We will then discuss with you the different paths we can take to meet those goals. Our focus is using evidence based therapy techniques with our clients, but we can use a variety of tools and approaches to make sure that your therapy sessions fit your needs.
We treat a wide range of mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and OCD.

What is Evidence Based Therapy?

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
CBT is an evidence based therapy framework that encompasses a broad group of tools and techniques. It is the most well-researched evidence based therapy and has been found to be effective in treating numerous conditions, such as PTSD, depression, social anxiety, phobias, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, OCD, and insomnia. It can also be helpful with addressing low self-esteem, body image concerns, anger management, and interpersonal communication.

CBT for Depression (CBT-D)
CBT-D has been determined to be a very effective therapy approach for reducing depression symptoms. The overall goal of CBT-D is to reduce a client’s symptoms of depression by helping them to develop more balanced and helpful thoughts about themselves, others, and the future. CBT-D also uses behavior change techniques by having clients spend more time engaging in pleasurable or productive activities.

CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I)
CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a treatment that is used to help people who are experiencing insomnia. It helps clients change the behaviors that are interfering with their sleep. It also helps clients identify and challenge the negative thoughts that make it more difficult to fall asleep.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
CPT is a type of evidence based therapy that is used for people who have experienced trauma. Trauma often changes how people view themselves and the world. Sometimes these changed views are helpful and other times these changed viewpoints are not fully accurate and can get in the way of recovery from trauma. CPT helps clients learn to identify, evaluate, and change their distorted thoughts.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an evidence based therapy that helps people manage their emotions and improve their ability to communicate and connect with other people. There are four main key areas that are addressed in DBT: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Clients learn and apply different skills to address these key areas.

Eye Movement Desensitization Reflex (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization Reflex (EMDR) is a a type of evidence based therapy primarily used for people who have experienced trauma. It involves thinking about a difficult memory while paying attention to a back-and-forth movement or sound (like a finger waving side to side, a light, or a tone). There is also substantial research showing that EMDR can be effective with a wide range of mental health difficulties, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, grief, phobias, and self-esteem issues.

Interpersonal Therapy for Depression (IPT)
Interpersonal Therapy for Depression (IPT) is an evidence based treatment, primarily used for depression, that focuses on the interaction between an individual’s mood and their relationships with others. Its underlying principle is that depression affects relationships and can create problems with interpersonal connections. The goals of IPT are to help the client communicate better with others and address the problems that contribute to their depression. Studies have also shown IPT to be useful in the treatment of other issues such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and borderline personality disorder.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence based treatment that helps people become more motivated to make changes in their daily lives. It can also help people improve their ability to take action on their plans to change. MI is often used to address health behaviors, such as alcohol abuse, quitting smoking, and improving diet or exercise. It can also be used to help people with making decisions about healthy relationships or the next steps in their career. Anytime someone is feeling uncertain, stuck, or worried when facing a choice or a change, MI tools can be utilized to help.

Prolonged Exposure (PE)
Prolonged Exposure (PE) is a type of evidence based therapy used for people who have experienced trauma. In PE, the client will gradually approach trauma-related memories and situations that they have been avoiding. PE involves talking about the traumatic incident and approaching things in life that the client has been avoiding because they remind them of the trauma. By approaching these memories and situations, the client’s intense feelings related to the trauma will decrease as will their PTSD symptoms.
