Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavior Therapy treatment (CBT) is a goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that focuses on thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs and how they affect your state of mind and mental health. A cognitive-behavioral therapist will work with you to restructure thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs that are understood to lead to negative emotions such as anxiety. CBT can be an effective tool for those dealing with anxiety, phobias, OCD, depression, and many other mental health concerns. CBT can also be useful for those without mental health concerns to better address stressful situations and environments.

Exposure Therapy

Exposure therapy involves developing a hierarchy of distressing situations and gradually confronting these stress-inducing scenarios with the help and support of a mental health professional. Over time the individuals learn how to manage the stress and anxiety associated with these scenarios. For example, OCD Exposure Therapy includes a comprehensive evaluation to understand what symptoms are present as there are over a trillion different types of OCD, psychoeducation to understand symptoms and treatment, and confronting fears head on in a gradual and supportive manner. Exposure therapy can be effective for individuals with OCD, anxiety, and specific phobias.

Mindfulness Therapy

Mindfulness therapy, including mindfulness based cognitive therapy approaches focus on being present in the moment and observing situations, emotions, thoughts and feelings from a non-judgmental and self-compassionate perspective. Mindfulness therapy approaches have been found to help alleviate anxiety, depression and stress by teaching ways to manage unwanted thoughts and feelings.

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy is one of the best evidence-based treatments for children between the ages of 2 and 6. These sessions teach parents/caregivers play therapy skills as well as methods to manage unexpected behaviors using procedures that are systematic and developmentally sensitive. Sessions are structured to coach parents/caregivers in using high-quality play using data to guide and inform treatment.
