MODALITIES EMPLOYED:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive-behavioral therapy stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings. The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying his or her thinking. The therapist then helps the client modify those thoughts and the behaviors that flow from them. CBT is a structured collaboration between therapist and client and often calls for homework assignments. CBT has been clinically proven to help clients in a relatively short amount of time with a wide range of disorders, including depression and anxiety.

Mindfulness

It is so easy to get wrapped up in the "I should haves" of the past and the worries of the future, that the present is muddied, causing the littlest hurdle to be overwhelming or the most pleasant experience to be missed. Mindfulness allows individuals to fully experience the present, good or bad, non-judgmentally, one mindfully, and effectively.

Strength-Based

Strength-based therapy is a type of positive psychotherapy and counseling that focuses more on your internal strengths and resourcefulness, and less on weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings. This focus sets up a positive mindset that helps you build on you best qualities, find your strengths, improve resilience and change worldview to one that is more positive. A positive attitude, in turn, can help your expectations of yourself and others become more reasonable.

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of psychological treatment that has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of mental health issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and phobias. This therapy involves using rapid eye movements or other bilateral stimulation (such as tapping or buzzing) to help the brain process and integrate traumatic or disturbing memories.

One of the key benefits of EMDR therapy is that it can help to reduce or eliminate the negative symptoms associated with trauma, such as flashbacks, anxiety, and avoidance behavior. This can allow individuals to move forward in their lives and cope with difficult experiences in a healthier way.

Another benefit of EMDR therapy is that it can help to improve cognitive functioning and emotional regulation. This can lead to better decision-making, problem-solving, and emotional well-being.

EMDR therapy is also considered to be a relatively short-term treatment, with many individuals experiencing significant improvements in symptoms after just a few sessions. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who may not have the time or resources to commit to long-term therapy.

In addition to its effectiveness in treating mental health issues, EMDR therapy is also non-invasive and relatively easy to learn. This makes it a viable option for individuals who may not be comfortable with more traditional forms of therapy.

Overall, EMDR therapy is a powerful tool for individuals looking to overcome the effects of trauma and improve their mental health.
