But what do we actually do?

We are committed to our continuing education and training. Here are brief descriptions of some of the therapies we practice.

Abstract image for CBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of talk therapy that focuses on changing negative patterns of thinking and behavior to improve mental health and well-being. It is based on the idea that the way we think about situations affects how we feel emotionally and how we react behaviorally.

In CBT, the therapist works with the client to identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs and replace them with more positive and adaptive ones. This is done through various techniques, such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral experiments, and exposure therapy.

CBT is used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and eating disorders, among others. It is often a short-term treatment that is structured and goal-oriented.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which is a form of therapy that aims to reduce the distress associated with traumatic memories.

EMDR involves the client recalling distressing memories while also following a series of rapid eye movements, taps, or sounds. This is believed to help the brain process the traumatic memories in a more adaptive way, reducing the intensity of the emotional and physical reactions associated with the trauma.

EMDR has been found to be effective in treating PTSD, as well as other conditions related to traumatic experiences, such as anxiety, depression, and phobias. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes.

Play Therapy and PCIT

Play Therapy & Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) are two powerful, evidence-based approaches used to support young children and their families. Both share the core belief that children heal best when they feel safe, understood, and supported by the important adults in their lives.

Play Therapy uses play as the child’s natural language. PCIT coaches caregivers in real time on how to strengthen their relationship with their child.

Both have been found to be effective for children ages 2 to 7 (and older). Sessions are typically 45 to 60 minutes.
