Treatment Options

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a structured therapeutic approach designed to assist clients in overcoming the negative impact of traumatic experiences. Through CPT, clients work with their therapist to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and beliefs related to the trauma. This process helps individuals gain a more balanced and realistic perspective on their experiences, leading to a reduction in symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and avoidance behaviors.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapeutic approach that helps clients process traumatic memories and alleviate associated distress. During an EMDR session, clients recall distressing experiences while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, typically through guided eye movements or other sensory cues. This process aids in reprocessing the traumatic memory, allowing the individual to integrate it more adaptively, ultimately reducing its emotional charge.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a goal-oriented therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. Clients collaborate with their therapist to recognize and challenge irrational or distorted thinking, replacing it with healthier, more adaptive perspectives. Through structured exercises and homework assignments, individuals learn practical coping skills and strategies to better manage their emotions and navigate challenging situations.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is designed to help clients with emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. Clients learn to identify and manage their intense emotions, develop coping strategies, and improve their ability to communicate, leading to greater emotional stability and healthier relationships. The therapy also emphasizes dialectical thinking: holding 2 differing emotions at the same time.

Gottman Therapy is a couples therapy approach that focuses on enhancing communication and strengthening relationships. Clients in Gottman Therapy engage in structured conversations and exercises designed to improve their understanding of each other's needs,  assertive communication, resolve conflicts more effectively, and build deeper emotional connections, ultimately fostering healthier and more fulfilling partnerships.

Person-centered therapy emphasizes creating a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. Clients are encouraged to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences at their own pace, while the therapist offers empathy without imposing interpretations or advice. This client-centered approach aims to foster self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth, allowing individuals to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and find their own paths to healing and positive change.
