This helps facilitate our informed approach to treatment, allowing us to better understand the individual and what they bring to therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based approach that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It helps clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and actions are interconnected. Through structured sessions, clients learn strategies to challenge and modify negative thinking and behavior patterns, which can lead to improvements in their emotional state and has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals regulate emotions and improve their relationships. DBT focuses on developing skills to help clients remain present, regulate emotions, and maintain healthier relationships. DBTÂ also aims to help clients recognize the duality in all aspects of life and to tolerate uncertainty and ambiguity.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes finding solutions rather than focusing on problems. Using a client's strengths and resources, a therapist supports them to foster positive change. Solution-focused therapy focuses on actionable steps to help clients achieve their goals. By emphasizing solutions and future possibilities, a therapist assists clients in making meaningful and lasting changes within a relatively short period of time.
Attachment-Based Therapy is conducted around the theory that early relationships with caregivers inform our emotional and relational patterns. This therapy helps individuals understand and heal attachment wounds and unmet needs from these early relationships. Attachment-based therapy aims at promoting emotional wellness and stability through addressing and remediating attachment patterns established in childhood.
Narrative Therapy emphasizes the importance of our internal "story" about our lives. This method helps individuals externalize their problems from their identity. By reinterpreting their story in an externalized way, clients often have the opportunity to discover and align with their strengths and values. This process empowers clients to envision a future whereby they hold more autonomy and agency.
