Therapy Modalities

Brainspotting is a powerful therapeutic technique that works on the principle that where you look affects how you feel. With the help of a trained brainspotting therapist, clients are able to work at their own pace to tap into the brain's ability to access, process, and release deep-seated trauma, anxiety, and emotional pain, using the mind-body connection. Brainspotting can be used to help several conditions, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, emotional dysregulation, physical/somatic pain, and addiction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and works to change negative thought patterns to help you change how you feel and react to challenging situations. You will learn to identify automatic negative thoughts and cognitive distortions, challenge the accuracy of those thoughts, and break negative behavoral cycles, replacing them with healthy coping skills. 

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills to manage intense emotions, reduce destructive behaviors, and improve relationships. DBT therapists validate your current struggles and emotions, while helping you learn new behaviors to alter unhelpful patterns. This is accomplished by teaching you skills of Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance Techniques, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness.

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) teaches that our beliefs, not external events, cause emotional distress. By helping people identify and challenge irrational thoughts, they can replace them with healthier more productive beliefs and behaviors.  The therapist helps the client understand that their beliefs about an activating event lead to emotional consequences. Teaching the client to recognize, challenge, and change their beliefs about the activating event leads to a healthier emotional response.
