Types of Therapies Provided
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We explore the impact of your thoughts on your emotions and behaviors and vice versa. Most people notice symptom improvement within 10-20 sessions, though this can vary. CBT can be useful for adults, kids, and teens.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) works to gradually expose you to a feared stimulus and prevent a typical response or ritual (avoidance, engaging in a compulsion, etc.). Avoidance and rituals keeps you from learning your true tolerance of the stimulus and prevents you from habituating or becoming de-sensitized to the stimulus. This keeps you fearing the stimulus; however, through collaborating together, we will slowly help build your tolerance. ERP is used to treat OCD, while exposure therapy is useful for panic, phobias, and anxiety in general.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a form of CBT for adults who have experienced trauma. In sessions, we will identify unhelpful thinking patterns that often result from one or more traumatic experience(s). People who have experienced trauma tend to have negative beliefs about the following themes: safety, trust, power/control, esteem and intimacy. Together, we will work to develop more balanced beliefs in these areas and help you move past the trauma in the safe environment of therapy.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a trauma treatment for children/teens who have experienced a life threatening or overwhelmingly distressing event. After a trauma, children might appear anxious, become hypervigilant (or on the lookout for danger), avoid reminders of the trauma, startle easily, etc. With TF-CBT, we will work with the child/teen and parent to building coping skills, identify unhelpful beliefs, and process the trauma through a trauma narrative.
Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) is a parent training program backed up by more than 35 years of research. Triple P gives parents strategies to help them build strong, healthy relationships, confidently manage their children’s behavior, and gain the skills to address problems that might arise in the future.
