replace negative  thoughts and actions  with productive behaviors that make the  individual feel equipped to  overcome any difficult moment.

We  work with our clients to help them  recognize how their thinking  influences their emotions and behaviors and to establish personalized effective coping  mechanisms.   Doing so will ultimately help you identify and effectively manage thoughts,  emotions, and  behaviors in real-world situations.

DBT is a cognitive behavioral treatment developed by Marsha Linehan, PhD,  ABPP. It emphasizes individual psychotherapy and group skills training  classes to help people learn and use new skills and strategies to develop a life worth living. DBT skills include, skills for mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

DBT  was originally developed  to treat chronically suicidal individuals  diagnosed with borderline  personality disorder (BPD). It is now  recognized as the gold standard  psychological treatment for this  population. In addition, research  has shown that it is effective in  treating a wide range of other  disorders such as substance dependence,  depression, post-traumatic  stress disorder (PTSD), and eating  disorders.

DBT is a comprehensive treatment, which is focused on treating the symptoms  which prevent a person from leading a life worth living.  DBT teaches patients valuable skills to decrease life-threatening and self-injurious  behaviors, decrease therapy-interfering behaviors, decrease quality of  life interfering behaviors and increase coping skills. This is accomplished through teaching teens and adults the skills of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills.
