Adult Services
Do you want to overcome past distressing experiences, improve your relationships, parenting skills, learn skills to manage your mood or decrease anger, anxiety or depression? We are here to help.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Adults struggling with anxiety or depression can benefit from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). This treatment helps adults express themselves, improve relationships, increase motivation, or manage worries.
CBT is an evidence-based treatment that identifies the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In therapy, you would learn healthy and effective coping tools to assist with emotion regulation, including managing and expressing their feelings.
By recognizing unhealthy thought patterns, we can increase positive self-talk, self-confidence and self-esteem.
DBT & ACT
Based on cognitive-behavioral principles, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) clients are able to identify difficult behaviors and find effective solutions.
DBT focuses on mindfulness, interpersonal relationships, emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
ACT-based skills focus on mindfulness, values, and psychological flexibility, to embrace current thoughts as part of being human as opposed to changing our thoughts.
This action-oriented approach helps clients decrease avoidance of emotions and accept these feelings as part of their daily life.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Throughout our lives, we may experience trauma or distressing events that affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Individuals who have been exposed to trauma may begin to struggle trusting others, safety concerns, issues with power and control, intimacy issues, poor self esteem, increased anxiety, or difficulty sleeping.
In Cognitive Processing Therapy, treatment would assist you with providing a safe and supportive environment to identify the impact of the traumatic experience.
With a strength based approach, treatment would build upon your resiliency to assist with decreasing avoidance of trauma reminders and improve day-to-day living.
*For frequent and distressing nightmares, I also offer Image Rehearsal Therapy (IRT).
