How We Treat
After an initial assessment, we will discuss the best course of treatment, using evidence-based approaches most suitable and tailored for your needs. We specialize in:
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a clinically proven therapy that helps you manage emotions, reduce stress, and improve relationships. You'll learn skills like:
- Mindfulness to stay present
- Emotion regulation to manage feelings
- Interpersonal skills for better relationships
- Distress tolerance to handle tough situations
DBT is effective for a variety of emotional struggles and can help improve overall well-being and relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. It teaches how to recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more realistic and positive ones.
In CBT, you'll learn practical coping skills and tools needed to face challenges, feel better, and overcome difficulties. CBT has been shown to be effective for a wide variety of mental health disorders, including anxiety and depression.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps you accept difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that align with your values. You’ll learn mindfulness skills to stay present and connect with what matters most.
ACT teaches you to let go of trying to control your thoughts and emotions, and instead, take meaningful steps toward a fulfilling life. By building psychological flexibility, you'll become more resilient and open to life's challenges.
Exposure and Response Prevention is a therapy designed to help you manage obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, often seen in OCD. In ERP, you'll gradually face the things that trigger your anxiety, while learning not to act on the compulsive behaviors.
Over time, ERP helps reduce anxiety and increases your ability to cope with distressing thoughts without relying on avoidance or rituals.
