CBT is a structured, time-limited psychotherapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used to treat anxiety, depression, and a variety of other mental health disorders. By altering distorted thinking and encouraging adaptive behaviors, individuals can learn to manage their symptoms more effectively.

 DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help individuals regulate their emotions and improve relationships. Originally developed for treating borderline personality disorder, DBT focuses on developing skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

EMDR is a specialized therapy designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories.

Treatment is collaborative, goal-oriented, and action-oriented with semi-structured meetings and assigned work outside of the therapy room.  

The therapist and client work in partnership to identify and evaluate negative cognitions, restructure them into realistic, balanced, empowering thoughts, and lead to satisfying lives. We emphasize the client-therapist working relationship to guide discovery toward positive change.

The therapist and client develop goals for change at the start of treatment. Goals are specific, measurable, realistic, and time-bound. 

Sessions are guided to examine and challenge cognitive assumptions, develop healthier mindsets, make behavioral changes, and use tools that sustain change. 

 The client and therapist work together to establish the meeting agenda. The agenda guides the session, ensures pressing issues are addressed, clarifies the nature of the problem, and allows discussion of work outside the session.   

Work outside the session is a personal commitment to implement the interventions discussed in meetings or other assignments to support treatment goals.
